Re: File formats & data loss?

The default format for audio data in Audacity is 32 bit (float). This format allows you to processes the audio repeatedly with virtually zero data loss. Can I throw out the .AUP files? Not so fast.<G> I ask because in the future I might want to re-edit the music, clean up clicks and pops, etc. and i...

Re: Help!I uninstalled and Reinstalled and I'm Lost!

When you run Audacity 1.3 will read the audacity.cfg file if it exists. If the file does not exist, Audacity will look in the Windows Registry for settings created by Audacity 1.2.x (we want to stop this from happening because you had a problem with Audacity 1.2.6) If the audacity.cfg file exists an...

Re: sweep generator and triangular tone

There is a sine wave sweep generator: "Generate menu > Chirp" This generator can also produce "Sawtooth" waves, which can be easily converted to triangular waves using the "Nyquist Prompt" effect. If you generate a sawtooth tone with amplitude 1.0, it can be converted t...

Re: Help with MP3 files and PowerPoint

This may be a more appropriate question for a PowerPoint Forum yes it would ;) but I had a similar problem myself recently with a video file. PowerPoint will only support media files if (1) the file is supported by Windows Media Player, and (2) Windows Media Player is the default player for that fo...

Re: Audacity .wav files rejected by trial version of Nero 10

As far as I'm aware, all CD burning programs will accept "44100 Hz 16 bit Microsoft PCM stereo WAV" files (including the trial version of Nero). The sample rate of the exported file is always the same as the "Project Rate". Immediately before you Export your file, set the Project...
