Sorry, I don't think that you can do anything about that. The difference is due to "modern production values". There is a "fashion" for adding loads of compression and reverb effects onto vocals and this has been done on those more recent recordings. It's like adding milk and sug...

But just in case, what media player do you recommend for getting as less modifications as possible on the original record ? Personally I like Foobar2000 . It looks very basic and bare-bones, but like Audacity it is a lot more capable than its simple appearance might suggest. It can play almost any ...

But you joined the labels. What relevance is that? Why should that make a difference? I don't need a separate label and label track for the sentence. That's why I joined the words. From the code it is pretty clear that it is an unintended behaviour (a "bug") but you have found a way that ...

you argued I think that if a selection touched a label, then the label should be included in the selection. I argued for: an entirely consistent behaviour with one option in Preferences for "Retain Labels when they define an edge of a selection" I'm arguing for consistent behaviour here a...

Here's a new cross-fading effect designed to produce quick and easy "DJ" style cross-fades. No instructions yet, but I've made a little demo video: http://youtu.be/zKbWBSorgTw Features: Dead easy to use - just trim and overlap your tracks as required, then apply the effect. The crossfade i...

To Pause then Resume playback press the "P" key or the || Pause button.

You cannot edit while paused.

To Stop and set the "play from position" to where you stop, press shift + A.

I have virtual machines for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, would those be compatible with Audacity 2.0 with my sound card? Audacity should be able to run in a virtual machine (but probably rather sluggishly), but I don't think it will help. The "virtual" sound system of the guest machine is...
