Audacity Forum

Your anti-virus program could be the problem, or at least a contributing factor. Are you able to set Audacity as a "trusted application"? If available in your anti-virus program, also set it to ignore .AU files. Audacity writes audio data as .AU files (thousands of them). If your anti-viru...

I think it would be a boon to those users who are intimidated by the Equalization effect. +1 I'm OK in principle as long as it replaces Bass Boost. I'm generally OK with that, but there are some issues that should be considered. The Bass Boost effect is approximately twice as fast as the Tone Contr...

There's probably not a huge amount that you can do. A bit of "Noise Reduction" may help, but it is very important not to over-do it. You can probably reduce the level of background hiss, but if you try to totally eliminate it the remaining audio will sound terrible (all metallic and bubbly...

For Windows 7 you should be using Audacity 1.3.12 (get it here: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows ) The USB device must be connected before you launch Audacity. Then when you open Audacity, go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices" and check that the USB option is selected as t...

You've also said in your message to [email protected] that "for AC3 it says it can't import Dolby Digital (and this is a file that I exported with Audacity 1.3.12!)". What happens exactly? Export a track as AC3 using the default Ubuntu 10.10 build of FFmpeg in the default Audacity 1.3.12. All app...

You're welcome Paul. Try this as your .bat file: cd %~dp0 mkdir converted FOR %%A IN (%*) DO sox -r 6000 -c 1 -v 0.9 %%A -t wav -r 8000 "converted/%%~nxA.wav" pause Save it as something like "vox-to-wav.bat" in your sox directory. You should then be able to drop multiple .VOX fil...

Well it appears that Audacity 1.3.7 can import .VOX files, though the ability to do so appears to have been left out of later versions. I'm guessing that Audacity 1.3.7 is able to correctly identify the encoding of these VOX files based on the file extension, but because there is nothing in the file...

Sorry, I also intended to ask which version of Windows.

In the mean time I'll have a go with Audacity 1.3.7 and see what happens.

Well I can confirm that it is a "Dialogic ADPCM" file and that the sample rate is 6kHz, but I've no idea how you are able to import it. I didn't think that Audacity was supposed to be able to do that apart from using "Import Raw". :? Which exact version of Audacity are you using?...

In that case I think the VOX file must be in a format other than Dialogic ADPCM.
I realise there could be some confidentiality issues involved, but do you have a short example file that you could share? It doesn't need to be much, I just need to find out exactly what the format is.
