I think it's because

Code: Select all

CursSelEnd:

created it.

I'll test your macro and see if I can reproduce what you are seeing, then I'll get back to you.

Re: Audio Book track editing

I have several audio books, and the chapters always break at odd and unproductive places. is there a way I can merge all the tracks, and then create my own tracks, based on where I want/need the breaks to be? Yes you can do that with Audacity, though I'd recommend doing it in a slightly different w...

I hear my guitar through the headphones, yet it doesn't record.
Do you get a "flat line recording", or does the cursor get "stuck" at the beginning of the track?
If the latter, does the Pause button indicate that it is pressed down?

Re: Audacity crashes pulseaudio recording when opened

I'm not sure of the significance of the Digital label on the playback choice but give it a try. Usually that indicates that output is digital only. I would have expected there to be a 2 channel "hw:0,0" Analog output, but there isn't one listed :? @soulstenance When you got the "Audi...

Can you tell me what these limits are in WAV files?
The upper frequency is limited to half the sample rate (this is called the "Nyquist frequency").

The size of normal WAV files are limited to 4 GB.

The amplitude for most WAV files (integer format WAV) is limited to a maximum of 0 dB.

Re: Reversing the Measurement of the Vertical Scale

Thank you steve, but that doesn't work for 'waveform (dB)'. "Waveform (dB)" displays the dB level relative to "full scale" (sometimes written as "dBFS"). This is the standard way to measure signal levels. The reference level (full scale) is 0 dB, thus normal signal lev...

and how bout this rascal for an interface?
I've not used one myself, but reviews seem decent. Quite similar to the UMC202HD but the (more expensive) UMC202HD has two microphone inputs.

Re: I am New to Home Recording. Please Be Gentle :)

so, would maybe Reaper be better for adding 2 or 3 guitar parts to an existing pre mix project? Reaper is probably a better choice if you are wanting to record multiple tracks at the same time. Reaper can use "ASIO", and most multi-channel interfaces require ASIO for full functionality on...

Re: I am New to Home Recording. Please Be Gentle :)

If you are only recording one (or two) track(s) at a time, Audacity is "OK" for multitrack mixing but it's missing some features of a full DAW Yes the workflow is different, but I've done a lot of multi-track projects with Audacity and in a lot of ways it is much easier than using a "...

Re: basic editing: clip boundary question

In your first image, the first split is around 41.8 and the second split around 43.7 In the second image, the section from 41.8 to 43.7 has been replaced with audio that is 0.75 seconds long. So now the first two splits are around 41.8 and 42.55. It appears that the selection after pasting is still ...
