Re: 2.0.5 - Very long recording, very choppy.

I saved the audacity file. It ended up being about a 20 hour recording. Now, here is the issue. I went to playback a random bit in the middle, and heard a lot of choppiness. A lot: http://imposinghosting.com/e0022ab0.wav . I quit out of audacity, and reopened my project file, to be greeted with the...

Re: Issue exporting ac3 file that adds 5 miliseconds

Use WAV or FLAC. If the audio is for a movie it may support WAV.

Do you have Norton? Or other apps that clean your temporary disk space for you? I was a bit confused on this par...

Re: Renaming vst in cfg file

If the cfg file resets every time you scan the vst folder I already said it did that. Try 2.1.0-alpha or wait for 2.1.0 release. It will still overwrite local hacks you make to plugin configuration files if you do a rescan, but you can add a new plugin and have it recognised on restarting Audacity ...

Re: Problem exporting to AAC… Help!

Re: Cannot Save Project or Export Audio of recorded files

This constraint, (including the date and no special characters, (e.g., "?")) did not apply before the problem occurred last week. Any idea why? These are the characters that are reserved for the system on Windows and which therefore cannot be used in a file name: / : * ? " < > | So i...

Re: How to make everything the same volume?

how to get the effect that one would expect "Normalize" gives - which it doesn't. Normalize is not intended to reduce dynamic range. Normalize won't be able to make the overall song loud enough if you have a few isolated loud peaks that are almost at 0 dB. That is why you use compression....
