Audacity Forum

The problem is that the cell-phone people want you to spend money, so they deliberately miss out important details from the manual to "encourage" you to spend. Your best bet is to look for user forums for your type of cell-phone and find out if anyone else has managed to get it to work. Th...

The clip that I sampled the hiss from was one audio file from many that make up a concert. None of the other audio files have the "pure hiss" needed to Noise Profile and remove. Is there a way I can apply this "profiled hiss" from this file to denoise the other files. The easies...

Try using a different sample rate (Edit > Preferences > Quality). Some sound cards will play up with some sample rates - the recommended sample rates are 44100Hz and 48000Hz - try both.

Have tried all settings options but cannot hear anything through inbuilt speakers on PC.... Level meters on Audacity show varying input level activity from USB turntable and output also when playing vinyl, so must have seleceted right settings options on I/O choices. You have set the input (recordi...

And through all that, what you get at the end is a patched sound track, not the clear one you would have by fixing your machine. Koz Yes you are absolutely right Koz, it's much better to avoid clipping in the first place than to try and repair it after the damage has been done. The same can be said...

To get a normal audio file that you can burn to CD, use the "Export" function and export it as a "16 bit 44.1kHz stereo WAV" file.

There are some tutorials here which explain most of the basics: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tutorials
