Re: Recorded sound are pitched up

You mean that when you record something, then play it back, the pitch is higher?
How much higher? Just a little, or considerably higher?
Does it also play faster?

Re: Recording in one channel

Hi, same problem. As a workaround splitting the channel might be ok, but normally one should be able to select if Audacity records "stereo", "mono (left channel)" or "mono (right channel)" if one has a stereo input. The manual splitting has to be done over and over aga...

Re: Import Tracks/ Clear HD Sounding

If you select a track then use "Export Selected", it will export just the selected track. Repeat for each track (as WAV files) and the tracks are still available (unmixed) for future editing.

Re: Retrieving an unsaved file

"Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 393." You need to see what is on line 393 of the .AUP file. Unfortunately, Notepad does not show line numbers, so you can either open the AUP file (safer to open a copy of the AUP file) in Notepad, switch off Word Wrap, and start counting, o...

Re: Encoding Help!

Why do you want to save the file as 8,000 KHz Mono 8 bit? The sound quality will be rubbish.

Upgrade to Audacity 1.3.9 - it has a grid (can also be switched off).

Re: Unable to import audio from iTunes

Audacity does it twice, once going in and then once again on the way out. Not strictly accurate - Audacity does not damage the sound on the way in, but if the file that is being opened/imported is in a lossy format (such as MP3 or AAC) then the sound has already been "damaged". Exporting ...

Not much - you can try the Equalizer effect (use Audacity 1.3 rather than 1.2 - the Equalizer is much improved in 1.3, as is just about everything else).

Re: source volume control problem

The slider is a "convenience" feature for many users, but does not work with all hardware/operating systems. Basically, it is just sending messages to your sound card driver, asking it to adjust its levels according to your input. Windows Vista usually ignores this entirely. On XP it depen...

Re: Convert time series data to sound

You could generate the sound relatively easily using Audacity's built in "Nyquist" language. http://audacityteam.org/help/nyquist To read the file: (setq fp (open "test.dat" :direction :input)) (read fp) where "test.dat" is the file containing the data). To generate the...
