Audacity Forum

Why do you want to do that? What are you wanting to achieve?

The basic problem is that the audio inputs for most laptops are crap and only suitable for simple low quality voice recording with a computer microphone. In most cases, plugging a guitar into a laptop mic input leads to so much distortion that no one notices that it's out of sync. You could try usin...

Any chance you're recording via USB?

Check your Windows Recycle Bin, if you have accidentally deleted some files, you may be able to Restore them.

I can't really help with the Nyquist programming as 1) I'm not a programmer, and 2) I've usually found a way to accomplish what I want with things that already exist (though sometimes it needs a bit of lateral thinking). In this case, you can do option 1 using "batch processing" with Audac...
