Re: cannot get audacity to record on ubuntu 10.10 x64

Re: Unable to increase bitrate from 128kbps using MP3 Conver

When using MP3 export in a chain command, Audacity uses whatever encoding options were used last. If you wish to force a particular bit rate (for example "Preset = Insane"), generate a short tone and export it as MP3 with the setting that you require. Delete the "dummy" track tha...

Re: Stereo Track is Silent???

Audacity 1.3.12 can open projects created by Audacity 1.2.6, but if you save a project with Audacity 1.3.12 then Audacity 1.2.6 will not be able to open it.

Re: How to record sound froum Keyboard?

MIDI is not sound. MIDI is digital control data http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface To record MIDI you need to use a MIDI sequencer program. Audacity is for audio. To record audio from your keyboard with Audacity you need to connect an audio output from the keyboard to ...
