Re: Draw Tool grid Idea

I forgot to say that you should be able to move the ruller to change the grid. So the yellow line would snap to 0.39 rather then 0.40 if you moved the ruller down. In the picture shown. What I had in mind for the "yellow line" idea was that (when enabled) the line would automatically foll...

Re: good midi files for songs like New Gold Dream

Popular MIDI files are usually pretty easy to find with a simple Google search. If the songs that you want do not come up quickly then you will be really struggling to get them anywhere as there's relatively few people still producing MIDI versions of songs. One of the big problems with trying to fi...

Re: Profile

Audacity 1.2 cannot open YouTube videos. It only supports a small number of file types. You need Audacity 1.3.13 and you also need to install FFmpeg.

Re: Recording SILENTLY in Windows 7, using audacity

Turn the Recording level up quite high and keep the playback level low. Aim for a peak recording level that is about half the track height (about -6 dB on the recording meter). After recording, disconnect the "loopback" cable. Use the Amplify effect to bring the recorded track up to 0 dB o...

Re: Audacity screen goes all purple

I don't quite understand.
You were using Audacity 1.3.something beta on Windows XP and it was working OK, but now all of a sudden the screen goes purple and you can't record anything on Windows 7 and you haven't changed anything?

Re: Equal Loudness normalizing

A-weighted RMS is designed to measure low level noise (around 40 phon). It is frequently used to measure other types of audio signal, but it is a poor match for "loudness". One of the best algorithms for loudness is that used by Replay Gain, but unfortunately it is difficult to code that i...

Re: Lost recordings after exporting to WAV format

How much free disk space is there on the computer?
Are you doing any editing before you export?
How long are the recordings (before editing)?
