Audacity Forum

The discrepancy is due to inaccuracies in the sound card. A reasonable quality sound card should be able to consistently achieve accuracy of 1 or 2 milliseconds, but I see that you're seeing inaccuracies of 10 to 20 milliseconds. You could try changing the host setting (just below the Pause button) ...

It's probably not a "basic MP3".
What does MediaInfo say about the file?

I can play the burned CD on my computer, but not in a CD player. You have probably either made a data CD (rather than an "audio" CD), or you're using the wrong sort of disk. You need to use "CD-R" disks (not CD-RW and not any sort of DVD). My favourite CD burning software for Wi...

As a rough rule of thumb, For uncompressed CD quality stereo music: 10 MB per minute For compressed, reasonable quality stereo music: 1 MB per minute (10:1 compression) Compressing greater than 10:1 will cause noticeable loss of sound quality. 3 hours = 180 minutes. If the audio is mono then you can...

I have some MP3 tracks ..., which suffer from severe clipping. If that is the case, then that's the end of the story. Severe clipping cannot be cured. Amplifying severely clipped audio does not "un-clip" the audio, it just makes the clipped audio quieter (quiet bad sound vs loud bad sound...

Hey Gale. Can you change it so, that it calculates both channels (so just does two passes, first left and then right), then just adds them together and divides the result by 2 for an average? (a+b)/2 That probably isn't the correct way to handle stereo tracks, but more importantly the WCAG 2.0, Suc...

Does your 1010 work correctly (multi-channel) with other apps? If not you may need to check the .asoundrc file. (a link that may help http://www.pogo.org.uk/~mark/linuxdj/ ) Sorry I can't be more helpful. I assume that you're aware of the ALSA Developer Zone information: http://www.alsa-project.org/...

what I actually meant was a code that adopts the name I gave the track in audacity. Sadly that can't be done. Nyquist is a separate program from Audacity, but bundled with Audacity. When a plug-in is run, Audacity passes the track audio data and (in the case of GUI plug-ins) the user input to Nyqui...

The project has invalid metadata - the random stuff in the error message (probably due to importing a file that contained invalid metadata ). In Audacity 2.0, go to the File menu and select the Metadata Editor. Press the "Clear" button, then the "OK" button. You should now be abl...

at times the menu headers will disappear (File, Edit, View, Transport, Tracks, Generate, Effects, Analyze, and Help.) I presume you mean when you close Preferences. That's a known bug in WxWidgets 2.8.12 The issue has been recently fixed and should be available in the soon to be released 2.8.13 htt...
