Re: generating 500hz tone at 1000 hz sample rate doesn't wor

Please do not double post. A given sample rate can only carry frequencies up to half that rate. Please see: http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/nyquist-frequency/.

Re: Audacity 2x not working well on 12 year old PC

FFmpeg is not available for Audacity 1.2. You would have to extract the audio from the WMV files to WAV before Audacity 1.2 can import them. Please be careful with XP. See http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=252800#p252800 . All of your issues could potentially be caused by viruses eating ...

Re: Importing audio from video using FFmpeg

I've installed 2.2.2 FFmpeg and Audacity auto locates it - so far so good. I then launch the latest nightly alpha 2.0.7 and try dragging the YT listing for a video onto the Audacity - all I see is a little red circle with a red diagonal line on a white background - and no audio. I play the audio in...

Re: Audacity doesn't launch! [SOLVED]

You're welcome. I've locked this topic now as it is solved, but note that the version you downloaded is built with a new version of wxWidgets (3.0.2). If you see anything different or incorrect in the Audacity interface, please let us know in a new topic. I've already noticed that the "Save Cha...

Re: Settings

Hi - Trying to set up this new version of Audacity on my Computer and the sound settings on it have gone a bit funny. Im using Vista and it has always worked well in the past. 1) What should the Reltek Audio Manager be set to? If you are recording music, turn off all its effects and enhancements. W...

Re: Converting Garageband files

OK, thanks. I've read through this several times, and I can't work out exactly what you are trying to do. The title says: "Converting Garageband files", but then you are talking about your USB microphone. I don't see the connection between the two. Why don't you just export from Garageban...

Re: insert clip into .aup file

Muted tracks are not included in the exported file. Always so. The exported file is the same as what you hear on playback. To clarify, not always so, unless in the Tracks Preferences you choose the non-default "Simple" mode for the Solo button. With the default "Standard" Solo b...

I stopped, did not pause and moved the arrows where the numbers are across the top of the wave forms to 2.0 and went to...

Re: No sound on playback & Audacity freezing

Are you recording at an extreme sample rate (see bottom left of Audacity)?

Have you tried increasing Audio to buffer in Audacity's Recording Preferences? That affects playback and recording.
