Re: Problem with slight latency when making additional track

I think it would be really neat to be able to have playthrough applicable not only when recording, but also during playback. When I add tracks, I like to play new lines on top of them without actually having to record in order to hear it As you're using Jack you can use the "Connect" scre...

Re: Error compiling with FFmpeg on linux

You can probably just use the one from your distro repository.
If you want to self compile, the source code should be available from the repository, or get the tarball here: http://ffmpeg.org/download.html

Re: Export to CCITT A-Law

You will need to ensure that your track is mono before exporting (if stereo use "Tracks > Stereo Track to Mono") You need to set the Project Rate to 8000 (8 kHz) before exporting (bottom left corner of the main window) Then Export with the "Other uncompressed files" option and se...

Re: Scrub Playback?

Can't be done (in Audacity), but if you want to skip quickly through a track to hear different bits, try clicking on the timeline at the top of the tracks window.

I've added your vote for "scrubbing" here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Featu ... hest-rated

Re: Error compiling with FFmpeg on linux

It may be a compatibility issue. ffmpeg-0.11 was only released last week so I doubt that many people have tried it yet (I haven't) and most distros are still shipping 0.7.x

Re: Volume Control and Line In

I use a Behringer UCA 202. It is very basic, just stereo line level in and out. Not even any recording level adjustment (I do that on my mixing desk). It has worked perfectly on every machine that I've plugged it into, including Win XP, Vista and numerous flavours of Linux. The sound quality is pret...

Re: Using USB external sound device @ 48kHz

I've asked for a second opinion on this as I don't use Vista myself. It looks strange/wrong that none of the listed devices show any supported sample rates, but I'm not sure if that is just a peculiarity with Vista. Could you try changing the Audacity "host" setting from "direct sound...

Re: Audaicity recording palying fast Win7x64/Audacity 2.0

Hope this helps! Yes thanks, that helps "us" enormously. Now we need to see if we can help "you" :P We can see exactly what is happening - the recording is not keeping up with the audio so there are lots of bits missing. On playback, because about half of the audio is missing, p...
