Re: Audio disappearing as Audacity records

we're doing pre-records for programs, so a mix of music and vocal and the recording failures are rare, random and total, and cured by closing and opening Audacity. When it happens rather than sounding filtered, the audio just disappears altogether. Did you read my suggestions at http://forum.audaci...

Re: Download language problems

Even if you have Windows displaying in English you must have the "Format" in "Change date, time or number formats" in the Windows Control Panel set to Swedish. Either set that to English or change Audacity preferences to English locale as described here: http://manual.audacitytea...

Re: Noise Reduction Algorithm - Papers/References?

If Noise Removal is used in a Chain and a Noise Profile does not exist, if the Chain is applied to files, the first file (all of it) is used to create the Noise Profile If correct, that is clearly inappropriate, until we have "intelligent" noise reduction that gathers its own profile from...

Re: Duplicate recordings

If you want to export only one of the recordings, another method would be to click on the [X] top left of the other two tracks to close them, leaving only the good recording.

About 3 months ago I could upload a wav file into audacity convert it to mp3 and bam, I was done. But now, if I do that, I can't play it back or hear it. Open Device Toolbar and in the second ...

Re: Way to reduce MP3 file size w/out losing too much qualit

Using Audacity is 2.0.3 on Win 8/64 bit machine. I suggest using the current 2.0.5 would be better. You can get it from http://audacityteam.org/download/windows . I have thousands of MP3 files mostly ripped at 128 bit rate. I want to reduce the size of them all, but am concerned about losing a ton ...
