Audacity Forum

You can create a single long track by this method: 1) Open Audacity 2) Import track 1 3) Import track 2 4) Change to the "Time Shift" tool (F5 key) 5) Drag track 2 so that it starts at the end of track 1 6) Zoom out 7) Import track 3 and slide it to end of track 2 8) Repeat for the rest of...

Any recording suite that does not punch in is useless. You can punch in, but Audacity does it non-destructively by placing the punched in audio onto a different track. Any program that is limited to destructive punch-in recording (over-writing the original take) is far less useful for me, so I'll s...

Note there is a comparable list on the Wiki "Multichannel Recording" page. Excellent, I'd not spotted that page but I was hoping to use this topic as a "feeder" for such a page on the wiki. Just to be clear, this topic is about Windows and possibly Linux, is that so? ... I thoug...

If anyone wants to try using the "HowTo: Remove dither noise from silence" technique with "tremwav" samples (Experiments with dither), I would suggest the following settings for use with tremwav16-triangle.wav Gate frequencies above = 1.0 kHz Level Reduction = -100 dB (silence) G...

Another user case for removing dither from silence. If you want to use the "Detach at Silences" function, dithered "silence" will not be recognised as silence. "Detach at Silences" does not have a GUI (it's in the Edit menu) and there is no way to configure a threshold ...

This may be better as a new topic, so I've made it as a new post so that it can be easily split-off from the topic. Experiments with dither. The attached file has 4 copies of the same sound (a modulated 1kHz sine wave at a very low level fading out). tremwav.wav is the original sound exported at 32 ...

Funnily enough the majority of people who report dither noise as a "bug" (which it currently is if you are exporting to 16-bit from a 16-bit project) claim that the audio (not just the "silence") sounds better with the dither turned off. If you do a straight import -> Export of ...

It also depends on what you want to record. If you are wanting something portable for making microphone recordings, then one of the compact "field recorder" devices (such as the Zoom H2, Fostex FR2 LE, Edirol R-4, .....) would be ideal. If you want to record from a mixing desk, or from a t...

I'm pretty sure that it's just PCM and not ADPCM. What's messing it up for you is they've messed around with the sample rates so that the file contains different sections in different sample rates. The section that you posted (gnru37_8000_4000.zip) sound to me as if the voice is supposed to be squea...

If you join them altogether into one file then there will only be one track on the CD and you will not be able to skip from one "song" to the next. Is that what you want, or do you want a CD that has multiple tracks, but without any gaps between the tracks? 2 other relevant questions: What...
