Choose the option to work silently around the problem ( do not delete the orphaned block files ). Any audio that appears in the project can be exported in the normal way. If no audio appears, then use the methods described here to see if any data can be recovered: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/C...

I have a mono audsio track with music and a female voice-over. How do I remove the female voice over to leave just the musci? The short, but qualified answer is "you can't". The longer answer is that you may be able to achieve some degree of success using one of the plug-ins described on ...

Exactly which version of Audacity 1.3 do you have? (look in Audacity "Help menu > About Audacity")
I'm aware that some previous versions of Audacity 1.3.x ran effects very slowly, but I don't think there should be a problem with Audacity 1.3.12

As far as I'm aware you can't add a context menu "Import to Audacity" option. However, if you already have a project open that you want to add an audio file to, you can just drag and drop the file onto the open Audacity window.

Does anyone have any advice on compression techniques and trying to maintain the balance of frequencies? The easy answer is to use a multi-band compressor - these devices/effects allow you to compress different frequency bands by different amounts, and adjust the gain of the compressed frequency ba...

You can select the track by double clicking on it, then use the Amplify effect from the Effect menu. The default setting in the Amplify effect will bring the volume up as high as possible without distorting (clipping the peaks) of the sound. As a good introduction to Audacity, have a look at the tut...

It's supposed to control the recording level slider of your sound card. Whether it works or not depends on the sound card drivers. I prefer to control the sound card directly by using the sound card mixer/control panel (on Windows this is usually available through a loudspeaker icon near the time/da...
