Audacity Forum

I´m using the 24 bit/48 KHz in my main sequencer (Logic 5.5.1). When I´m editing the Audacity-recorderd files in my Logic, it would be nice if the files had the same bit debth (24 bit). Yes I can see that. if I open the 32 bit file in the Logic, do I have to convert the file firts for the 24 bit? (...

RCA connectors are FAR more reliable than mini-jacks. Professional level cards use 1/4" jacks or XLR connectors, but these are too big to fit in a standard PCI slot, so they frequently use a break-out box. If you are using an external amplifier, such as a hi-fi amp, these use RCA connectors. Yo...

The natural format for Audio CD is 44100 at 16 bits, but I think the objection that the software has is the 32-bit floating business. I've made good Audio CDs from 48000/16.Koz This depends on the CD burning software - in Nero you can make Orange book standard CD's from MP3's, 48kHz 16 bit WAV's an...

Unfortunately backward compatibility never lasts forever - try as I may, I just can not get my old VHS tapes to play in my DVD player. Similarly, Audacity 1.3.x can open Audacity 1.2.x projects, but Audacity 1.2.x can not open v.1.3 projects. You should be OK with the new version of Audacity as long...

I assume you are using a screen reader with Audacity version 1.3.4 I also assume that you are familiar with the basic operation of Audacity. In case you have not yet come across it, there is a brief guide to using Audacity 1.3.4 with the commercial JAWS screen reader for Windows, and it is available...

That looks like a perfectly normal "44.1 kHz Microsoft 16 bit PCM stereo WAV" file. It imported into Audacity 1.3.4 on Linux perfectly. I'll test it tomorrow in WinXP, but I can see no reason why it should not work. Could you try importing just that clip into Audacity. Follow this method e...

But going back to the audacity this still does nt explain why I don t have the drop down inputs like in my old comp This is not uncommon - Audacity can only control your sound card as much as your sound card drivers will allow it to. The sound card drivers will over-ride Audacity, so you need to lo...

Yes, for an audio CD you need 44.1 kHz 16 bit

Try Audacity 1.3.5 beta (just been released and looking good) - You can set the project rate from a drop down list in the main screen (44100), and you can set the bit depth from the options when you export (Microsoft PCM 16 bit WAV).

I use a very old SoundBlaster Live Value - it's not "state of the art" but it works very well. Creative generally make pretty good sound card hardware, but the drivers can be a bit "iffy". They tend to include loads of features for gamers, so when you install it you have to go th...

I wonder what is so strange about the Adobe Soundbooth files. Can you upload a short example file somewhere and post a link so that we can have a look at it?
