Which version of Audacity do you have? (look in "Help > About Audacity")
You are using Windows XP?

Dig around in the Windows Sound Control panels and turn everything off but the Record -- Line-In. Very important that. With only "Line in" selected, I get a noise floor of around -80dB on my very old Sound Blaster Live sound card, but if I leave other inputs active the noise floor can go ...

Those "shocking" little faces make me laugh :D If you use the "Code" button (above the message edit area) your code will display correctly like this: (setq fp (open "test.txt" :direction :output)) (setf time (snd-t0 s)) (print time fp) (close fp) Yes you're correct - &q...

I don't understand what exactly 'invert' does, "Invert" does exactly what it says - it turns the waveform upside down (inverts it) Everything that is on the plus side of the central line becomes negative, and everything on the lower (negative ) side of the line becomes positive. Here are ...

It is MUCH better to fix the source of the noise than try to correct it in post production. I suspect that your sound card is the problem, but it would be good to eliminate the possibility of the microphone / pre amp combination first. Do you have any way of testing it? could you for example do a te...

I think that it is included in Audacity 1.3.5
Look in the "Generate" menu - below the horizontal line.

1. The point is that it did not look like the ususal dither. 1a. There were spikes of the same height. In dither noise in exprort I usually see about three different heights. (Well might be the 'fast' dither now?) 1b. The spikes were only of positive polarity..... Those pictures are indeed strange ...

On a dual processor G4 it took a hole day to declip 8 tracks of 8 minutes each. That seems odd. On my Pentium III 500MHz 512MB RAM running Xubuntu 8.04 (linux) and Audacity 1.3.5 A single mono 5 minute 38 seconds track 44.1 kHz 16 bit with lots of clipping took only 20 minutes to complete Clip Fix ...

On-demand summarising of uncompressed files which is a Google Summer of Code project, means you can start playing and editing that 2 GB file after a few seconds. That sounds very exciting, but as WC says, "Power users" are a lot more likely to read the manual. A lot of open source softwar...

That's ridiculous. I only want 20 seconds of audio from 1 track WHat the heck is wrong with Audacity that you have to go to all this trouble to get cd audio? With a CD ripping program, you could do that in about 10 seconds and avoid all the headaches with working out how to configure your computer ...
