Re: Not all features will install

I cannot get any of the Features, Analyze, and a few Generate menu items to highlight and work. Do I need to pay for these features? No payment required (Donations accepted), it is open source and it is free. What version of Audacity do you have, and where did you get it from? You should be using A...

Re: Trying to Record Drums, not sounding too good, any ideas

I downloaded the fast lookahead limiter to help record my drums via my laptop, but am still having trouble with 0 db "fuzzy" recording issues. I figured it was a utility that you turn on before you push record. Any ideas? The Fast Lookahead Limiter is a post-recording effect (as with all ...

Re: wiki link

The forum does seem to have been slow today, and I have had a couple of "Database Errors", but it seems much better this evening. I suspect it was to do with the server rather than the forum software update.

(Would still be good to get that wiki link back in the header as soon as possible).

Re: USB Driver not installing

OK, I've done a quick "Google". "AK5371" sounds like it should either be a sound card or a Russian semi-automatic weapon, but in fact it is an AD chip with USB and stereo microphone inputs. Your turntable may easily be seeing the turntable as that (usually they have names like &q...

Re: Clipfix (see waveform pic) - plugins available?

scar, I've kind of lost track with this thread, so can we recap? You are wanting to run ClipFix over large files, using a high spec computer? Having now spent some time going through the code, I don't think that it is going to happen. "Bit-wise" processing in Nyquist will always be slow an...

Re: Antares Autotune

Unfortunately Autotune is not very usable in Audacity. It relies heavily on the VST graphical interface which Audacity is legally prevented from using due to licensing restrictions (it's not just Audacity but applies to any open source projects - I guess Steinberg are not fans of open source softwar...

Re: Audacity loses audio!

I can't comment on that particular instance (I wasn't there, it wasn't me ;) ) but a quick tip if you want the same track twice - select the track and press Ctrl+D (this makes a Duplicate copy of the selected audio). In the link that I posted, it tells you how to set "safer" options - I wo...

Re: Preferences????

That will happen if there are no recording devices available. Go into the Windows control panel and make sure that there is an available recording device. See here for details: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... ng_devices
