Re: Application error crashes in Vista

How much free drive space do you have? Windows machines should have 10% free drive space at all times and audio at 44100 Hz 16 bit uses around 10 MB per minute. A 60 minute recording will use 600 MB, and if you apply any process to it, (such as amplifying, Equalization, etc.) then it will require an...

Re: extra blank space/time at the end of an audio track

Check the length of this track - trim off any unwanted silence at the end - the Exported audio should be the same as this track. Exporting as MP3 will insert a brief silence at the beginning of the track due to a...

Re: Noise Removal Follies

Re: LAME encoder properties
