Re: Synth plugins?

1) Upgrade to Audacity 1.3.9 (or whatever the latest release is). Try "Generate > Chirp" 2) Try the "Vocoder" effect. I'm not sure if there are any instructions for this, but you need to make a stereo track with audio to be processed in one channel and the modulation wave in the ...

Re: Audacity will record iTunes, but nothing else

Without the "loopback connector" (standard auxiliary cable), check that the output and input are both working correctly. Then attach the cable and adjust the levels.

Re: Cannot Record Speaker Output - Windows 7, On-board sound

I right-clicked to "Show Disabled Devices" and no new devices show up, it's the same three as listed above. Unfortunately, that means that your audio hardware does not support "Stereo Mix". There are some workarounds: 1) Try updating the sound card drivers - this may (or may not...

Re: External Interface compatibility

On my desktop I have a folder called Audacity Projects, and it has sub-folders for each different project - these sub-folders contain all of the stuff generated for that project. My hope was to simply duplicate the folder onto optical disc be that CD or DVD or whatever works.....that would serve as...

Re: Set to Stereo, but playing back in mono (will only pan l

To reiterate Koz's post with a picture: It is worth checking that the computer input is working correctly. To do this you will need a lead like this: 3.5mm_mini_jack_to_2rca_lead.jpg This must be a "known to work and no doubt about that" lead. Plug that into the Line-In of the Mac and ensu...

Re: Unable to Export Large File

Yes there are problems with really big audio files - it's not an Audacity problem, it's a more general issue. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Limitations I would recommend Exporting the audio in smaller chunks - say 1 GB (or 700 MB, then you can make audio CDs from each chunk). You can us...

Re: In what folder is typically stored settings Audacity?

Audacity 1.2.x on Windows stores its settings in the Windows registry.
Audacity on other operating systems, and Audacity 1.3.x on Windows store their settings in a file called "audacity.cfg". The default location of that file depends on the operating system.
