Re: Playback meters active but no sound; OpenSuSE 11.

Running the command line 'alsamixer' in a terminal window presents me with a DOS-like screen from the early 80s, showing a single mixer bar, labeled 'Master'; There are no independent controls for the usual things I see in Windows (like Line-Out, Aux-Out, etc) And this single bar appears to apply o...

Re: wma vs mp3 and editor

Which is better wma or mp3. What do you mean by "better"? For sound quality, WAV and FLAC are better than either of them. As a (highly) compressed format for music, Ogg Vorbis has the advantage of being open source. For extreme compression of voice recordings, Speex is the best. http://ww...

Re: marking sections

Does marking sections serve any purpose other than helping Audacity to split a recording into separate files? Yes, it's quite handy if you want a section marked (for example "where does the second chorus start?") are these marks supported by other applications such as iTunes? I don't thin...
