Are you using a USB cassette player?
What are you recording on? A Windows 7 laptop?
Is the pitch normal?

I still don't like having a one step pro fade out with no fade in equivalent - it just seems unbalanced to me. It's rather like "going out" and "coming home". Many people program "coming home" into their Sat Navs, but it isn't practical to program every type of "g...

No actions by me are causing this, I'm sure. The staic is steady and persistent, when it occurs. As I've mentioned before, I can stop and immediately start the recording an the noise disappears. It definitely sounds like a USB sync problem. Nothing major wrong, just enough to mess up a recording. I...

I'm using Portable Audacity. Will that work with FFMpeg? You mean from "Portable Apps"? If so, I've no idea, you'd have to just try it or ask them. However, you don't need to run Portable Apps for a portable version of Audacity as Audacity already is portable. All you need is to download ...

The duration in the dialogue defaults to the current selection length (very useful) though you can override the default by entering a different length if that's what you want.

It's neat, and certainly an inventive use of the trigger function, but it doesn't seem to be noticeably faster than a conventional DO loop. For example, in the final example from my last post, there are probably around 300 random triggers in 1 second. Converting this to a conventional DO loop would ...

There is, but it's fairly basic. You set a threshold level - when the sound goes over that level it starts recording and when it drops below that level recording stops. You need to set the level quite accurately - too low and it will record when you don't want it to, too high and it will cut off the...

There have been bugs in the past that could cause invalid data in projects. It's possible that an old version may have saved such invalid data in the project that is now causing Audacity to choke when it encounters the corrupted data.
