Re: Error while opening sound device......

Try changing the recording and playback to "Microsoft Sound Mapper".
Restart Audacity so that the changes take effect.

To record "Stereo Mix" you need to set that as the recording source in the Realtek sound card control panel.

Well I've just amazed myself - knowing nothing about coding I had a play and hacked it around a bit.... Building from cvs (Audacity ® 1.3.8-alpha_Feb 16 2009), I Changed the TrackPanel.cpp to this: [attachment=]Temporarily removed while I test a minor change to it[/attachment] And in TrackPanel.h Af...

It's the same as you would use for connecting a full size cassette or CD player to the sound card, or connecting the output of the sound card to a domestic Hi-Fi amplifier.

Re: voice muffled when exporting to mp3

You probably have the MP3 format set to too low a bit rate. 128kbps is generally considered the lowest for good quality music - 160kbps or higher is better. I can't remember exactly where the setting for this is in Audacity 1.2 I think it is something like "Edit menu > Preferences > Export opti...

Re: Removing wow from recording of a warped LP

I'm going with you can't do it, certainly not automatically I'll go along with you on that koz. Have you thought about correcting the record? There used to be a lot of tricks like heating up the vinyl and parking it between four Encyclopedia Britannica volumes for a day or two. I've heard of such t...

Re: Multi Track Sync

Some things to try: 1) Make sure that the recording and playback are both done on the same audio device. If you use a different audio device for recording to the one used for playback, you can get this problem if they are not running at exactly the same speed. 2) Go to "Edit menu > Preferences ...

Re: NEWBIE - How to clean a mp3 recording...

Most likely there is no other option than re-recording. Extreme low bit rates throw away most of the audio data so as to reduce the file size and there is no way to retrieve that discarded data because it is not there.

Re: How do I import new audio at the end?

If I want to import a new audio file at about the end of the sound on the second track what do I do? Currently when I import, the new sound appears on a track at the very beginning of both tracks. I then manually have to move it. Yes, that's what you do. Unfortunately there is still no way to impor...

Re: Major noise when laptop is plugged in.

Thanks for the feedback.
It is often difficult to isolate where the interference is coming from. Glad that it was a simple and inexpensive solution for you.

Re: Need Some Really Good Headphones

Yes it should do very well. One of the regular forum contributors uses one and always reports glowing reviews of it. Note that to record sounds playing on your computer using an external sound card requires that you use a "loop-back connector". This is simply an audio lead that connects th...
