Audacity Forum

I've attached a small mp3 portion of the audio to this post for steve and others who've requested it. test.mp3 In response to Gale: yes, you are surely right that the BEST way is to record the audio without clipping in the first place. But as I mentioned, I've found many posts online from folks in ...

Yes it is always a good idea to export a recording as soon as you have made it. Having an AUP file apparently saved at correct size but just containing NULL's has been reported a number of times on this Forum and elsewhere. It is probably not a virus or disk save error but you cannot rule it out. Yo...

You implied before that it did not record at all. Try turning off Transport > Software Playthrough.

In my case, despite selecting and opening the av* DLL, that DLL was producing all these missing symbol errors: 04:54:33: Error: Couldn't find symbol 'lame_init' in a dynamic libr...

If you had it working before you may want to investigate what you or Windows changed. Audacity did not change.

The official recommendation is not to save or export to network drives, but either way, it would appear your folder redirection is messed up.

Well how would you describe "focus"? Not easily ;) I'd describe a track as a container for some type of data (according to the track type). Track focus indicates the "track" (as distinct from the data) that we are currently acting on. For example, to pan, solo, mute, drag, toggl...

The mic is M-AUDIO vocal studio (it is delivered with the code for downloading the "Ignite" recording software, which I installed on my Mac, but I don't use it, because Audacity is much better and easier for me). The mic is compatible with Mac OS X (according to the manual). I have the ne...
