How can I convert this file/information to a compatible format (CUE?) that I can then add the labels to Audacity. Audacity uses a very simple format for labels (a different format than CUE files). Label files are plain text files, where the text is in the format: <start-time><tab><end-time><tab><la...

Audacity doesn't do "real-time effects". In Audacity, you could duplicate the track (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/edit_menu_copy_paste_and_duplicate.html#duplicate), then slow down the duplicate and use the track's "solo" button to play just that one track. When you've fin...

i have a SKEVONO record player I guess that's a USB record player? For USB recording devices, ensure that the device (the USB turntable) is connected before you launch Audacity. You should then see a USB option in the recording devices in the "Device Toolbar". It is generally best to sele...

The problem, as you can see in this zoomed-in screenshot, is that there are small bits of the waveform "missing" (which I've marked with labels). These are called "dropouts" (or "drop outs" or "drop-outs"). Normally, Audacity 2.3.2 will throw a warning and add...

Are your referring to the "Spectral Toolbar"? (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spe ... olbar.html)

Probably not "done for" ;) but to be of any help, you will need to give more information, including: Which version of Windows? Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help menu > About Audacity"). What were you recording? What were you recording from? What audio devices are you usin...

All that and you have to make sure Windows isn't helping you with voice management, ambience processing and echo reduction. Good point Koz, though typically Windows doesn't enable effects for USB device. To check that Windows isn't adding effects, ensure that Windows Sound "Enhancements" ...

Perhaps "Plot Spectrum" (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/plot_spectrum.html) will work better for some of these awkward bits. With Plot Spectrum, you will usually need to set the "Size" fairly high (usually between 1024 and 4096 works well), then look for a prominent spike to...

"Nyquist" is a simple programming language that is built into Audacity (it's also available as a stand-alone programming language for audio https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~music/nyquist/). In Audacity, Nyquist scripts (programs), which are written in plain ascii text, may be made into plug-ins, by...

Skype is horrible for recording. It's much better to get everyone in the same place if possible.
