and what is the best way for me to share my tracks with you? We don't need the whole song, just a few seconds of a representative portion is usually enough, but it needs to be in a high quality format, so WAV, FLAC or a "Extreme" high quality MP3 (320kbps) or Ogg at the highest quality se...

You are listening through headphones? Where are they plugged in? If they are plugged into the computer sound card then you need to set the computer sound card as the playback device in "Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O".

i remember old (analog of course) recorders where recording volume could be set automatically for best results... i suppose there is no such thing in audacity? There is an experimental new feature that is currently being developed to do this. It works slightly differently to the "Automatic Gai...

That's the down side of low prices and such slim profit margins - there's no money for customer service. I would definitely try getting them to change the ...

It shouldn't be a problem. Can you give me some version numbers? Audacity and FFMpeg.

Do you know if it would have worked on windows 98 though? as that is what I have been using ever since I got a computer Win98 ! You remember I mentioned "obsolete software"? Windows 98 has been officially obsolete for over three years. I know that Audacity 1.2.6 and Audacity 1.3.7 still s...
