Re: Problems with VST plugins

Audacity does not support VSTi's. Support for VST effects is currently being developed, but instruments are not.

Re: Vocals Sound "Weak"

To thicken up the vocals you could add a bit of delay (duplicate the vocal track, drop the level a bit and shove it to the right by about 40 milliseconds). You could also add a bit of reverb - If you add reverb to the delayed track and not the original, you will still get the reverb effect but will ...

steve: looking forward to that agc notwithstanding koz'es pessimism... ;) Koz isn't the only one to not like AGC. My personal view of AGC is that it is an abomination, it is the curse of the dark side of technology, a malign invention to taunt sound technicians and torture music lovers. (I could go...

I've not seen or heard of this problem before, but the first thing that I would try is updating to Audacity 1.3.8

Re: New to Audacity - will only record first 5 seconds of so

Is there a setting in Audacity that tells it to only record a "sample" No, there is no such setting in Audacity. Audacity should keep recording until you tell it to stop. To be clear, you are saying that Audacity continues recording (the cursor continues moving) but the recorded level fad...

Re: 1.3.8 on Vista home premium

I liked the hierarchical effects structure that was in 1.3.6, which I unfortunately uninstalled and deleted, and it looked like this might be back in 1.3.8. The developers were toying with making this a settable interface option in Preferences (following compllaints from several users when the hier...

Re: aup format

Failing to do this burns lots of newbie (and not so newbie) users of Audacity when they import a clip and then move or delete the original source (often by removing a CD) - this then leaves a big hole in your project. Recent 1.3.x versions will warn you about this when you Save the project. I don't...
