Re: Skip in Audacity 1.39 in Ubuntu 9.10

To make an audio CD you should export WAV files not MP3s. See here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... o_burn_CDs
Ubuntu uses Brasero as the default CD burning software - select "Audio Project" when using Brasero.

Re: Noise with USB turntable

If you are playing vinyl very loudly it can make the record vibrate and cause feedback.
Do you have the same problems when using the turntable on its own without Audacity running?

Re: Stereo Recording

I presume that this is a mono microphone and that is why you are only getting a single (mono) channel. The Fast track pro handles channels in a good way for recording - each channel is independent of the other. This means that you can record from 2 microphones (or other mono sources) and each input ...

Re: ERROR: Could not find sinewave.raw in rawwaves

The Audacity team do not make a SPEC file but there is a load of stuff here: https://launchpad.net/audacity If you have a couple of GB of spare disk space, how about setting up a virtual machine for testing? There's an iso image for Ubuntu that has been optimised for VirtualBox. This would keep all ...

Re: ERROR: Could not find sinewave.raw in rawwaves

Glad you've got something working at least.

If you get Audacity working on x64, either by building from source or any other method, do let us know. (There's a shortage of experienced Linux users frequenting this forum so any tips to getting it working on x64 could be very useful to others).

Re: Tempo adjustment for a sample

Can you adjust it so that it is close (just a little too long) then cut a few bits out to make the length correct?

Re: windows 7...audacity installed but sound is wrong

The problem is probably the laptop. Many PC laptop computers have only a microphone input and no "line" input. Microphone inputs are about 1000x to sensitive for a line level signal (such as the output from a mixer). Also, the microphone input is often mono and has a 5 volt supply on one o...

Re: One intrument too quiet, everything else great

I think the problem is that the left and right channels are "out of phase". This is easy to test: With your recording in Audacity: 1) Click on the track name and from the drop down menu select "Split Stereo Track" 2) Select ONE track (either track will do) and from the Effects me...

Re: No PlayBack

You can get rewritable CDs. They are called "CD-RW". CD-RW are not always supported by CD players even if the player can play CD-Rs. The manual/specification on CD and DVD players will usually say what types of disks are supported - otherwise it's a case of trying one and see if it works. ...
