I was hoping that there would be a less time consuming way to do it, There probably is, but as I said, that's the way that I would approach it. A small shortcut would be to miss out step 4 and then in step 5 you only need to apply a fade-in fade-out to the audio clips in track 2. This will save a f...

There's a plug-in called "Chris's dynamic compressor" that was designed specifically with this type of application in mind. You can get it here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Compressor
I'd suggest trying it first with the default settings and then work from there.

the clip fix you made clipfix.ny was made by Benjamin Schwartz. First, the wave has a splitter-style hi-pass applied ... As soon as you apply a filter to the waveform the shape of the waveform changes completely and the clipped regions become undetectable. As an example, the the top track is a clip...

There's probably several ways to do this, but this is how I'd approach it. 1) Duplicate the section(s) that you want to compress. (shortcut: select the section then press Ctrl+D ) Allow a bit of extra space at the start and end of each of these selected regions. Drag each of these sections onto trac...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to try Nero... If you have Nero, then please do try using it. That would be a good test to confirm that the hardware is working correctly. If it works correctly in Nero then that would be a good indication that it is just a simple set-up issue that needs to be set corre...

The .tone file is not actually a sound file, so the short answer is "no Audacity cannot edit .tone files". Slightly longer answer - the .tone file is a short script written in plain text that provides instructions for the iPods built in tone generator to tell it what sounds to make. The fi...

The Samson CO1U USB microphone is a mono device. It only produces one (mono) channel of sound. Set Audacity to record "1 channel (mono)" in "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices" and you will get a mono recording that plays through both left and right speakers/headphones.

Usually Chris's Dynamic Compressor would be applied to the entire track. I guess that you have some specific reason for not doing that. If you could describe the particular job that you are working on and what you are trying to achieve then we may be able to suggest an effective method for achieving...

The 1.3.x manual is currently only available in HML format. Tools exist that allow printing of entire web sites, but note that the full manual runs to over 200 hundred pages, many of which will not be relevant to the tasks that you are using Audacity for. If you need a hard copy, it may be worth con...

Do you only record internet radio? Are you able to make a test recording of some other sound source (for example recording from a microphone or from a CD player)? If the problem only occurs when recording Internet streams then the problem could be that your internet connection is running a bit too s...
