Audacity Forum

Have you ever ended your posts with "You're Welcome!" :) While I'm typing that I could perhaps have helped another user out of their frustration ;) Besides, the reason I spend too much time on the forum is purely selfish - it's my way of "paying" for all the free, open source so...

I believe that this aspect of Audacity has been thoroughly overhauled in the current development version (1.3.8 alpha). You may want to watch out for this issue when the next version of Audacity is released and post again.

Hi, I looked at your file. It could be a recording of a TV program on a dvr. It's a two channel ac3 224kbit/s. It's stereo but the two channels are almost identical, probably because the original TV program is mono. So you can leave it stereo or make it mono, it won't matter much. Thanks George, yo...

If you are disconnected from the internet while you are recording, and you are working on a virus free computer, and you are not connecting external drives, USB memory sticks, or inserting disks (completely blank CDs are OK) then it is quite safe to temporarily disable your anti-virus program.

Perhaps you should write to Ableton and ask if they can fix it for Audacity 1.3.7

hen following the link to the zip file for lame, the only option is an .exe file. If i try to save it as a zip it still doesn't work. If you run the EXE file, it will create a folder in the "Programs" directory (I think it's called "Lame for Audacity", or something like that). t...

Audacity can only record from one device at a time, so it is not possible to use 2 USB microphones simultaneously with Audacity (unless someone develops a a virtual device that can accept the input from two USB devices and present them to Audacity as one device... but I've never heard of such a thin...

What I wrote previously is correct. Audacity does not support video files, however, if you have ffmpeg installed and are using Audacity 1.3.7 (you have posted in the Audacity 1.2.x section of the forum), then, depending on which codecs are used in the AVI file and on how ffmpeg has been built, ffmpe...

That's something that you've not told us about. How do you have your equipment set up?
