Re: Does Audacity MP3 codec is free for commercial use?

iTunes is free and comes with a licensed Fraunhofer MP3 encoder. That means you have no risk of being sued for encoding MP3's as a private, non-commercial activity, whatever country you are in. The iTunes EULA does not mention MP3 so presumably your restrictions are as per the MP3 licensing link. I ...

Re: Help recording mic and computer sounds with Audacity 2.0

I am using a desktop with Windows 7 and have Audacity version 2.0.5 and I am trying to figure out how to record both the sound that I hear and the sound that I make. If that means during a Skype or Hangouts session, Audacity can't do that easily or well. For Skype use Pamela, http://voipcallrecordi...

Re: Sound is distorted when recording (w/ Logitech C270 webc

that was kind of complicated, i don't have a "loopback" option in recording, so I chose the same device i set in "listen". You will have a "(loopback)" choice for the playback device you are using in the Recording Device section of Audacity's Device Toolbar. I think I ...

Re: cleaning up voice from vinyl

Please post an audio sample if you need more help.

However if the voice is too reverberant, it is very hard to fix that.

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

I made public in the Proposal that current QA consensus favours a shipped external reset app for Windows and Mac that writes "resetPrefs.txt" to the directory the app is in. Do you (Ed) plan to code that for Windows and take it from there, assuming we don't hear feedback that approach is ...

Re: Sound is distorted when recording video cam

I started a new topic for you. It will be too confusing to answer you and someone else in the same topic. Are you using Audacity? If so, what version of Windows and what version of Audacity? See the pink panel at the top of this page. What is the make and model number of the video camera? Is that ca...

Re: Bad sound when recording

Please read the pink panel at the top of this page. What version of Windows, Mac or Linux? What version of Audacity (all three numbers)? You have not said how you are recording YouTube. Take a look at Tutorial - Recording audio playing on the computer - Audacity Manual and look at the instructions f...

Re: error when opening an audacity file

i don't know how to find the correct data folder. Where can i find this? As I said, the _data folder should have the same name as the AUP file you are trying to open. If you renamed the _data folder, rename it back to the same name as the AUP file. If you are still not sure please attach the AUP fi...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

That is the reason why you should start with building/testing the Windows solution - just as a sanity check. Well, you can do that, Ed, if you haven't already ;) I doubt there is an error in my build of wxMac as I build Audacity regularly on Mac. I can't find anything useful by Googling, but might ...
