Re: mp3 music file volume modification

Your link has been downloaded-No change. It is not "our" link. Audacity does not condone potential violation of the MP3 encoding patents, however theoretical such violations may be. Did you follow and complete the instructions on http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_p...

Re: mp3 music file volume modification

You want to tick (check) the box "Sound Check" in Playback Preferences in iTunes. It is a 10 seconds job. Then your MP3's will sound similarly loud without degrading their sound quality. I use "audio" during iTunes disc burning. The "Sound Check" does not work very wel...

Re: env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 audacity

My initial Preferences-Recording-Latency settings were Audio to buffer = 100 Latency correction = -130 I changed Latency correction to 30, as Gale suggested. No I wrote only what you cited further down your post. "Latency correction" in Recording Preferences does nothing except move a rec...

Re: Apple Effect Plug-in not Working in OS X 10.10 beta 2

Long time Audacity users, first time poster. I recently, in my over zealous Mac fandom, upgraded to the public beta of OS X 10.10. It would have been better to put the Yosemite beta on a separate partition if you only have the one Mac. Today, when I tried to edit a project for the first time since ...

Re: mp3 music file volume modification

MAKING SOME GOOD PROGRESS! BUT HAVING PROBLEM CONVERTING THE FILE TO mp3. You don't want to export the Audacity project to MP3. You will degrade the audio. You want to tick (check) the box "Sound Check" in Playback Preferences in iTunes. It is a 10 seconds job. Then your MP3's will sound ...

Re: All our hard work appears to have vanished

Please be careful with Windows XP. Microsoft are no longer officially supporting it, so it will be unpatched against any new security vulnerabilities that appear. Make sure you have XP Service Pack 3. You can still download Service Pack 3 from Microsoft if necessary: http://support.microsoft.com/kb...

Re: All our hard work appears to have vanished

What exact version of Audacity does it say at Help > About Audacity... (all three numbers)? Have you recently upgraded from an old 1.2 or 1.3 version of Audacity and you opened a project originally created in an old version of Audacity? Current Audacity (2.0.5) does not (or most definitely should no...

Re: Project crashes when opening

Also note that some of your tracks have audio behind zero. That audio behind zero will not be exported with standard export, only with Export Multiple with splits based on tracks.
