You could buy an external mic preamp but if you're not going to use it again I don't think it's worth the investment just for that... Is your computer a laptop or desktop computer? Does it have line input? On a desktop computer it would be the blue socket next to the mic socket (pink). If so you cou...

I just realized I only have "System" and "English" options for Interface language on my 1.3.12 audacity on macos-x. On Linux I get all other languages. Is the mac version built with only english interface language?

Is it only in Audacity that you don't see it or you don't see it in the mac's system preferences either?

With a pair of earbuds you can place the two apart from each other to some extent and see the difference between the two channels.

It's ok. I didn't have any info about audacity version so I was just trying to guess it from the forum section you posted in. Anyways have you followed the instructions on ffmpeg and lame installation in the below links? http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#in...

Hello anette!

What version of audacity are you using? You posted in the 1.2.x section of the forum... On Snow Leopard it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest 1.3.12 version. You can download it from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac

I know what a graphic equilizer is... I just didn't understand what lenny meant by "automatic" (and I still don't and apparently I'm not the only one...). If you can provide more details on how/what you want to be "automatic" we can give you some recommendations... It would also ...
