Audacity Forum

It's those CPU usage peaks that get me - on my old box I'm at over 84% usage when I record, but it's pretty stable within a couple of percent, so it records without any drop outs or glitches (yes I know I need a better machine :D) Whatever is running that causes those spikes is probably the culprit....

:D I just love the unusual things that people do with Audacity :D This one is right up my street, it's the kind of weird thing I do all the time. Yes it's a little time consuming, but here's how I approach it: First create a "palette" of sounds - these are the individual "notes" ...

I use "SUPER" which can convert most formats, including WMA
It's a pain to download, and the user interface is a bit unusual, but it's free and it works: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

lol, I was just answering the other post, then it was gone. (exactly the kind of irritating confusion that cross-posting causes) Oh well, I'll paste my response here - it pretty well restates alatham's reply, but has a little extra info thrown in. To select a track, click on the box on the left of t...

Apparently the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI works well in Linux (with ALSA), and gets very good reviews (example below)

That's not what happens. Audio recording or capture creates new files and the virus software insists on inspecting each file as it's being created to "protect you." I was talking specifically about AVG anti-virus, and the difference between when it does it's background monitoring, and whe...

So you're recording from a USB device? You've just added USB speakers? and now you can't record? ... if that's the case, try unplugging your speakers - reboot - and try again. ... if that's not the case, you'll need to say what your setup is and exactly what the problem is, rather than leaving every...

1. I have used the line-in feed with other sources (both music and speech audio-cassettes hooked up from their audio out to laptop) and it worked fine. So the hardware works ok. 2. I have used another software - DC Millenium -- to try and extract audio from my videocassette and that worked but the ...

I can't say anything specific about Vita as I don't use it, but there's all sorts of things can cause poor audio performance: On-board sound cards are generally pretty bad. Fragmentation causes bottlenecks for the data getting onto the hard drive Some anti-virus programs can slow everything down Oth...

There's little enough documentation on the well established Jack for Linux, so I doubt that anyone is going to spend much time documenting support for experimental software before it reaches a stable release version. The best solution that I've found for Windows is the Kx project drivers (with a sui...
