Re: MP3 editing-to make song longer.

We seem to be having a bit of difficulty interpreting your question Axe.

In Audacity 1.3.4, you can repeat a section in Audacity by selecting the section (or the whole track if that is what you want to repeat) then selecting "Repeat" from the "Effects" menu.

Re: Various in 1.2.4 on XP: playing, export, genre

Version 1.2 4 is ancient and obsolete. 1) sounds like the computer is struggling to keep up - have you defragmented your hard drive recently? Do you have more than 10% free disk space?

Re: Can't record

Using Kontact with Sibelius, you can export directly as a WAV file - no need to record.
Export from Sibelius as a WAV file, then import the WAV file into Audacity for editing.

Re: Stereo Playback, Left and Right Stagger

Hi Dan, You know how ProTools can be a bit "picky" about the set-up, well with Audacity things are usually quite a bit more tolerant, but sometimes there will be a set-up that drops the audio performance to an unacceptable level and everything goes out of synch. There are the usual suspect...

Re: looking for vocal fx/filters and settings you've used

Sounds like your asking for opinions and personal experience, so here goes: I don't use VST with Audacity, I stick with LADSPA and Nyquist plug-ins. I usually prefer to use a large diaphragm condenser mic for vocals rather than a dynamic, but whatever... Microphone position utmost importance, partic...

Re: Matching EQ

After reading the response from koz, and completely agreeing with what he says, I would totally contradict him and say "no, there is no no more scientific method". I have come across "spectrum profiling plug-ins" and they work to some degree, but at the end of the day, the algori...

"Sawtooth" wave works well also.
