Re: sound and record issues after setting change

You can click this link http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#vistacp to read about the Windows Control Panel for Sound. But both Audacity and Skype can explicitly choose their recording and playback devices, so I suggest rather than changing Windows settings that you: Get settings ...

Re: Removing background vocals from Audacity recording?

You still haven't said how you recorded this given Audacity only records one audio device at a time. I suppose you were playing the mics through the headset and recording stereo mix? If so the mics will always be a little late (and differently late on different computers) and both recordings will be...

Re: How do I use chains to export wav as 8khz ulaw

Thanks for the quick response Gale. I found a command line utility called SOX.EXE that can transcode files in a second step. Thanks, dan447. If all you are doing is converting files, a command-line utility (or conversion utility such as dBPowerAmp) will be much quicker than using Audacity because y...

Re: 2.0.5 really slow, unresponsive and then crashes

45 minutes should not be too long. Did you ever save this as an Audacity project or do you only have the audio file? Is it WAV or MP3? As an aside, if you are working on an audio file across different Audacity sessions you should export it as WAV for importing into Audacity next session. Exporting M...

Re: Have I lost my recording?

Thanks a lot, I will download the latest alpha version. Do I manually uninstall version 2.0.5, prior to installing the alpha version? The 2.0.6-alpha is a standalone zip, not an installer, so there is no need to uninstall 2.0.5. Simply extract the files in the zip to their own folder then run "...

Re: Presonus Firewire Stutter?

Everything is set to 44.1 Ksps. Most users here won't know what that means. I assume "sps" is short for samples per second and that Audacity project rate bottom left is 44100 (Hz). If you are playing multiple tracks, make them all start at time zero or generate silence in the entire white...

Re: Have I lost my recording?

Thanks for adding Audacity version and version of Windows. Before pressing the red record button, I saved a new Audacity project to my hard drive. I then pressed Audacity's record button. 10 hours later, I stopped the recording. I then saved the project. I quickly replayed some of the recording, and...

Re: How to make plugin for Audacity?

First you must decide if you make a VST, LADSPA, LV2, Audio Unit or Nyquist plug-in. You will only find help with Nyquist plug-ins here. For affecting one project at a time, you can use Audacity's built-in Time Tracks instead of making a plug-in. Or you can try Turntable Warping v3 which is a Nyquis...

Re: Frequent error msg "Could not remove old autosave file"

Rebooting did not help me. But I believe I have a solution that works for me. I have a backup device which is configured to backup a file whenever there is a change. I speculate that Audacity was unable to remove the old autosave file whenever the backup device happened to have the file open to mak...
