Audacity Forum

Glad you're working again. If you are using an external audio device (such as a USB sound card or a USB turntable) you need to have the device connected and recognised by Windows before you launch Audacity.

When i record, i like to hear my voice in my headphones, but when i talk into the microphone, and say "Hey" it wont say "Hey" at the same time, it will delay a split second...its hard to record because it throws me off the beat...how can i fix this? Are you using a USB microphon...

Upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscore and dash. On Windows you also need to be careful of certain upper case letter combinations - someone wrote in recently about a problem with "Export Multiple" and it turned out that he was splitting a track based on "lyric" labels...

I'm certainly not an expert with regex, but yes that should also work. Valid expressions for the left channel input start with "in_" and end with odd number. It is generally good practice for regular expressions to be matched specifically to the required test data, so although in_w*[97531]...

I see the temp files go to the windows folder for the older version, if I were to delete the older version of Audacity which was 1.2.6, would I then need to create a pointing location for the new program temp files to go to? The temp folder is (usually) not inside the program folder so deleting Aud...

Is there a way to have the drum beat loop, but stay on beat with the rest of the song. Yes, by repeating it on the track. There are several ways to do this - the most obvious way is to just copy and paste the "loop". The usual Ctrl+C (Copy) and Ctrl+V (Paste) keyboard shortcuts can be use...

Try upgrading to Audacity 1.3.12
There have been significant changes to both Audacity and FLAC since the old Audacity 1.2.6 version was released.
You can have both Audacity 1.2 and 1.3 installed on the same machine.
Audacity 1.2 cannot open Audacity projects that have been saved by Audacity 1.3

You're going to kick yourself.....
Odd and even.
Odd numbers for the left channel, even numbers for the right channel.

You may be using illegal characters for the file names. Note that on Windows, if you try to save a file as "test 15/08/10.mp3" it will fail because slashes are not allowed by Windows in file names. There's a whole load of characters and names that you need to avoid - see here for the full ...

I assume that to remove all frequencies below, say, 100 Hz, I would enter the low frequency at 0 Hz? Just use a high-pass filter. from the Nyquist Prompt that would be something like (hp s 100) or (highpass4 s 100) or whichever high-pass filter you want to use. Alternatively there is a high-pass fi...
