Re: Can Audacity Record VoIP Conversations, or not?

Some people have a deal from Creative that says "What U Hear" but mine is just "Realtek HD Audio Input". So set the recording device for track 2 to "What U Hear" types of input. You may have to go inside your Windows System Mixer and enable or disable "Stereo Mix&...

Re: Subliminal Messages

Re: Copy/paste partially muted

Sorry, I'm still not clear; "The source" is the original clip from which I make copy; Is that a "clip" in the same Audacity project? Are you cutting sections from one track and pasting them into a new track? Where do the original speech recordings come from? Have you recorded the...

Re: using Audacity as a simple sound meter

in decibels That's a tricky bit. Unlike cm or litres, dB are not an absolute measurement - they describe a ratio of loudness against some reference point. The meters in Audacity are referenced against "full scale" - that is, a range of +1.0 to -1.0 (these values are shown on the vertical ...

Re: Why can't I record in stereo with my USB turntable ?

I think it is more likely to be a fault - either with the turntable, leads, connections, or computer.
As you are using a Mac, it would usually be better to post questions on the Mac part of the forum rather than the Windows part of the forum.

Re: Yes, exporting mp3, but what about importing mp3??

Some Linux distros are very cautious about mp3 support. You will probably find an MP3 enabled version in their "restricted" repository. ("restricted" in the sense that it may contain code that is not entirely open source - there are some licensing issue regarding MP3 that some be...
