I closed (selected the x) the first track That will delete the track. I saved. That will overwrite the original Audacity Project with the new recording. If the Audacity Project is still open, use "Undo" or the History View to step back to one step before you deleted the track, then Export...

Recording Skype or other voip software requires recording from 2 audio sources at the same time - your microphone, and the other person/people that are playing over the Internet. In XP it was often possible to do this by setting the microphone so that it would play through the sound card, and then s...

1. Would it take up that much disk space if it had been recorded as silence? Yes. Uncompressed audio holds the values of every audio sample.

One of the more common problems is Audacity 1.2.x crashing when a...

If you now have the space to do so, make a backup copy of the complete Audacity _data folder (could be onto a DVD).
The chances of manual recovery are not great, but you may be lucky.
The "Crash Recovery" page on the wiki is the best source of information re. recovering that we have.

Check in the Recording settings of the Windows Control Panel that the USB recording device is set to record 2 channel stereo.
The quickest way to access the mixer is to right-click over the speaker icon in the System Tray > Recording Devices.

On a different note, I found the the process of individually importing and modifying each track rather slow, is it possible to give your plugin the option of being attached to the Audacity toolbar(s)? As it is a "plug-in" and not a built-in effect it is not possible to put it into a toolb...

In an online language teacher I want students to be able to listen to a phrase spoken by a native speaker and to try to repeat the phrase themselves.
