Re: 12-Bit Recording

You can set the sample rate to 26.040 kHz by typing 26040 into the Project Rate box in the lower left corner of the main Audacity window. When you export your file, that sample rate will be used for the exported file. Audacity does not support 12 bit audio so you will need to Export in a higher qual...

Download the "Audacity 1.3.12 installer" (.exe file) that is appropriate for your operating system onto your Desktop. Run the file from an Administrator account.

Re: Cue List in Audacity?

I get an "Edit metadata" dialog. I have no interest in this. I didn't see a way to skip this step. Any suggestions on that? I think you've posted in the wrong part of the forum - I bet you're using Audacity 1.3.x and not 1.2.x ? (look in Audacity "Help menu > About Audacity" for...

Re: I get a watery sound when removing noise in audacity

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-co ... evices/221 I know you've mentioned these before and recommended them as inexpensive microphones for voice recording, but going back to the first post, are they likely to be any good for recording an acoustic guitar? I'm sure the noise level will be lower ...
