Audacity Forum

My suspicion is that you need to change some settings in the Windows Mixer (see waxcylinder's second link). When you have selected "Stereo Mix" as the recording source, all unused inputs (microphone, CD, Aux, Line in, ...) should be muted otherwise they will add noise to the recording. &qu...

I'm not able to tell what has gone wrong with your project, but this article explains how Audacity handles the data files, so you may be able to work out what has happened: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=File_Management_Tips It may alsobe worth noting that Audacity 1.3.x has got much i...

The MP3's should still play OK, but they may not be able to see all of the Metatag data in their player. You can install both Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x on the same machine. The provisos: Audacity 1.3.x can open projects made in 1.2.x but Audacity 1.2.x can not open Audacity 1.3.x projects. You can no...

So you are recording from a "Line out" or a "direct out" from the amp? (rather than using a microphone to record the sound that comes out of the amp). A very common issue with practice amps is that they massively exaggerate low(ish) frequencies. This is because they only have sma...

From the Edit menu, go into Preferences and look in the "Quality" tab. If it is the same as in Audacity 1.3.x you should see options for "Real time" and "High Quality" Conversion. The "Real time" settings should be set to "Fast" and "dither"...

Try using Audacity 1.3.6
On Vista this version may well be more stable than the old 1.2.x version.

sorry but that doesn't seem like a valid reason to completely remove this functionality. It was temporarily removed. Theme support is gradually being added again in Audacity and is available in v. 1.3.6 Although Audacity 1.3.x has been around for a while now and is pretty stable, it is still classe...

so if they didn't do a multi-track recording on the CD, then i can't do it over? If you only have the stereo track of all the voices mixed together, then "extracting" one voice from the mix is like trying to separate the banana from a banana and pineapple milkshake. You may be able to ach...

"audacity has encountered a problem and needs to close" That is a generic Windows error message - it means "oops, something is wrong!" Although Microsoft are firmly placing the blame on the application that has crashed, it is not necessarily the fault of that application - it co...

Always happy to help ;) I've been interested in sound and music for as long as I can remember - playing around with tape recorders and microphones as a young child. I've been doing live sound reinforcement (sound engineer) semi-professionally for many years and I'm a musician (guess what instrument ...
