Nice post jan. The fancy text is done using BBC code I think jan is Czech. I believe the Czech language is similar to Slovak, and to a lesser degree to Polish. Volta is not an Audacity developer, and his original question does not specifically require the attention of Audacity developers. "make...

Mixers usually have a suitable output. What outputs are available?

To empty the temporary directory, go to that directory, select everything in it, and press the "Delete" key. The bits that do not get uninstalled automatically are the registry entry and possibly the Audacity folder within the "Program Files" folder. Are you still getting that Er...

Any ideas why I have the hum/buzzing sound in the first place. I'm recording from MIXER to AMP to LINE IN on EXTERNAL SOUNCARD to LAPTOP. You've hit the nail on the head.

I hope this helps. :) But when you burn it as an audio CD, it must be 44.1kHz 16 bit stereo (Red book standard). Many CD burning applications will convert...

When editing Tag info of an mp3, do you always have to export as mp3 ? This is a bit of a "quirk" - Audacity 1.3.4 and earlier ask for Metetag data when you export, even for formats that do not support metatag data (such as WAV's). In version 1.3.5 you can switch off the prompt for metata...
