Re: Need help recording stereo music

Home recorded CD's are on CDR disks, which are not exactly the same as commercial "pressed" CDs. But that is not relevant if you are not playing a CD. I plug in the output from my ipod into the input of my car stereo. And no matter whether I record in stereo or not, the audio I hear throug...

Re: Pause in playing after track

Try ripping tracks one and two (C-Dex is a good, free CD ripper), then open the ripped tracks in Audacity. That will probably give you a good clue as to where the problem is.

Re: I cant find "What you hear" option

Someone over on the Finale forum told me that the "What you hear" option actually pertains to a specific soundcard manufacturer: Creative. Ceative (SoundBlaster) use the term "What U Hear". Most other manufacturers call the same feature "Stereo Mix". It is sometimes al...

If you use the Equalizer effect in Audacity, then the boost that you set for any specific frequency band is the boost that you get (just tested it out...
