The easiest way is to apply a short "fade out" to the end of the first bit, and a short "fade in" at the beginning of the next bit. For really professional results, use the "Time shift" tool to move the second track so that it overlaps the first track for the duration o...

The file is a compressed "ADPCM WAV" file rather than a regular "PCM WAV" file. You should be able to import it into Audacity if you use the latest 1.3 beta version, but you will probably also need to have FFMPEG correctly installed. See Here: http://www.audacityteam.org/manual/i...

When you connect a USB device to a Windows computer, Windows will automatically select it for both recording and playback. However, you do not want that. You want the USB turntable for recording, but you want your RealTek sound card for playback. Go into "Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O&quo...

Set Audacity to use "ALSA default", then in your computer volume control (I don't know what "volume contro/mixer Mepis uses, but I presume that it is a GUI for AlsaMixer) select the microphone as the recording source. If you cannot see an option for selecting the microphone as the rec...

MyReallyGreatMusic-monday.wav The other common convention is to use the underscore: my_really_great_music-monday.mp3 This format is probably better if you are posting on the internet as it avoids problems that can arise f...
