Audacity Forum

How do I say, splice a 30 sec. piece out of a say 30 min. file and get rid of all of the unwanted audio before and after that 30 sec. section? I then want to save these clips as new files to be emailed. I'm not quite sure that I understand what you mean by "splice", but if you just want t...

Did you check out the link in my reply to your original post?
Did you get stuck somewhere with that?

There must be both a playback and a recording device enabled in the Windows Control Panel, or Audacity won't work properly.

As far as I'm aware that is not possible. You can do it with WAV files, but not with Raw data files.
Does drag and drop work? If not, how about running a batch conversion on the files to make them into WAV files (you may be able to do that with SOX)

Congratulations :) To be strictly correct, you have one more ")" at the end than there should be. If you use the "Debug" button it should show you an error message to that effect. Another way to do the same thing is: (list (list 2.0 "test")) If you're using Audacity 1.3...

1) Generate 0.04 seconds of white noise
2) Press the "End" key to move the cursor to the end
3) Generate 20-30 seconds of silence
4) Press Ctrl+A (select all)
5) From the Effect menu select "Repeat" and enter the number 8, then press OK.

I can get an initial label just before the end of the first silence if I set minimum distance at less than the length of the first track. But then I may as well turn the control off because I will get one label per track anyway. Absolutely - and that's why I strongly feel that the default for minim...

both times i was rippin' was workinn with Windows 7, Apologies, I missed that bit from your second post. As you are using the same hardware now as you were when it was working, I don't see how it can be a hardware problem. It sounds very much that the problem is a setting in the Windows Control Pan...

i like the KISS principle :) it's not totally unlike a pop album with a starting "silence" then a number of equal length tracks divided by equal length silences. Counting backwards means the user won't export the first track on the album unless they "include audio before first label&q...

knowing that Lisp doesn't use commas for anything Actually, commas can be used in Nyquist in special situations, but more usually they are typo errors that mess up your program ;) So what does the 0.5 refer to? in the example (snd-const 0.5 0 44100 1), the 0.5 refers to the "value" (level...

Starting from the original track, select the chorus, plus a little bit extra at the beginning and end, then press Ctrl+D (duplicate) to make a copy of the chorus on a new track. Use the time shift tool and zoom in (Ctrl+Mouse Wheel, or use the magnifier buttons) and align the beats at the beginning ...
