Re: Sound Card Reviews

I found a significant hole in my recommendations -- sound card related. I have six line-level perfect, clear mono feeds and I want to get all six into Audacity at the same time. No mixing. All three platforms. How? Koz I do that the easy way - I record on an 8 channel Yamaha hard disk recorder, the...

Re: Simultaneous Recording Capability?

Are ports 3 and 4 real inputs, or are they virtual ports?

Moderator, (though I have one very small patch included in the source code). Mostly just an enthusiastic user.

Re: Reducing bass for Half Life DJ

This is a forum run for and by Audacity users. Audacity is free software and it is unrealistic to expect someone to be waiting on-line 24 hours a day for you to post your question. The answer to your question is to use the Equalizer effect from the Effects menu. For more information about using the ...

Re: mp3 reconversion - quality degradation?

To break up an existing MP3 into chunks, there are better and simpler tools availble to just cut the MP3 as it is without any decoding/recoding - a quick google of t'interweb should help you find one (probably free). I use "MP3split" for this (free and cross-platform) http://mp3splt.sourc...

Re: Simultaneous Recording Capability?

I purchased a TonePort UX1 myself, and having the same issue. Is there a way at all to get it to read 3 - 4? I don't have a TonePort to try, but it is common on multi-channel devices to select a "multi" driver as the record device in "Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O" which t...

Re: Compiling 1.3.7 on Fedora 8 Fails During Configuration

I'm not an expert in this sort of thing, but I am one of the few Linux users to regularly visit this forum. I think that error is to do with Audacity not being able to access your computer sound system. Does your system use PulseAudio? There is a very similar issue that occurs on fedora 8 with "...

Re: Speeded up play-back in exported MP3s

With Audacity 1.3.7 the only version to use is the "Lame for Audacity" version available from here: http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/ The file that you need to download is "Lame_v3.98.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exe" Do you have that? When you run that file it creates a folder in the Prog...

Re: Anyway to disable AU support for audacity?

I would try what stevethefiddle above said but I don't have a clue on how to compile it. I don't have a Mac, so I don't know how easy or difficult it is to compile on a Mac - on Windows it's a pain, on Linux it's pretty straightforward, on Mac I don't know. There is a page on the Audacity wiki abou...

Re: No option to export as .wav

Wow, I've never seen that before. :shock: Have a go with Audacity 1.3.7 and see if it is fixed there. (Ignore the stuff on the website about Audacity 1.3 being the experimental version - it is probably more stable than the 1.2 version these days and is just a couple of steps away from the release of...
