Re: Stereo recording windows 7

That could perhaps be a slightly misleading synopsis. Most users of Win 7 are able to record in 2 channel stereo. That is not to say that your issue is not a Win 7 problem (though to me it sounds more likely to be a hardware/driver problem) but Windows 7 with fully supported hardware can record in s...

Re: Submit your EQ Curves

Re. error checking, I think that it's worth taking into account the "target audience". With some types of plug-ins (such as this one, my "wave stats" and "sample printer"), these are "technical" plug-ins that are only of interest to "geeks", who shou...

Re: PLEASE HELP.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Audacity itself only supports a very limited range of audio formats (partly due to licensing restrictions). To overcome this limitation, Audacity 1.3.12 is able to use an add-on program called "FFMpeg" which greatly increases the range of file formats that it can import and export. To impo...

Re: Tips on mixing hip hop music with audacity?

I can click the quick mix feature and that puts the vocals and beat together Once the tracks have been "put together" (mixed) there are a lot more limitations to what processing you can do. It is generally better to keep the vocals and the beats in separate tracks so that you can process ...

Re: Convert audio to 5.1 as in this other thread...

For this line: old left - old right(3dB down) + 15ms delay - 10dB = new left surround I assume he means to bring the right channel down 3db, invert it, combine it with the old left, add a 15ms delay, then bring it down 10db He's not been very clear with that line, (and I'm not an expert with surrou...

Re: How do you get beats to match up

Yes you can, if you don't mind cutting out the cross-fade and making a new cross fade from the remaining (slightly shorter) audio. To make a cross-fade you need to position the two parts that are to be cross-faded on different tracks so that they overlap a bit, then fade one out through the overlap ...

Re: "DISK SPACE REMAINING TIME FOR RECORDING yy minutes"

I will download the defragger, (hopefully it will not take much disk space lol) and then I will delete the Acrobat reader I'd recommend making more free space before you try defragging. Definitely empty your trash and browser cache before defragging. With a 11 GB drive, for Windows you should alway...

Re: "DISK SPACE REMAINING TIME FOR RECORDING yy minutes"

Where would I find Foxit (that substitutes Acrobat reader)? http://tinyurl.com/dgmj5h it eventually stops at 60% saying that it cannot go further, I do not know why, Probably because you do not have enough free disk space. Windows XP has a defragmentation utility built in, but you will probably nee...

Re: metadata - can't set default after setting it once befor

And I was obviously wrong about this being a know issue No I think you were probably right, just missing some details. I'm not sure about Media Monkey (I don't use it) but it is a known issue that not all fields are supported by all programs. Many programs do not show the comment field, and some (c...
