Audacity Forum

Get a Behringer UCA-202 It's a stereo USB audio interface - the input is fixed at line level, and it's just "2 in / 2 out" with no other features (apart from a little LED that lights up when it's plugged in). There are other USB audio interfaces, but this one is about the cheapest, and I f...

As far as I know, the only "manual" for the SC4 is those brief notes in the link in my previous post. Try looking up "audio compression" or "dynamic processing" in Wikipedia, I seem to remember seeing an article about using compressors there.

The only thing similar to this that I've come across was that someone found an incompatibility between Audacity and a Firefox Add-on. I don't think this got resolved beyond not running Firefox and Audacity at the same time - I don't think that the offending Add-on was identified either. Audio editin...

I think you may be asking in the wrong place for "an official statement on this". Some of the developers pop in to this forum from time to time, but mostly they are busy ... developing Audacity. So the forum get's left to enthusiastic users of Audacity, who do their best to help other user...

Do you have a screen saver or does your computer go to sleep? I guess this could have an impact - I'm not at my b...

...is missing the "change tempo" and "change pitch" functions, which are both the very essence of Audacity. A bit of an exaggeration I feel, but I agree they are a big loss. (I think they were absent from 1.3.3 as well). Apparently " The solution to this problem is to add a...

Perhaps when JACK support is better this will become a non-issue.

Choose your JACK enabled media player of choice,
Choose your JACK enabled audio editor of choice (Audacity)
Hit "Play" in Jack Control, and BINGO, Audacity with video.

Microsoft changed the audio system just before releasing Vista, so a lot of audio drivers for Vista are pants, but some manufacturers have eventually got round to fixing their drivers. Some haven't bothered, but it's worth looking for updated drivers. Also, there are loads of updates and fixes for V...
