The recording quality with "Timer" recordings should be exactly the same as normal recording. If there is a noticeable sound quality difference between the sound that you hear playing the stream in your browser and playing back the recorded audio then there is most likely something set up ...

I assume that the file ndc-ws-08292010.aup and the folder ndc-ws-08292010_data are in their original locations on the disk? If they are, then the AUP file looks fine as far as I can see. If they have been moved or renamed, they need to be changed back. If they have not been moved or renamed you coul...

As for the effect Amplify, might it cause any artifacts or does is merely raise the amplitude to the max. ignatz has covered most of the points. The Amplify effect will "merely" raise the amplitude to whatever you have set it to. If you set it too high the OK button is (by default) greyed...

I'm not sure which version Audacity uses, but it may be using the wrong one. Can I use SoX http://sox.sourceforge.net/ audio converter to conve...

I'm just trying to mix together several different MP3s and WAVs. Whether you are recording or not, Audacity needs to be able to access both a recording device...

If you are still unable to get it working, then perhaps it is just not compatible with Audacity.

If you get this problem with just one particular project then it is likely that the project is damaged. Try starting a new project and test if the problem occurs with that. If the problem is with just the one project and you need to salvage what you can, open a new project and copy each of the track...

Upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12 You can have both the 1.2.6 and 1.3.12 versions installed on the same machine but Audacity 1.2.x cannot open projects that have been saved by the later 1.3.x version. When you delete a bad bit there may be a "split" line at the point that you deleted (depending o...
