Re: Cannot Export Entire File

I'm using Audacity 2.0.6 on a Windows 8 machine (64 bit). I have recorded an internet radio station for 11 hours in stereo. The audio recorded perfectly into Audacity and replay is fine. I recorded by simply going to the station's home page, starting play, and clicking record on Audacity. My proble...

Re: Songs recorded through audacity are quiet compared to ot

I have viewed the thread you mentioned, but found myself unable to record directly from Windows using anything other than WASAPI. There were a few other options available but they all seemed to record from the inbuilt microphone in my laptop. For example, when selecting MME in the host box, the two...

Re: Mac system 10.9.5 won't let me start Audacity 2.0.6

I went to sourceforge.net, downloaded Audacity 2.0.6, but the system still won't let me run it. The complaint is like last time that the developer cannot be verified. I was successful in reviving 2.0.5 from TimeMachine and will run that until a fix is available. Thanks. Steve gave a link to http://...

Re: Whoosh sound just before my voice starts

recording_noise.wav Hi, I've tried the lower value on the noise reduction slider and reduced the attack/decay time, but unfortunately I still can't seem to get it to sound right! I'm still learning how to use audacity so realise I may not have set the values correctly in the beginning. I am attachi...

Re: Project Window

"View menu > Fit Vertically" works. "Edit > Preferences > Tracks" and enable "Automatically fit tracks vertically zoomed". does not work automatically. You may get odd results using the Preference if you turn if on in an existing project. Is that what you mean? Can any...

Re: File Export to wav/mps options both grayed in

I'm guessing that this is an absurdly easy question... but here goes... What I want to do (OS = W7) is to simply record my voice (very basic recording), save it as either a wav or mp3 file and then send it to someone. But, as I say above, both options are grayed in... Many thanks ion advance for yo...

Re: adjudting sound levels for all .wav files

Would anyone be so kind as to share the step-by-step process of applying wavegain to a .wav or multiple .wav files? A simple script like this should do the trick: @echo off for %%i in (*.wav) do ( wavegain.exe --apply %%i ) If you are more comfortable with clicking buttons in an interface, you can ...

Re: Record lossless

I wanted to check the recording quality when i record "what i hear". So when i play a music file audacity records the sound. I guess it is the sound card audacity records, right? Anyways, i recorded a high quality m4a file and expected it to be the same. Like exactly the same. However, au...

Re: Whoosh sound just before my voice starts

I was removing the background humming in between my talking. I have to leave gaps in my talking and was removing the humming between. Should I have used less noise removal? Is there something I can do to correct it? Yes try it with a lower value on the "Noise Reduction" slider. Try reduci...

Re: Strange losing of signal

Although I will check into the suggestions, are you saying this out of experience with the problems or are these just good ideas to check? I am saying that if Audacity cannot write to the drive or folder you choose for the Audacity temporary directory, the recorded waveform will appear for a few se...
