Re: Multitrack playback bug

Many people use Audacity alongside other music production tools, but I think that the point that Koz was making lies in his final sentence. Audacity does not aim to emulate hardware - if that's what you want then perhaps Reason by Propellerhead would suit you better. Audacity is a tool, which for ma...

Re: Please help with Recovery

Although Audacity 1.2.x produces .AU files in numerical order when you record, as soon as you start editing new .AU files will be created and then the files will no longer be in numerical order. I know what you mean about the "Alienese" but unfortunately it does not get any better than as ...

Re: Append Import

This version adds a feature that may help to recover stereo recordings from a crashed Audacity 1.2 (though the plug-in requires Audacity 1.3.8 or later to run). The extra feature is an "Import Type" option. The choices are: Sequential: This is the (default) standard mode that imports files...

Re: Noise reduction in Audacity = Great , export file= poor

Your recording level is way too low. You need to turn up the microphone gain control or get a lot closer to the microphone.
When you record you should aim for the loudest peaks to be about half the track height.

Re: latency, issues with recording

Have you posted in the wrong part of the forum? This section is for Audacity 1.2.x How "off" is "slightly off"? Does the timing gradually drift out of sync, or is it a constant "bit off" throughout the recording? Is it off by the same amount each time you record? What s...

Re: special effects

To install the plug-in you need to put it into the Audacity Plug-ins folder, then restart Audacity.

Re: Normalising Audio levels

it seems to me that its something artificially boosting the volume when I stop talking for a minute or two. It's quite possible that is exactly what is happening. Skype is notorious for doing this - it's only trying to help, but it really messes up recordings. Are you sure that you don't have Skype...
