You will know the time that the recording started because it will start at the time that you set. Times of events within the recording can be worked out by adding the time in the recording to the start time. Example: If you set timer record to start at 2:00 pm to record for 1 hour, then an event tha...

That tutorial is very old (2006) and refers to an obsolete version of Audacity. The current version of Audacity is 2.0 and it is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ Instructions for using Noise Removal are in the included manual (in the Help menu) or on-line here: http://manual.audacit...

Just a quick addition: Although installing PulseAudio should provide an option for recording sounds that are playing on the computer, you need to be a bit cautious about installing PulseAudio as it links deep into the system and can be very difficult to remove if you have problems with it.

How much faster is it? I know that you say that you have done "ALL SORTS of troubleshooting including changing the sample rate(in the left hand-bottom corner of Audacity) and changing the preferences concerning export", but it does sound like you have a sample rate mismatch. If you generat...

Eventually it would also be cool to have a convenient way to include the track name (e.g. muscle 1) Which code are you currently using? If it's the version in this post: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=180386#p180386 then I've added an extra option in the first line. (setq fieldtext &...

It sounds like you were recording in a swimming pool with a $5 microphone and a rubbish sound card. The best that you can do is to delete it. It's beyond repair. For a better recording, try using a $15 USB microphone in a quiet location with plenty of soft furnishings and the people talking close to...
