Re: How to change the language

The default language for Audacity is American English. It has been translated to a greater or lesser extent into 47 other languages. Translations are provided by skilled volunteers that produce translations files. Some of the documentation has also been translated. The mechanism used for translating...

Re: Problem Recording with upgrade to 1.3 Beta

But it saves as a data file What exactly do you mean? An Audacity Project has 2 parts. There is an AUP file and a _data folder. If you open Audacity and immediately use "File menu > Save As", then navigate to a writeable location, give the project a name and click OK, there should be a fi...

Re: T-Bone's SC1100 vs SC140

From this first test, the SC140 has a higher noise floor, particularly below 100 Hz, but it produces a nice "open" sound. It may be benefiting from being slightly further from the sound hole. I look forward to hearing more samples.

Re: Problem Recording with upgrade to 1.3 Beta

Test 1. Try temporarily shutting down your anti-virus program (disconnect from the Internet before trying this test). Then make a test recording. It looks like something is removing the temporary files as soon as they have been created (which is very strange) Do you have any "automatic clean-up...

Re: Export WAV: disk full? Libsndfile says "garbage_here"

metadata is empty Just in case there are any invisible characters in the metadata, open the metadata editor and click on the "Clear" button, then the "OK" button, then try saving again. (This is probably not the problem, but it would be useful to eliminate this possibility). Are...

Re: Text Envelope

Thanks for the comments Gale, I was rather hoping that you might make some suggestions about the text. Actually I'm not sure what the changes in 1.3.14 are that have affected this plug-in. I had not picked this up for possible release noting. Can you point me to it possibly? The changes were by Edga...

Re: No effects when recording with multi effects processor?

Audacity does not have an "effect removal" setting - it just records whatever it is receiving from the computer sound system.
If you are playing the sound recorded by Audacity on little computer speakers, it will sound nothing like the sound from a guitar amp.

Is your computer a laptop PC?

Re: No effects when recording with multi effects processor?

then the mono out of the processor going to the microphone input of my computer That's probably not ideal. Microphones produce very tiny signals (about 1000 x smaller than a line level signal) so you are probably starting with a massive level mismatch. Does the "mono out" have effects app...

Re: Pitch shift voice

Is there software to create sub-harmonics? I know there's no such thing in analog electronics, but in digital... Put a frequency or narrow range of frequencies in and it will produce octave-down versions use a band-pass filter on a copy of the track to isolate the frequency band that you wish to cr...
