Re: How do i reset the bassboost

The samples make it clear. The problem is that the volume level is far too high. With digital audio, there is an absolute maximum level for how big a signal level can be. If you measure something on a range of "0 to one hundred", then you can't have something that is "one hundred and ...

Re: Bug report

Hi Mauri, we meet again. It is not advisable to have more than one instance of Audacity open at one time. The problem is that they may easily overwrite each others temporary files and mess things up for both instances. There are some measure in place to prevent this from happening, but in certain co...

Re: Behringer iAXE629 MetAlien USB Guitar

Unless anyone else here has one of these guitars, I think you best bet will be to contact Behringer.

Re: my recordings have gone a little strange!

Check the wiring inside the speakers if you can. If it has separate tweeters, you could also have one tweeter wired the wrong way round, (previously the right way round due to double reversal) a kind of electrical buzzing interference sound all the time, there is even a kind of ripping, scratchy sou...

Re: Bug when exporting audio?

Strange - I'm on Xubuntu 8.04 with Audacity 1.3.4 and I can't get it to happen. Are you using the version in the Ubuntu repository, building from source code, or using some other version. I've found plenty of other bugs in the current Ubuntu repository version, but I can't reproduce this particular ...

Re: Blind user asks for help with tracks' editing

Are you using Audacity version 1.3.4 or version 1.3.5? These two versions are very similar, but there are some small differences. I'll go to your third question first. How to read time positions, such as the length of a track. As waxcylinder said, there is a toolbar, which by default is at the botto...

Re: Recording Fine - Playback Garbled

You are not giving enough information. What inputs /outputs are selected in the Windows Mixer? What soundcard are you using? What audio format are you using? Is it a laptop or a desktop? WinXP or Vista? Does it work if you use Windows Sound Recorder? Is playback "muddy" straight away, or o...

Re: Clipfix (see waveform pic) - plugins available?

I gave a mic a bit too much gain A "BIT" too much gain :D What has happened here is that the signal has gone so far off the scale that it has appeared on the other side. Actually that should never happen, and is partly due to your sound card handling the overload incorrectly. The distorti...

Re: erasing within single track

You might check out Audacity 1.3, but I don't think that will do it, either. That's correct. In Audacity 1.3.4, you can pause the recording, then "un-pause" it and continue recording on the same track from where it had got up to, but as soon as you hit the stop button, any subsequent reco...
