Re: everything silent after fresh install of 2.0.5

Look at Edit > Preferences: Directories. Set the Audacity temporary directory to a local drive that is working, has sufficient space and that you have permission to write to, then restart Audacity. For more information you could look at Help > Show Log... . You may find "access denied". Gale

Re: COMBINING SONGS WITHOUT OVERLAPPING

I'm trying to combine several tracks so they become one continuous song. I've made all the edits on audacity in 4 separate files for the 4 songs. I just want to combine all the songs into one file where they play individually. PLEASE HELP ASAP If you have the songs on top of each other in separate ...

Re: One mic recording in stereo the other through mono

If you want left and right with an XLR connection won't you have to connect to either 1 and 2 or 3 and 4? What are the make and model numbers of the mics? You can't record more than one of those pairs in any case, if you only have a maximum of 2 channels in Device Toolbar. To record four simultaneou...

Re: Trovi

the link/file address referred to by both myself and emmaamj is http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/audacity-win-2.0.5.exe which is copied from your audacity/sourceforge website. You can't have it both ways. Or are you suggesting that download became infected and now isn't infected? There is a per...

Re: patch for startup crash without a temporary directory

I tested your patch for the issue launching Audacity as root on Ubuntu. The patch does allow Audacity to launch, to offer the Directories Preferences to change the temp directory, then close with a message telling the user to launch Audacity again. So it is an advance for sure. On Ubuntu, once I hav...

Re: Help Needed Recording Vocals Alone When Using Backing Tr

Thanks for pointing me out. I did try the button above "to phone" but there will only be my voice and there is not backing track coming out of the headphone. Have you still got Transport > Overdub enabled in Audacity? I also tried installing the ASIO all driver but the result was same. Au...

Re: What tricks do you have for easily removing tape hiss?

More often then not there's no place on a recording that's just hiss from which to get a noise profile. What I've been doing is generating a second of white noise at the end and getting my profile from that, then deleting the white noise. It works very well but it's time consuming and tedious. Let'...

Re: Recording computer playback using WASAPI or MME

The hints I wrote above apply to WASAPI rather than MME or Windows DirectSound. If your computer sound card has Stereo Mix or What U Hear (which you can use under MME or Windows DirectSound), you can always press Record before starting the stream. WASAPI could have quality issues if resampling occur...

Re: What Are These Red Lines?

Turn off Cut Lines in the Tracks Preferences . Cut Lines are not enabled by default.
