Re: Newbie problem: Micky Mouse speed playback of file

this problem, which seems to occur on saving, because the speed-up isn't apparent, when I do a preview before accepting a change of a particular word (in amplification or normalisation to trim the red bars). So you are saying that the audio in these files remains the correct length, but sounds spee...

Re: high pitched background noise when recording from stereo

Noise & DC offset are almost always analog-hardware related. They perhaps "ought" to be in cause, but I've seen correction of software issues correct noise issues often enough to know that software affects it too. Total Recorder ($18 USD and up) can "capture" the streaming a...

Re: Audacity Effects Interface Issues

The Killerringer I have (I don't know where I got it from) appears to be a very old text-based plug-in. It produces the text box input if you use Audacity 1.3.7 Beta or previous and use the VST-Bridge. Please see http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/VST_Plug-ins#legacy . If you need 1.3.7 you can get i...

Re: desperate

went into Application audacity and deleted, but not Newprefsinitialized=1. If you mean you went into Documents and Settings<your user name>Application DataAudacity and deleted audacity.cfg, that will not reset the Audacity 2.0.x settings, given you had Audacity 1.2 before. What you did will ensure ...

Re: vinyl effect plug-ins

no the VST folder is empty ! There are two folders called "VST" where Audacity looks for VST plug-ins, as I described. so re-scan will do nothing . You should rescan, I think. If the rescan finds iZotope in the "Install VST Effects" dialogue, uncheck iZotope, then it will not ap...

Re: 2.0.2 on Vista - Clicking black merge line crashes Audac

Sometimes, when you click the merge line after silencing, it crashes. It doesn't hang before crashing like normaly a program do. The crash window appear instantly. Sometimes it happen, sometimes not. But given that we are having the same issue I think it's a audacity problem. I'm using the 2.0.5. W...
