Audacity Forum

Topic moved to the Audacity 1.3.x forum.

What options do you have in the Device Toolbar?

OS: version 10.04 Ubuntu? This is the Audacity 1.2.x part of the forum, which I doubt is the version that you are using. Could you check in "Help > About Audacity" and say which version you have. If you have a standard installation of Ubuntu, you will be using PulseAudio as the default so...

Glad you've got it working.
The problem would be not due to your speakers, but simply that the output from the cassette player has a much more powerful signal than the microphone input is designed to use.

I deleted your previous post as it's now not relevant.

Is this possible? Yes it is, though as PGA wrote, this is not "normal", so the method is a bit geeky :ugeek: Let's say that the chirp was generated with amplitudes: Start: 0.1 End: 1.0 To shift the red line up to the yellow line, you will need to shift the left end up by 0.1 and the right...

I think that you're very close to the limit of what Audacity Projects can currently handle. The quoted limit is 2,147,483,648 samples (about 12 hours of CD quality audio). If an Audacity Project has more samples than that, Audacity can "loose count" of the samples and then cannot open the ...
