Re: turn Pan & Gain sliders off

I think that is an important consideration. It should not be possible to have an off-centre mono track with no pan slider.

Re: Please help! Time shift tool problem..

Another possibility - Make sure that you don't have the tracks "selected" (highlighted). Just click once with the normal selection tool on the track (that will remove any highlighting), then switch to the Time Shift tool (F5 key).

Re: Inputs / Outputs

Even with my efforts, I can't seem to decrease the crackle enough so that it's barely noticeable! but it's a noticeable improvement. For Linux there is a program called Gnome Wave Cleaner. It's a bit buggy (quite old software) but may be able to do a better job at reducing the noise than Audacity c...

Re: Input Level Slider moves around on its own (SOLVED)

In the Skype settings there is a check box that allows automatic adjustment of microphone and/or speaker levels. I had that box for the microphone checked. Once I unchecked that, I am now not seeing that level slider move. Excellent, I thought it might be that. I'll mark this as solved. And for any...

Re: beat

Thanks, I understand now. The "beat finder" is intended for use on music for marking the rhythmical beats in the music with labels. The fact that it is finding "beats" in the speech recordings is an accident of how the plug-in works. "Beat Finder" is a simple plug-in th...

Re: Adding parameter to Cleanspeech

You could select 22050. The resulting audio will have a slightly lower high frequency cut off than using 24000 but will sound pretty much the same. Alternatively if you click on any of the values in the list, you can use the back-space or DEL keys to remove the current text (does not delete the pres...

Re: inquiry about audio sample, confused of recorder samples

One more question: Do playback have the same scenario? That we have to fed a 8bit signed(+127 to -128) also to the audio? because I created a sine wave tone (from this formula: Amplitude*sin(2*Pi*Freq*Time)...Amplitude used was 120 currently what i did was, I cast the output of the formula to integ...

Re: How do I record a CD from Audacity?

I would recommend using dedicated CD burning software rather than Windows Media Player. CDBurnerXP is a free program for Windows and it's much better than Windows Media Player for making audio CDs. http://cdburnerxp.se/en/home

Re: inquiry about audio sample, confused of recorder samples

Actually, 8-bit WAV files use unsigned integers (0-255). 16 bit WAV files use signed integers. Silence is 128. Here is a reference. I totally agree that is what an 8 bit RIFF file should be, but I'm confused by the original post: I have a recorder app, the settings for the recorder is 96000 samplin...

The file is corrupt.
I've opened it in a hex editor and the file contents are just zeros.
Is this a file that you've tried to recover after deletion?
