Re: Will not show Audacity window on Win. XP

"Audacity 3.1.7" ? If you mean 1.3.7, then this is the first time the question has come of for this version (it was fairly frequent with some earlier versions). Search for the file "audacity.cfg" and delete it. Note that it is a "hidden" file, so you need to include hid...

Re: Unable to play back tracks while recording

I would agree that it "should" work, but even seasoned Linux audio professionals shudder when it comes to sound system problems (mostly thanks to the absence of manufacturers drivers). Any reason why you can not use the Edirol for playback? Any reason why you are still using (the ancient) ...

Re: Bug in ID3v2 tag?

ID3v2 is not really a "standard". As Captain Barbosa would put it "it's more like a guideline". Different applications have different interpretations of ID3v2 tags and there is a lot of variation. It is generally recommended to tweak the tags as necessary using whatever is your p...

Re: Records low 8hz sound

The sample is very useful. It does not show a sample rate of 8kHz, but it does show severe sound quality problems. In particular the frequency response is weighted very heavily towards the treble, with very little bass. Applying Equalization to compensate will make a vast improvement, but does not g...

Re: No audio/playback (imported music)

I minimised it to do some other things, You should not really be doing "other things" on the computer while running audio processing (or video editing) applications. Working with audio / video can be very demanding on computer resources so, to avoid strange problems, it is best to close a...

Re: Sound Source

There are significant advantages to using Direct Sound rather than MME, but different users are likely to get different mileage from that option. If you have trouble with Direct Sound, then yes you can fall back to MME, but if Direct Sound works correctly with your hardware, then you should probably...

Re: Splitting .wav files

Select half of the track, then "Export Selected" (File menu), then select the other half and "Export Selected" again. If you want more individual tracks on the CD (like on commercial CDs) you may want to use "Export Multiple". (see here http://audacityteam.org/wiki/inde...

Re: Audacity and JACK : I need some terms defined.
