Re: "Can't load module X" after 1.3.8 install

I've not got Windows or VST's so I can't test this - is there any way to tell Audacity to disable VST support before it starts scanning?

Re: Audigy Platinum Sound card with phantom powered micropho

It's not very clear, and Creative could so easily have said "the jumper provides 5v for computer microphones" if indeed that is what it does. The fact that it mentions 3.5mm jacks for "condenser" microphones suggests that this is indeed what it does. An easy way to tell is to get...

That wouldn't happen to be the same temp folder that Audacity uses as ITS temp folder would it?

Re: Disappearing .aup files!

Not only are the .aup files disappearing, exported wavs are disappearing too. Where are they disappearing from? What location are you saving the projects to and what location are you exporting the WAV files to? I'll open Audacity the next day only to discover that my .aup files are gone. How is it ...

Re: Audigy Platinum Sound card with phantom powered micropho

But nobody I know has ever accused a PC sound card of high quality audio at least not your average consumer grade sound cards - but the Audigy Platinum cards are way ahead of the average PC sound card (as reflected in the original price tag) and some versions have all of the high gain analogue part...

Re: Importing an M4A file into Audacity

Convert the file to WAV format using faad2. You can then import the WAV file into Audacity.

Re: Panning left to right

@ Dreggs The "LFO panning" plug-in is probably what you want: http://audacityteam.org/download/nyquistplugins There are also a couple of other panning effects on that page that you may want to try such as "panlfo2a.ny " @ zzzZZZ It is generally better to respond in open forum so ...

Re: .05 second add-ons for MP3

Why is there a .05 second gap at the beginning and the end of every mp3 file I make with Audacity...and how can I stop this from happening? You can't stop it from happening - it is a limitation of the MP3 format. They always have a short silence at the beginning, though the length may vary. Ogg, Fl...

Re: Spliting tracks

Audacity 1.3.x has many improvements for visually impaired users, so I would strongly recommend upgrading. There is some information in the Audacity wiki specifically for blind users that you will probably find useful: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=AudacityForBlindUsers If you use Jaw...
