I think Windows Vista and later will by default always set to mono a plug and play USB audio device that has no manufacturer-supplied drivers.

I'm sure different people have different preferences. I thought you had turned dithering off? Since you are not down-sampling your bit-depth, you shouldn't be dithering. There is still a case that you should dither in a 16-bit project if you are processing the audio by running effects (if you are m...

Can you write more words about "band-limited" in this context? Sure. Here's a signal that rises from silence to -2 dB in 1 microsecond: This is the same signal that has been band-limited to 48000 Hz So how exactly did you do that? Why should it be done? What point are you making? Suppose ...

I doubt this is the answer but so we know, right-click or CTRL + click over the Audacity 2.0.5 application, choose "Get Info". Check (tick) the box "Prevent App Nap".

I still don't understand how renaming them would cause them to become out of order, and more frequently than each block at that. Each block file is only about 0.7 seconds of audio if we are talking about a 32-bit mono 384000 Hz recording. Did you sort the files into time order before renaming them?...

I did not edit the audio before I saved it. As i said in an earlier post I just saved the audio, closed it, changed the name, and when I tried to open it back up everything went to hell. I did look at what you said: I recorded 3.5 hours of audio and then saved the file. Once Done I noticed I had na...

So far I have renamed all of the files in the d folders and have only recovered folder "d21" which has 202 files. BTW, the audio is mono so I'm not sure if there are different settings I should have the recovery process on. Thanks. If you have a 32-bit project (which is the default unless...

Now that the audio is recovered there is actually a new problem. The audio jumps around the recording every which way and the audio only stays constant for a little less than a second each time. After that it jumps to a different part of the audio, but you can clearly tell we are talking. If you me...

What is the process now that the files have all been renamed? Once the AU files are time sorted and renamed, you use the 1.2 Recovery Utility to make a Recovery WAV (or one Recovery WAV for the left channel and one for the right channel if it was a stereo recording). @LC3, have you so far only rena...

1.5 hours at 384000 Hz (whether mono or stereo). So the show would have been produced with actual damaged data, or perfectly fine data if Audacity could read it? Enter: Audacity 2.0.6-Alpha. If there were no other problems with the project, the audio data in the saved project is fine. The problem i...
