I think what I'll do is pick up a 1/4" to male mic cable, which will allow me to plug my guitar into the mic/mono side of the fastTrack. Probably a bad idea. Instruments (such as guitars) typically produce signal level several hundred times bigger than a microphone signal. Instrument signals a...

I must be encountering a different problem. I think you are. You've not said what sound card you are using, but I'm guessing that it is not an expensive one? It is common for cheap sound cards to work better at one sample rate than another. They will typically work internally at 44.1 kHz and/or 48 ...

You all were very helpful with my last project. I really appreciate it. Thank you. You're welcome. Which project was that? Have you heard of people using Audacity to record Skype calls? I've heard of people trying to do so. If they want to record both sides of the conversation at the same time on t...

"Holding down SHIFT then either clicking or using the arrow keys increments by 0.1 dB." I tested that on native XP SP3, but it was with an old (about 6? months old) alpha version of Audacity. I could probably retest sometime next week with the current nightly if it's important. Can the so...

I'm currently using Audacity 1.3.14 alpha (a new pre-release version of Audacity) and I have FFMpeg installed. It was able to import the file "gong.wav" correctly. I would have expected Audacity 1.3.13 to have done the same, but perhaps not - I've not checked. Are you using Audacity 1.3.13...

There's no obvious reason why increasing the sample rate to 96 kHz should help with issue. Did you change anything else at the same time? (increasing the sample rate to 96 kHz raises the Nyquist frequency so that frequencies above 20 kHz can be represented digitally, but I don't see how that relates...

MediaInfo says that the format is a (low quality) MP3 file.

You've posted in the Audacity 1.2.x part of the forum. If you're really using Audacity 1.2.x I'd highly recommend that you upgrade to Audacity 1.3.13 http://audacityteam.org/download/ the center of the track is slightly lower than the center of the scale. Could you post a screenshot to show what you...

We're going a little bit off the original question, but I'm interested in how this occurred.... Do you know the full file addresses of the old and new locations? (for example; D:appdatalocaltemp or whatever).

Topic moved to the Audacity 1.3.x forum. Some of the sound bites I have contain the wav extension - but Audacity suggests importing them in the raw format. Audacity does that when the files are not really in WAV format. If the files play "super fast" then they are in a compressed format (s...
