Re: half a second delay between the speakers and the mixer

To avoid the delay: If they are USB turntables, then you need to monitor the turntables directly from the turntable, not through Audacity. If the turntables are connected to the computer through a conventional sound card, go to "Preferences" in the "Edit" menu, select the "A...

Re: amplitude measurements

Select the track and amplify it by a known amount. Amplify by 6dB to double the amplitude. Amplify by 12 dB for amplitude x 4 18 dB = amplitude x 8 24 dB = amplitude x 16 .... Click and drag on the vertical scale to select a zoom range. Also, you can grab the bottom edge of the track with your mouse...

Re: Nothing is working with audacity, help!

Most functions require that some audio is selected. To select a complete track, click on the box at the left side of the track. To select a region of one or more track, click with the left mouse button on a track and while holding the mouse button down, drag the mouse across the desired selection. T...

Re: Multi track issues...

the second track is playing at an increased speed and pitch, Try changing the default sample rate - if it is set at 44100, change to 48000, if at 48000 change to 44100. To change the default sample rate, go to "Edit > Preferences > Quality" when I try to record stereo, the stereo tracks a...

Re: Multiple export produces one file zero bytes

However.... I now cannot insert or use the letter z in a label. Yes, that's a known bug, and it's unlikely to get fixed as it is a relatively minor issue and 1.2.6 is no longer being developed (the next stable release will be v.1.4.0 which will be based on the current 1.3.x beta). Upper case "...

Re: Basic downgrade rate question - sound becomes stretched

The technical term for what you want is "downsampling". To get your audio as 8 bit 11025 HZ, do all the editing in whatever format you like (I'd recommend either 16 bit 44100 Hz or 16 bit 48000 Hz, then Export the finished audio as 8 bit 11025 Hz. To set the bit depth, from the "Prefe...

Re: Recordings clipping at 0.5

Try recording using the Windows Sound Recorder.
If you get the same issue, then you need to be looking at the audio drivers and Windows Sound System set up rather than Audacity. If you can get full scale recording in Windows Sound Recorder, then we need to be looking at Audacity.

Re: microphone recording without using JACK

You lucky lucky man - I can't get JACK to work in a stable manner at all. If it works for you, don't knock it. Jack offers better performance than OSS or ALSA, as well as offering routing possibilities between multiple audio applications. If you are having stability problems, or some other over-ridi...
