Click on Export from the file menu. Click on OK in the metadata window (if it opens). When you get to the Export dialogue screen (where you select the name and destination) select the required Export format. To Export as MP3 you need to have Lame installed. The standard 16 bit WAV format does not re...

What is says to me is this. If the Quality Preferences are set to 32-bit float and you import a 16-bit or 24-bit PCM file then Audacity will convert it internally to 32-bit float, do all it's processing at 32-bit float, then convert to 16-bit PCM on Export. If the Quality Preferences are set to 24-...

This sounds like a sound card setting. I'm guessing that your computer has an "on-board" sound card and there is a hidden setting in the sound card control panel that is adjusting the recording volume according to the input level. This is sometimes called "Automatic Gain Control"...

It looks like Audacity can not recognise any input devices (the ones that it can see have no sample rates listed). Try upgrading to Audacity 1.3.9 and if you get the same problem (after thorough testing), try writing to the feedback address in the "Suggestions, Bug Reports and Feature Requests&...

16 bit will provide enough dynamic range for just about any audio recording (if you have your amp turned up loud enough to hear the the bottom few bits, then the top few bits will rattle your windows and set off car alarms in the street), but that is assuming that everything else is perfect. When re...

Unfortunately Risset Drum is under the Generate menu, so the Repeat function doesn't repeat Risset Drum Yes it does - but I understand the confusion - you are talking about "Repeat Last Effect", and I am talking about "Repeat..." (after "Phaser" and before "Revers...
