Re: New checkout fails to build

I wasn't aware that CVS was still being used - the developers have switched over to SVN, so I'm not sure how maintained CVS is now.

Re: CD Burning problems

if it worked once and fails now then something has changed !! Or he's doing something a bit different, but after "6 months layoff" it won't be easy to track down exactly what's different - my guess is that for whatever reason, he's not exporting "16 bit 44100 Hz WAV" files. If D...

Re: CD Burning problems

Easiest thing is to upgrade to Audacity 1.3.11 - this has an option in the "File > Export" menu to export as 16 bit WAV (required for audio CDs). Also, check the "Project Rate" box in the lower left corner of the main Audacity screen - ensure that it is on 44100 before you export.

Budget it likely to be the killer. Here's some options:

Boss BR-1600
yamaha aw1600
Tascam 788
Fostex MR8-HD

(these are just Googled so you will need to check specifications)

Re: transfering middle section of song

Effect > Amplify and take everything down 10dB before you start production. Alternatively, use the volume sliders at the left side of the tracks to bring the volume of each track down. This method is arguably better as you can adjust them as you go to get the desired balance - this is just about th...

Re: Effects Grayed Out (cannot click)... Help!

You need to have some audio selected (click and drag on a track, or press Ctrl+A to select all)
Audacity must be "Stopped". Effects are not available when playing, recording, or if it is on "Pause".

Re: Changing MP3 Bitrate when Exporting

It's now been moved somewhere so obvious that you missed it ;)
When you get to the Export screen, look for an "Options" button (and click it).
