So the waveform is a compilation of the waves that represent the individual sound sources (so far as Audacity can tell), and not just one big mess in and of itself? No not really - the sound is one big mash up of all the sounds - that's why it is difficult to isolate a single sound. What you can do...

If you mean that you have recorded 2 CD's and when they are playing at the same time they are out of sync with each other, then you will only be able to correct it if you have recorded one CD onto one track, and the other CD onto a different track. If both CD's are recorded (mixed) onto the same tra...

You're out of luck with that track. It is almost mono - all of the instruments are panned centre, and it is only a bit of reverb that is in stereo, so when you try to remove the vocal (properly described as "centre pan removal") it will remove nearly everything. It is quite common for live...

if I Use "Ctrl-X" to Cut out some audio, pressing "X" after selecting audio will delete all the audio in the track. I can't reproduce that exactly, but the following is reproducible every time: 1) Select part of a track 2) Press Ctrl+X and the selection will be deleted. 3) Press...

"exact Audio Copy" (EAC) is a CD ripper - you use it to extract audio files from a CD. As long as the CD is not physically damaged it will copy the audio from a CD and create a WAV file perfectly. (You also have to make sure that you set it up correctly, so read the instructions. EAC is no...

Just another thing, say if I had to transfer the .flacs I had from my computer to my mom's cause I don't have a cd burner on my comp and she does, would I get rippage in the .flac files via Aol Messenger's File Transferring Service? And about transferring mp3's in general through AIM Messenger: Doe...

That made me laugh

The audio input on Macs are said to be pretty good, but they have some drawbacks. 1) You can't record sounds that are playing on your computer without additional software. 2) For the price of a decent Mac you can buy a PC, a really good sound card, a pair of decent microphones, a pair of headphones,...

I viewed it as an equipment problem as opposed to a program problem. I thought that I had posted in the proper place. No problem Mojo - it's surprising how often it ends up being specific to the operating system and Audacity version even though it at first appears to be indipendent of them. It has ...

auf? - no idea. I just have .aup files, and then in the data folder .au files. Ok, found something here: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6171&p=24804#p24636 The reason Findelsplurb may have problems is that he has .auf summary files, which are not complete audio data. Thes...
