Audacity Forum

can't think of any program that lets me do undo after a save and reopen after closing the ap. so no surprise that audacity does it that way too. i think all of my main aps will let me undo as long as the file is still open no matter how many saves. if not that is a major bug in photoshop et al.

that machine should be fine. usb and win7 can cause odd problems.
have you tried another usb port?

it would help to have a lot more information. what is the sample rate set in audacity? set it to 44.1 and then 48 do either of those work for you? what is the rate for your sound card? which sound card? what other settings are selected for your sound card? what pc what opsys etc. they all work diffe...

he may mean the oddball way it displays at times and that if you magnify in different places on the left vertical side you see different things also the db scale does not match the linear display probably for practical programming you only show the top of the linear scale not the middle portion when...

maybe there is a distortion plug in out there somewhere on the web? but if you amplify your recording past the zero level and click allow clipping you will cause distortion. Play with how much over you need to go to get it to sound distorted enough for you. you could also apply some heavy compressio...

... If so, this software is junk. .... it is worth every penny you paid for it so if you don't like it then buy nuendo or sonar producer i am amazed at how good it is for a free program and how much the developers have been able to do for too many platforms and they answer questions too if my recor...
