Re: Copying Audio - Basic question

When I copy audio from one project in to another the audio seems to be becoming distorted. I'm wondering why you need to copy audio from one project to another. The usual reasons that people do this is to either work around limitations in the 1.2 version of Audacity, or because they don't realise t...

Re: Slow load after ASIO build (Windows 7)

Re: help with audacity

No worries, but yes it is important, Vista and Win 7 can be a pain and take some "jiggling" to get things working correctly. On Vista (and Win 7) it can be necessary to get everything set up with exactly the same settings throughout the system to get things to work. Probably the most stand...

Re: Saving Imported Files after the Fact?
