Basically, I'm trying to grab some audio that is playing on my Pinnacle movie editing software and use it as an intro to a podcast that I've already recorded Can you not "Export" the audio from the Pinnacle software and "Import" it into Audacity? If you can do that the sound qua...

Sorry, this is not clear. Do you have the MP3 and want to edit it, or is the MP3 on the Internet, or do you want to record "live" sounds with a microphone?

Use the "Generate menu" to create one track with a "Tone", one with a "Chirp" and one with "Noise", then press Play.

My phone is a Motorola W385, I looked in the manual and did not see a thing about what speed or what size it need to be is the a way to find out , Oh dear, that is just so helpful (not).

Like that? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/illu ... nFront.jpg That's exactly what I want to do but can't. A minimise button would be one way to do it, then Spectrum Plot would become a separate icon in Task Switcher. I think that's what Mixer Bar did before we changed it, but that behaviour has...
