Re: LOST PROJECT!!!!

i accidentally deleted a project i was working on and saved the replacement (no temporary file). i then opened the backup, copied and pasted it into a new project and saved it as an aup. I'm unsure why you needed to copy and paste - Just opening the backup aup and saving it with a new name should h...

Re: A newb question about loudness

If the primary use case for your application involves sound coming out the speaker, you should EQ your streams to cut everything below 150Hz (brickwall HP filter), and attenuate everything below 400Hz by 6-9dB. Upgrade to Audacity 1.3 Use the "Highpass filter" and set it to 48dB per octav...

Re: Playback sound woes

RealTek provide base drivers for their sound chip, but for some reason, every computer manufacturer seems to be compelled to customise the drivers. The RealTek hardware should be capable of recording in mono or stereo, but it sounds like the driver is broken when it comes to recording mono. Updating...

Re: Voice discrimination function or method?

The original question sound like it is asking about "speaker recognition" I'm wondering whether you might know of a tool or method (other than my hearing) to discriminate voices in a recording? Accurate speaker recognition is an extremely complex task. I know of no tools in Audacity for th...

Re: Cannot get equal Left and Right input levels

I'm very happy with the UCA 202. As you say, it is very cheap, works well with Audacity and the sound quality is pretty good (massively better than most PC laptops on-board sound). One limitation with (all?) USB sound cards is that they do not support "Stereo Mix". That is, you cannot dire...

Can you give us some version numbers (Audacity, Lame and Windows) and the web address that you downloaded lame from.

Your post reminded me of those expert swiss watchmakers who laughed at the idea of being made obsolete by digital clocks, until it happened But you will not find a digital Rolex.

Re: Audacity randomly stops recording after a few seconds

"software playthrough" should normally not be selected. (it is "off" by default).

"cvs" is up and running again.

Re: Cannot get equal Left and Right input levels

If this was the case why does the slider show up in alsamixer? I've no idea. I use a Behringer UCA 202 USB sound card and there is no recording level slider for it in ALSA mixer. I have also used various USB sound cards in Windows XP and the recording level slider in the control panel has always be...

Re: Help with LAME MP3 Encoder Install

but this time it worked first time. Brilliant. Good stuff :) I have not checked yet, but is there an easier way to ID the individual tracks rather than typing everything in thirteen times? If you are using "Export Multiple", Open up the Metatag editor (File menu) before you Export and ent...
