Audacity websites not opening

There was a problem with the web server.

Can't play WAV file on CD player, recorded conversation with my parents and grandparents. Shows WAV file on CD but won't play. I did select Audio CD in Windows Media Player. What else do I need to do? Ensure that you create an audio CD not a data CD. Please stop posting the same question all over t...

Windows Media Player is not a good CD burning program.

Please don't multiple post the same question.

You've posted in the Audacity 1.2 part of the forum, but for Vista you should be using Audacity 1.3.12

No.

I don't think that *scratch* can hold sounds can it? It appears to be possible to set *scratch* to a sound, but the data disappears so when you try to get the sound back out of *scratch* you have a sound of zero length and zero amplitude - a kind of "null sound". It's probably a good thing...

2) Find visual eviedence that a deletion occurred? You know how photographs can be manipulated in programs like PhotoShop. Sometimes it is really obvious that the picture has been messed with, but sometimes it can be done so well that even an expert will have difficulty saying with certainty if it ...

Support for "Preset menu". [Update: Nyquist plug-ins now have the "Manage" button, which supports presets. Limitation: There is as yet no way for the plug-in developer to define presets other than the "factory default".] (from this post http://forum.audacityteam.org/vi...

Thanks both for the comments. It would be really good if the sliders moved when I selected a preset. Where does the problem lie with that? I agree that would be a nice feature, but it's not available in Audacity. The plug-in runs in "Nyquist" which is a separate thing from Audacity. Nyquis...

You could store the (peak s) value in *scratch* and then compare it to the (peak s) value of all subsequent tracks and that's still not going to tell you what the peak value of mixing the tracks will be. For example, if you have 2 tracks that are equal amplitude and 180 degrees out of phase, the su...

No, Nyquist in Audacity can't do that. It can only process one track at a time, so although it is possible to find the peak level of each track individually, it is not possible to calculate what the combined level of multiple tracks will be.
