Audacity Forum

You need to use a converter that understands the format from your Olympus VN-6200 PC to convert them into a supported file type such as WAV. You can then import the WAV files into Audacity. You're not the first person to have problems with files from an Olympus recorder - it seems that they regularl...

How are you playing the CD?

Audio CDs support "tracks" and that's all. You can choose how many "tracks" by splitting the recording into the required number of files in the way that you have described. Audio CDs don't support "sub-tracks" or "jump points" of any sort other than tracks, th...

The files are mono at the moment and they need them in stereo. Did they say that they "need" them in stereo or did they just warn you that the recordings are mono? What exactly are you recording and how are you recording it? They said to bring the master fader down so that the mix doesn't...
