Use one of the free file sharing services such as http://www.yousendit.com or http://www.sendspace.com/

Apply "Quick Mix" to the track before you Export it should work ("Mix and Render" in Audacity 1.3)

Do you mean that you have a recording of a song, and you want to add 4 clicks before the start of the song so that you can then play the song (including the 4 count in beats) and join in with the song as the song starts (immediately after the count in)? Do you know the tempo (beats per minute) of th...

No, I don't think it is supposed to do it. In the case of CD's guessing the frequencies up to 20kHz, that should be handled by the CD player working from "nearest 16 bit values" and using algorithms built into the player to calculate the probable frequencies. This is one of the main things...

can import be part of the chain? Is there a tutorial somewhere? You won't actually need to use "Import" in the chain as the chain (chain of commands) is applied to each of the files that you select one after the other. Chain commands can only be applied to one file at a time, so you would...

It appears that Audacity is applying dither to 16 bit files on import.

i cant seem to find any supporting documents that would enable me to print the filename of the sound file i am using. You will need to do that from user input as Audacity does not pass that information to Nyquist. ;nyquist plug-in ;version 2 ;type analyze ;name "A-test" ;action "test...

Laptop PCs audio inputs are usually rubbish, but I hear from everyone that on Macs they are really rather good (not sure if that justifies the price of a Mac though, but that's just me being tight). On a Mac, I would certainly try recording directly from tape out to line in and cut out the USB. Reco...
