Re: Can Wav individual Wav files be Exported as 24 bit

Re: Severe 'drop-outs' when recording (Aud. 1.2.4)

Try disconnecting from your network (physically) and disable your anti-virus program, then try Audacity. Anti-virus programs can sometimes cause problems by checking every data file while you are recording, causing an unacceptable overhead. Also I seem to remember someone having a similar problem to...

Re: Preferences, Dreaded Windows Registry or CFG file?

My understanding is that if you have previously installed 1.2.x on a windows machine with its preferences stored in the registry and then install 1.3 - Audacity will then copy the preferences from the registry and use these as its initial settings for the 1.3 audacity.cfg file. I'm not sure that al...

Re: What's the best way to convert .flac into mp3?

Using Audacity:

Re: How would i make a classic rock sound

My preferred method is to mic up the amp, though there's no harm in trying other methods and seeing which gives the best results. Note that if you mic up the amp, the microphone position will make quite a lot of difference. Having the microphone close to the speaker will generally give you more bott...
