Re: allow playback start close to playback cursor

To me though, using CTRL + SHIFT + *right* (and vice-versa) to contract the *left* edge seems unintuitive, even though it's a right-moving direction. I still do it the other way round by mistake now. Anyone else feel this, or is it me? When you put it like that, yes it seems a bit odd, but I think ...

Re: Converting MIDI files to WAV or MP3 files

Sure, why not. You'll probably need a pretty fast computer though.

For a higher quality mp3, change the project rate (bottom left corner of the main Audacity screen) to a higher setting. Alternatively use an external encoder. My favour...

Re: Managing and Assembling Lots of Little Files

How about loading them into a sampler, then writing a script to convert the "logical templates" into midi notes. You can then play the midi notes in a sequencer and the sampler will output the corresponding audio files (which can be recorded into Audacity if you wish).

Re: Wrong forum?

Assuming that you are using Audacity 1.2.x this is the right place to ask - whether anyone who knows the answer sees or replies to your post is another question. You should also check out the manufacturers web site/forum. WDM drivers are drivers specifically written for Windows. Some sound cards use...

Re: Audacity seems to be embedding audio

Edit > Preferences > File Formats Select "make a copy of the file before editing (safer)" Don't "delete" the file just yet (in case of any problems, you may need it as a backup). Make a copy on a CD or another drive before you delete it. Unless you are very short of hard drive sp...

Re: Converting MIDI files to WAV or MP3 files

Hmm... not quite sure why you would want to spend money on that when you can do it in Audacity for free. Oh well, each to his/her own.
