Re: Exporting as MP3 or WAV

you can (and probably should) reset your Audacity preferences so the metadata editor dialog is suppressed on export. I can't tell you exactly how to find as I am doing a Timed Recording at the moment so the Preferences dialogs are not available to me. Edit menu > Preferences > Import/Export > "...

Re: Randomly stops recording

<<<Does you computer have a conventional (non USB) sound card?>>> Several, plus the built-in. OK - I missed that bit.c :oops: I would start by disabling the on-board sound card (in BIOS, or better - on the mother board if there is a "shunt" link for doing so). Then I'd see if I could fix ...

Re: Create master for vinyl

You will need to compress your mix. The noise floor on vinyl is significantly higher than on a CD, so you'll need to bring the quiet passages up somewhat. While it is true that CD has a greater dynamic range than vinyl, this fact does not make a compelling reason for applying dynamic compression to...

Re: a minor irritation

Audacity 1.2.3 is obsolete. Try upgrading to Audacity 1.3.8 which you can download here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ Audacity is free (GPL version 2 license - which guarantees that it always remains free). If your sound card is bundled with an obsolete version of Audacity, then you may very we...

Re: Dynamic Rumble Filter

Here's an example of standard HP filter which can be used for to filter those rumble/subsonic frequencies. Cool - but that's just a HP filter isn't it? Can you make it dynamic? BTW, if you want a steeper slope than 48dB per octave, then with the standard Audacity HP filter, you can simply use the t...

Re: USB connection has problems

Make sure that you are using the ALSA drivers and not the old OSS drivers. If that does not fix it then unless you fancy doing some fairly major manual updating to quite a lot of bits of your system it may be best to stick with XP until you upgrade to Jaunty (or later).
