Re: Can Audacity record at 192kHz?

I thought 192kHz is 192,000 24 bit samples per second. 192 kHz is the sample rate, which is the number of samples per second. 24-bit refers to the "bit depth" (bit format) and is the number of bits used to represent each sample. CDs use 16 bit (2 bytes per sample) at 44.1 kHz (44100 sampl...

Re: Creating layers with 2 iTunes files

Are you using Audacity 1.3.13 (look in "Help > About Audacity") In Audacity 1.3.13 you can double click on an audio clip to select it (the audio is highlighted) Then press Cmd+C to copy (or select Copy from the Edit menu) Click once at the point where you want to paste the copy. Press Cmd+...

Re: Recording with Samson C01 USB

Connect the C01 before you open Audacity. After waiting for Windows to recognise the device, open Audacity. In the Device Toolbar select the USB option for the Input Device and your normal sound card as the Output Device. In the Transport Menu, "Software Playthrough" should be off (not sel...

Re: Can Audacity record at 192kHz?

Yes it can. Click on "Other" then type in 192000 However, unless you are recording bats squeaking or other ultrasonic sounds (we had one user on the forum doing exactly that) then there is little point in running above 96 kHz. Sound cards that are designed for audio are designed with a hig...

Re: Audacity killed my webcam

Audacity 1.3.x makes no changes to the computer system other than (optionally) adding file associations to Audacity (if you select that option during installation). If your webcam has stopped working then the cause is likely to be something other than Audacity. Have you recently added a new USB devi...

Re: Creating layers with 2 iTunes files

I would definitely recommend using Audacity 1.3.13 as it is much better at handling multiple audio clips than the old 1.2.x version. You can get it here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ In Audacity 1.3.13 you can duplicate the track by going to the Edit menu (while the track is selected) and click...

Re: Frequency differences

If you generate a 100 Hz tone, then it will be 100 Hz. The frequency indicated in the Change Pitch effect is intended as a guide only. There has been some discussion about this recently and the interface may change in future releases of Audacity as that frequency display is not very accurate and can...

Wrong type of Import file browser <SOLVED>

Building from SVN head on Debian Squeeze or Linux Mint Debian Edition. The Import file browser has a text field for the file name. Single clicking on a file does not enter the name into that field. Double clicking on a file selects the file and loads it. It is not possible to import more than one fi...
