Re: flat spectrographs during recording

Since I have up-graded to Audacity 2.0.6, during recordings from my cassette recorder / amplifier, the higher volume areas in the spectrograph are flattened even though I set the volume slider to -6 db for these higher volume sections. It acts as though a limiter has been activated. Additional to D...

Re: Exported Multiple Tracks only Ten Seconds Duration

Are you following Splitting a recording into separate tracks - Audacity Manual ?

Do you have enough disk space to export the files?

Re: How to upgrade Audacity 1.3.13 to 2.0.6

Thanks for all the detail. So when you have the TV connected to the HDMI output, but you choose to send the display to the laptop only, the HDMI audio output device is not available in Windows (you don't see HDMI audio in the Playback tab in Windows Sound )? That's what it looks like from your Audio...

Re: Crackling playback, Mac OSX Yosemite

Hi again, I can't find the post now, but I tried everything you suggested someone else with at similar problem: Adjusting bit-rate, real time conversion, audio to buffer separately and together - no effect.

Re: SET UP FOR USB TURNTABLE

Having problems setting up my Crosley Executive turntable with Audacity. The manual reads.......... 6. Once the AUDACITY PREFERENCES window appears, select the AUDIO I/O tab. That's an old Manual for an old version of Audacity. So stop now. Make sure you have Audacity 2.0.6 from http://audacityteam...

Create a Chain then apply it to files.

See Chains - for batch processing and effects automation - Audacity Manual.
