You need to check the signal path. My guess is that Vista has decided to record the stereo mix rather than the actual input that you are using.

The hz signals I'm trying to figure out will be in the 30,000 to 60,000 hz range (lol) Those are not audio signals. "Audio" by definition refers to sound, and as anything above 20kHz is inaudible to humans... Signals in the 30-60kHz range require a sample rate greater than 120kHz. Does yo...

You need a text editor that has line numbering. Try Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm it also seems to not find the audio files when i now try to open the song (before the error in 5725) That does not sound good. Make WAV exports of each track as soon as possible so that you ...

I would have assumed that when using the code: (setq mysound (mult s 10)) (setq newsound (clip mysound 0.5)) that the variable "s" would have its sample values multiplied by 10, and then the resulting sound ("mysound") would be clipped (hard limited) to 0.5 However, that does not...

Here's a single line of code that should do the job:

Very strange. I've examined it and as far as I can tell it is a perfectly normal 16bit 44100Hz stereo WAV file. I've tried recording another track after importing this file and it works with no problem. When you say "it's with just the one WAV file" - have you tried with similar kinds of f...

Are you using the default Ubuntu build? It's known to be buggy. I gave up on it and built Audacity 1.3.7 from the source code, and it works far better. There is now a better solution. I've just updated Ubuntu to 9.04 and Audacity works great. In fact, I decided to be a bit ambitious and installed th...

Theres an option in "Preferences" (Ctrl + P) to adjust the preview time.
(sorry, I'm not on a computer with Audacity installed at the moment and I can't remember exactly where you will find the option, but it's somewhere in Preferences).

Update: It's on the Audio I/O tab

One way to find "invisible" files is to boot a Live Linux CD, then have a look. Knoppix is pretty good for that sort of thing - it may be invisible to Windows, but it will be visible to a NIX operating system.

Sorry I missed this one - been off-line due to a broadband fault :( Interesting to see the solution that you guys have come up with. An alternative method would have been to modify the low frequency wave by using a combination of multiplying, and addition / subtraction and the "clip" funct...
