Re: 1.3.4 Stutterring sound

Just a thought - in the Audacity Preferences (Edit Menu) - in the "Quality" settings, do you have
"Conversion: Real time" set to "Fast Sinc / None"

Re: I think I blew it!

IIRC the developers were at one time considering revamping th export so that each track could be exported to a separate WAV file. I've had a look in the Feature Request page , but I can't see that idea listed. There is a suggestion for exporting partial projects, and a request for importing multipl...

Re: can't record computer sound

There is a guide for how to set this up: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... e_computer

My guess is that you just need to change a setting in your sound card mixer.

Re: 1.3.4 Stutterring sound

And seriously, are you recording through an external USB device? USB is particularly prone to this sort of problem because access to the USB port is dependant on CPU availability. Also, we have seen a lot of people have this sort of problem with USB turntables - it seems that some of them have rathe...

Re: 1.3.4 Stutterring sound

You have also missed out "I am recording from an ION USB turntable". (hopefully this statement is false). It would appear that something is causing a data bottleneck, or is hogging the CPU at inconvenient times. Check to see what other processes are running. Any processor intensive applica...

Re: No longer can't get audacity to work

* You said Audacity runs on Linux. If you need Windows for your main OS, then try running Linux virtually inside Windows rather than dual booting between Windows and Linux. I think the virtualisation most likely to work is VirtualBox. You want the X64 version obviously. I've not tried it myself, bu...

Re: Spoken Word: Tweaking for Maximum Quality

I first run the Hi-Pass Filter, setting the rolloff to 24db and the frequency to 165Hz. Next the Low-Pass filter, setting the rolloff to 3db and the freq. to 3250. ... I always run Noise Removal last. That is how I would do it, although (depending on the original recording) I may prefer to set the ...

Re: Good guitar distortion plugin? OR guitar to bass plugin?

Guitar Rig 3 is said to be pretty good, but it costs over $300 US. It's probably not compatible with Audacity either.
I would generally recommend getting a good quality little practice amp and a microphone.

Re: I can see the the Wav in Audacity but the sound cuts in/

If there have been absolutely no other changes, then moving the files back should restore the project. However, Audacity projects are easily damaged and any small discrepancy from the original file structure can really mess it up and make it one heck of a job to sort out. As you will have learned fr...
