Did the files had that hiss before the crash?
Can you play them right with other media player (iTunes, VLC, etc)?

I added some indentation to your final script, to make it more easily readable, I hope you don't mind. Everything else seemed fine. I wasn't thinking about getting much into command line usage details in this article, I was assuming most linux users would be comfortable with that. But with the raisi...

I’ve just one question: once I’ve got a five-pin din to 3.5mm stereo minijack cable and connected tape recorder to PC line in, am I likely to need an extra driver? If I understand it, you say I won’t. I can do this for audiocassette to line in, and I think it was the Audacity software that provided...

You omitted two important pieces of information: operating system and audacity version. Without knowing that we can't provide any further help...

For modern OSes audacity 1.3.12 (beta) is recommended. For windows 7 check Trebor's link.

DAC stands for Digital-to-Analog Converter. To convert from the analog signal on the line-in to a digital format (AAC, WAV, etc) a DAC is needed. There is one in your sound card.

Splitted from: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=51321 Wasn't related to the original topic in any way. OS not mentioned so I splitted to general discussion forum. helpmeplease, writing all in caps doesn't get you faster help (it actually makes it harder to read your post), nor ...

Thank you Steve. I think there might be a bug on your shell script. I haven't tested it but I think it will probably fail if the file name has spaces on it. Which is what usually causes me more trouble when i'm shell scripting for batch processes like this. Sometimes I first remove spaces from filen...

You can't make a 6 channel track on audacity. But you can export 6 mono tracks as a 6-channel file. Go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Import/Export" and select "Use Custom Mix". Then when you export you'll get an extra dialog box (after metadata tags) to assign the tracks to chann...
