Re: No audio

(Somehow, I can actually record at sample rates other than 48000 Hz, I've no idea why or how, but I'm not complaining.) You can record at other than 48000Hz on a 48000Hz device because audacity resamples the incoming data on the fly, as it does for playback at unsupported rates. This does of course...

Re: Burning Audio to CD in Real Time

You will also find that there is no such thing as a stand-alone CD burner, probably thanks to the eternal vigilance of the RIAA How about the Sony RCD-W500C ? It seems that you can do real time recording of CD's on that. Again you need to "Finalize" the disk after recording is complete be...

Re: can't hear first second of some tracks

From the description so far, it sounds like the audio is actually present in the file (you should be able to see the waveform in Audacity), but you just don't have sound coming out (your sound card is not playing it - it's not "switching on the audio output" until a couple of seconds after...

Re: Burning Audio to CD in Real Time

I think that you will need to use a hardware CD recorder to be able to do that. You certainly can't do it with Audacity - Audacity does not burn CD's.

Re: Subsequent tracks get recorded at a different pitch

The sample rate is the number of samples per second that the digital audio format uses (see Wikipedia for a better explanation). CD audio uses 44100 samples per second (for each audio channel). If you want to burn a CD, you should Export as "16bit 44100Hz Microsoft (PCM) WAV" to ensure com...

I'm getting similar (but different) fatal compile errors on Ubuntu 8.10 when compiling from the 1.3.6 source Tarball. During the compile there was an error: *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact ...

Re: Export with ffmpeg lib for AAC and Lame for MP3

Q1) See here: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic ... 45&p=33004

Q2) This is a known bug in Audacity 1.3.6 - the developers are working on it. In the mean time the workaround is to Export as WAV or Aiff and use an external encoder (such as iTunes).

Re: Subsequent tracks get recorded at a different pitch

it's a brand new pc, so it's not fragmented Have you checked? Just because it is new does not mean that data on the drive is not fragmented. A fresh Windows installation leaves data fragments all over the place. but the recorded track kept on running faster and in a higher pitch. That may be a diff...
