Re: Display file extension.

Other option would be to warn the user when saving a file with a different extension than the expected... That's what Audacity currently does, but gives rise to warnings if a file name that includes a dot is entered. Currently: Save as WAV produces these results (entered file name on the left - res...

Re: Read, Add, Edit and Write Loop and Que markers to Wav

Actually, after quickly browsing through the libsndfile source, it seems that the mechanisms for reading and writing the loops and cues already are in place! It's not immediately obvious how to access the features as they appear rather private, but they seem to be there alright. So, basically one w...

Re: Compatible with M-Audio Fast Track USB interface?

Audacity should work with the M-Audio Fast Track, but don't necessarily expect it to solve the distortion problem - it's quite likely that the distortion problem is due to a sound card set-up issue and if that's the case you will still need to fix that problem. Of course you may be lucky and find th...

Re: Will not start; says program already running

If I download another rev. of Audacity, will I need to follow your protocol again? That should not be necessary. Something that I'd like you to try before you disappear. If possible, I'd like to leave you with Audacity having VST support enabled, but if this is not possible, then I think we'll just...

Re: Help with audio quality

Two things that bother me: 1) The very low frequency rumble that keeps coming in (look closely at the waveform right at the beginning of the track) 2) The noise level is not constant - it's going up and down all over the place. Notice the sudden rise in noise level just before the first word - what'...

"SP1" is "Service Pack 1" Every now and then Microsoft will release a large bundle of bug fixes and updates for Windows. This "bundle" is called a "Service Pack". If you are recording a single microphone, then that is a mono device - it only produces a mono si...

Re: P L E A S E HELP ME REMOVING THIS NOISE

Sorry James but you're asking for miracles.
There is just about every type of noise in that audio sample including broad-band noise, intermittent clunking, and multiple background voices.
A small amount of noise reduction is possible, but not enough to make the main voices clear.

Re: Removing feedback when transferring from tape to compute

It may be possible to reduce the severity by using either the Equalizer effect, or a notch filter. It's unlikely that you will be able to totally eliminate the problem. If you could post a short sample (just a couple of seconds) in WAV format, then we could have a look at what can practically be done.
