Re: Using tempo

Any caveats before I begin, such as a certain level that users have found begins to really show the distortion that is rather obvious when you apply some heavy-handed level like -40? On speech the distortion is usually pretty bad if you go beyond -20%. Generally I prefer not to use this effect. Som...

Re: Separated Assets and Project File?

By "Assets" I presume that you mean "dependencies". There is a page here that explains what makes up an Audacity project http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/File_Management_Tips The problem that I think you are having is that the dependencies are not where Audacity expects to find ...

Could you just use "Pause"? (either click the Pause button, or press the "P" key)

Re: Stuttering when recording

the problems seem to occur when I am using the Line 6 GSX and podfarm through Audacity. USB audio interfaces can be prone to drop-outs and other intermittent problems like this due to the USB being unable to keep up with the data. The problem is not so much the required data speed, but the fact tha...

Re: Importance of recording Levels

Audacity only deals with digital data. It uses another open source project " PortAudio " to intercept data from the sound card driver. The device driver at minimum messes with the relative amplitude of the USB input. Otherwise the volume control would be disabled. Spot on, but it does that...
