Re: Cannot uninstall!

A - Install it again to the same directory (this will overwrite the previous installation) then try uninstalling. or B - Delete the Audacity temporary directory and the main Audacity directory (this will leave your preferences in the registry, which you can either remove manually, or just leave them...

Re: Audigy 2 ZS and Recording

I was not aware of that limitation with the 2ZS, however a good work around would be to record at 24 or 32 bit (this has greater dynamic range). Set your levels reasonably high, but allow yourself some headroom. After recording, use "Amplify" to bring the levels up to maximum (the maximum ...

Re: Cut, copy, save etc. not available

Many of the operations, such as "copy", "cut", and the effects, require that you have some audio selected. If you do not have any audio selected these options will be greyed out. To select a complete track, click on the box on the left hand side of the track. To select part of a ...

Re: Newbie Questions!

Q1 - I don't know what you mean - can you give more detail. Q2 - You can use "Effect > Change Speed", but note that this will change both the speed and the pitch as ot simply slows down or speeds up the audio (like playing a record or tape at the wrong speed). Q3 - You can shorten it eithe...

Re: Mid side decording.

Recording with X/Y stereo, you just put one on one channel, and the other on another. Pan one to the left and the other to the right and that's all there is to it. The further they are panned, the wider the stereo separation, so if you just leave it as a stereo recording you have maximum stereo sepa...

Re: preserve the envelope?

I can't help thinking that the poster was looking for a little blue radio button to push that would transfer the envelope. No button? No there is no button, but it would be a cool feature, and probably not too difficult to implement. I've frequently found the envelope tool a bit underpowered . If I...

Re: Cross Platform Usage

Works fine between Linux and XP or vice versa. A couple of things to be cautious with - use the same version (v1.2.x or 1.3.x) on both machines (Audacity 1.2.x can not open Audacity 1.3.x projects) - Depending on how you make the copies, you may need to check the "permission" allow you rea...

Re: Cross Platform Usage

Does audacity automagically figure these changes out.... That is precisely the problem. Audacity relies on the information in the AUP file to tell it where all the audio (and wave display) is. If you have any audio used in a project that is not in the project_data folder, then transporting the proj...

Re: Metallic ring? after high compression using SC4

It's difficult to be sure without hearing it, but I suspect that your "metallic ringing" is the result of artifacts generated by the Noise Reduction process. When you compress the hell out of a recording, the quiet sounds, including any hiss, become considerably louder, and trying to remov...
