Re: Is exporting WAV files lossless?

Exporting in WAV format is virtually lossless in all situations. As Koz has said, there is a very small amount of change to the audio data with some types of WAV export, depending on the settings in Audacity Preferences. We don't usually bother to go into the detail because the difference is so smal...

Re: Diabolical recording quality

I record Internet radio taking a line out to a 'multicompo super woofer system' The best way, if supported, is to record from "Stereo Mix". Have you checked to see if this option is available? (see here for tips: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Pan...

Use the internal (AC'97) sound card and set the sound card to use "Stereo Mix" as the recording input.

Re: need help with equipment connections

That should have worked I agree that it should be possible to get this working, but it's a bit like when people are trying to record shows that they are streaming to the internet - it can be fraught with problems. We have no idea if the karaoke software is messing with the sound stream routing (as ...

Re: How to Download & Make the LAME program work

I'm not sure what the difference is (trying to find out), but if the .exe version does not work, the .zip version appears to fix the problem.

Re: importing and editing a podcast on the web

That was weird - I was just moving the topic to the 1.3 forum and someone (waxcylinder?) moved it at exactly the same time :shock:

Definitely worth upgrading to Audacity 1.3.11 - it has some important bug fixes.

Re: Diabolical recording quality

What sort of radio? A real "wireless" (AM/FM) radio or Internet radio? If it's a real radio - how do you have it connected to your computer? (AUX out on the radio to Line In on the computer? Headphone out to Mic in? ...) I'm using Windows 7 Were you using that to make successful recordings...

Re: REED THIS IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER CD PLAYER

$2.99 for one disk ! You've got to be kidding. By the time you've bought 50 disks you could have replaced your old worn out CD player with a pretty decent brand new one. While it is true that good quality branded CDs will often be more reliable, and it is true that some CD players "prefer"...

Re: Save Project As... dialog box

I'm pretty sure that's a Windows thing (I'm a Linux user).
Is there an option in the Windows "Start" menu for clearing the recent files history? (like there is in Win XP)
(it appears the answer is yes http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/08/2 ... ows-vista/ )
