unless you wanna come to me an do it lol I would love to, but I suspect the distance is prohibitive :) (though I think we are at least in the same country. UK?) The only other thing that I can think of is checking that your sound card drivers are the latest available. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/w...

Transfering data does not loose quality, but decoding and re-encoding into a lossy format does reduce quality. Not being a Zune user I don't know if Zune will allow you to directly transfer data or if it is decoded/re-encoded during the transfer process. You may also need to check if there are any i...

There are different standards for "Line level". Consumer audio equipment usually has a nominal level of −10 dBV Professional audio equipment usually has a nominal level of +4 or +6 dBu If the Sony DAT is using the professional standard, a full-scale signal will overload a consumer standard...

The good side is that it indicates that Audacity is working. The bad side is that it indicates that the computer sound system is still not configured correct...

which is the best quality sound type of file that I can extract from a film I presume that you mean extracting from a DVD? When you have FFmpeg installed, try directly importing a VOB file (not the very small VOB file that is on most DVDs as that will probably not have any audio in it). I'm not sur...

I think that must be a bug. Audacity is not recognising Nyquist plug-ins with an upper case .NY file extension.

Glad you've got it working, and thanks for letting us know what the problem was.

The Rode NT1A is a mono microphone, so no problem with recording it as a mono track. When you burn a CD you need to set the type of CD to be an "audio CD" (not a "data CD" as most CD players will not play data CDs). When you burn an audio CD, if the source file is mono, then the ...
