Re: Export drops last sample

I have reported the issue to the developers, and that your e-mail bounced.

I'm still curious why this missing sample is a problem.

Re: Record several different songs at seperate times n blend

Open Audacity Record song 1 > Export as a WAV file Restart Audacity Record song 2 > Export as a WAV file .... (repeat for all the songs that you want to use) Restarting Audacity is not actually necessary each time, but doing so clears out Audacity's temporary files and so frees up disk space (and RA...

Right click on the download link and choose "Save As..." Alternatively, just click on the link, let the new page load (lots of computer text stuff) then save the page in plain text format. The downloaded file (whichever way you download it) must be saved with the file extension ".ny&q...

Re: Inport time not long enough

There is no maximum size for an imported file (provided that you have sufficient disk space on your C: drive).
Perhaps your drive is full, or the MP3 is damaged, or it is not an MP3.

Re: Cannot get equal Left and Right input levels

If I start Audacity and select OSS:/dev/sound/dsp1 as the record device it will record equally but the levels are incredibly low. Now if I then open alsamixer with $alsamixer -c1 to open the controls for card 1 (the usb one) and adjust the line-in control the levels immediately increase but this is...

Re: Audacity 1.3.7: Sound stuttering after long recording

Besides that I think the effect of fragmentation is often overrated. For many applications, yes it is, but for audio (or video) it can make quite a difference.
