Re: It doesn't record - need help

2) Don't get too excited ;) Yes ‘stereo mix’ will allow you to record, but for recording from "line in", the "stereo mix" option is not the best option. With "stereo mix" set as the recording input, Audacity will record all sounds that are playing through the sound card...

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

sizeColorFamily10.patch Is this still on-going? If so, which checkout revision do I need? (the patch fails against revision 11462). I strongly believe that good GUI design requires that the user's choice of font/size/color should have "feedback" I totally agree, but (on Linux) I could see...

Re: It doesn't record - need help

1) Don't panic ;) This may take a little time because we can't see your computer, but we should be able to get there. Look in the lower right corner of your desktop for a "loudspeaker" icon (near the "time / date"). Right click on the icon and select "Open Volume Control&quo...

Re: single out 2 voices

Unfortunately that needs to be done in the recording stage, not the post production stage. When listening to someone live, the human brain has the remarkable ability to "home in" on the person that we are listening to. Using visual clues and and an understanding of language and context, th...

Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

Minimum Label Length seemed to work well, though having the minimum length in minutes was awkward. Is it possible to have a [minutes seconds] text box instead as in Click Track? Yes, I agree. Good idea. I also noticed the last label produced may be less than the min length. That seems OK but just n...

Re: LAME thinks I'm on Windows

I recently downloaded the 1.3.14 beta on my 2009 Macbook, running 10.7 Lion. I also downloaded the LAME mp3 encoder for Macs. However, when I go to my libraries and try to locate it, the window says: Audacity needs the file lame_enc.dll to create MP3's. In Audacity, could you check in "Help > ...

Re: Cannot add effects?

Effects are only available when playback is stopped (not Record, Pause or Play).
You may also need to select the audio track (or part of it) first.
See here for how to select audio for processing: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Selection

Got the "write to file" function done: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=63540 I think that it includes all of the error checking of your original code POL, (let me know if I've missed anything out), plus file name verification. Hopefully not too many errors - just nee...
