Re: Import WAV problem

So, how do I make my file sound like this? Is there a way to uncompress it? Probably your best bet is the free format converter "SUPER" (by erightsoft). Downloading SUPER is a link jungle, but worth the effort as it can convert most media formats. As the file appears to be a WAV file (but...

Re: Recording Skype Conversation

It's rapidly getting worse. Each day brings a software package that fixes one small problem in the older systems -- but only talks to its own machines. The power of the advertising buck - and all of these applications can talk to each other: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Open+Source+VOIP+Softw...

Re: recording problem with 2 channels

Re: Windows or Linux

Do you speak UNIX? The graphic user interface in Linux will only take you so far and then you need to get into the command-line details. That's a very outdated view. Access to the command line is still readily available for users that prefer to use it, though virtually everything can be done throug...

I guess the question is - is there a good reason why a selection is necessary before accessing the Nyquist prompt? Historically I sus...

Re: Audacity only records right channel

Unfortunately that does not help much - it does not appear to be listed on their website, and no mention of USB capabilities. Unless it says anything in your manual, all I can suggest is that you record as a stereo track, then after recording, click on the track name and from the drop-down menu sele...
