Along the same lines as Trebors comment. Sometimes a tape can be wound too tight or unevenly. If you just need to play the cassette through once to record it then it may be sufficient to just wind the tape all the way through and back again (carefully) by hand (put a pencil through the spool and sta...

Done.

The GUI is the same (I forgot about the typo, I'll fix that now). About your GUI comments (and thanks again for testing). "* When the "Normalize Amplitude?" is set to "No" the "Normalize to" and its attendant slider should both be greyed out and in-operable." ...

Yes, the screen shot labels are reversed. OK, I've reversed them and added a comment to each. The tracks in the original .aup file all start at the beginning, at time zero. The selection in both images start at 113,393 so it is the "chord" track that has moved or stretched by just under 0...

I don't know why it only ever happens when overdubbing; Because the USB has to handle twice as much data. There is data coming in (recording) and data going out (playing) at the same time.

There's a difference between "decent sound card" and "decent microphone input". Most general purpose or gaming sound cards have poor quality microphone inputs. Microphone pre-amps cost money to design and manufacture, so sound cards usually cut corners on the mic input unless it ...

As you didn't say otherwise I presume that you use straight ALSA as your sound system.
If you use jack audio system, please say so as I can tell you how to set up a default channel map with jack.

Audacity does not (yet) have any channel mapping for device inputs. By default Audacity will record using the number of channels set in "Edit > Preferences > Devices", starting from channel 1 of the selected device. If your set-up is doing something different from that then that will be du...

30 minutes is a good size to work with. Audacity will be pretty snappy with that and processing the file does not take long. Up to about an hour is not bad but on my machine I start to get frustrated with projects much bigger than that due to the time taken to process a track and the slower screen r...

@Gale, so does that work out at around 65,500 (2^16) block files regardless of the sample rate?
