It's usually called a "glitch". When you select the audio that you want to repeat, zoom in very close on the left and right ends of selection. Ideally you want to make a selection that starts and ends with the volume level at zero. If there is a sudden jump in the waveform when the first s...

Since I'm in Europe, I've not tried buying anything from Thomann as a US resident. The shipping rate is 30 Euro for the entire order (up to 31 kilo) - this is a lot higher than shipping to the UK so it will be a consideration when deciding whether to buy from them or not. If you are buying enough st...

In Audacity 1.2 the Export format is in the Audacity Preferences (Edit menu > Preferences). Audacity 1.3 is now widely recommended as it is much more up to date and superior in many ways to the old 1.2 version.

You'll be pleased to know that the patch has been added to cvs so it is now available when you build the 1.3.8alpha version. (Audacity 1.3.8 has a couple of other tasty new features also).

I use a Behringer UCA 202 which does a nice job at a rock bottom price.
Waxcylinder (a regular forum contributor) uses an Edirol UA-1EX which is a bit more money, but higher spec and a couple of extra features.

Made a slight change so that the undo history works correctly. The patch file is attached. This has been tested on Audacity 1.3.8 alpha but I think it will work on 1.3.7 (release) as well. (I'm testing that now) For any other users that may want to try this patch: To use the patch file, unzip it int...
