Re: No USB Audio Device Selection

Is this the "PM-21" that you have: http://tpro.com/prods.php?prod=PM21

Check the USB connector. You may need to restart your computer.

Re: Black Screen Crash when I open a browser, Windows XP SP3

Even if Audacity crashes really badly it should not affect the stability of your system. Black Screen crashes usually indicate that there is a deeper problem with the system other than a single application. Possible issues that come to mind are: There could be a bad bit in the RAM memory (run a thor...

Re: funny noises when recording to audacity

Since changing my OS to Linux Mint (Debian) I am getting clicks in the recording (intermittently a couple of samples will be at the wrong value). The only solution that I have found so far is to set the recording device to use ALSA directly (Recording device = hw:0,0) or to use Jack. I'm unsure why ...

Re: Cross-Fade (revisited)

If the user had feedback about the length selected and the Fade Length control defaulted to twice the selection it would be fine. The selection must include the region to be faded out and the region to be faded in as Nyquist only has access to audio that is in the selected region. The potential con...

1024 bands is the maximum number possible for a selection of 1/24 seconds, but that will only provide 7 frequency bands between 100 Hz and 400 Hz so there's not going to be much detail in the low frequency range.
