Has anyone found a solution to make Audacity work with XP? I have a Thinkpad T61. The problem is not with XP as such - I use a Toshiba laptop at work with XP and have no problem at all with using Stereo Mix in Audacity - the problem is with some sound card drivers and/or hardware. Trying to get ste...

As waxcylinder suggested, try the Sound Finder to mark the words with labels, then use Export Multiple to export each labelled region as a separate file. The process is similar to what is described in the first part of this tutorial: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Splitting_recordings_into_separa...

Again that appears to be a "controller keyboard" - that is, it produces MIDI messages rather than producing actual sounds. Audacity records sounds, not MIDI. It IS possible to record sounds using a MIDI controller keyboard, but that requires using a software synthesizer of some sort. Progr...

No, I cannot presently import my individual mono tracks from my recorder, or, at least when I click on them nothing happens. If you are able to get the individual audio tracks off your recorder and onto your computer (that's the part that we can't really help with, so consult your manual and if nec...

A reasonably modern computer should be able to do 6 or 7 tracks with ease, but the default set up for Windows is designed for running spreadsheets and the like, not for running a recording studio. To get decent audio performance it is often necessary to do a few tweaks and optimisations. See how you...

Put it in the Audacity Plug-ins folder, then restart Audacity and it will appear in the Effect menu (below "the line").
On Windows computers, this is usually under "Program Files". On Mac OS X, it is usually under "Applications"
