Re: Audio removed from track

As no-one said it yet, the way to rename a project inside Audacity is File > Save Project As... . The project with the old name closes as it was last saved, and you are left with the project with the new name. From what you say, it seems that Audacity can now find the _data folder, and the orphan bl...

Re: Problem With Lame

There wasn't a link to the portable version of LAME for Windows on this page: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#lame I would be reluctant to add a link and separate instructions for how to deal with a zip file. Many novice (Windows) users of computers struggle ...

Re: Measures and Click Tracks...

There could be an option in "Generate > Click Track..." to produce either an audio track (as now) or a label track (like the "Beat Per Minute labels" plug-in), but the "Click Track" plug-in already has rather a lot of controls and there is not much room for more. Could...

I assume it's impossible with current Nyquist (or would risk a crash by keeping data in memory) but ideally (IMO) a Click Track generator would have an option to simultaneously generate labels at the beats (or bars).

Re: Measures and Click Tracks...

You can't snap to beats. You could label the beats using Analyze > Silence Finder... (reduce "Minimum duration of silence" and set "Label placement" to zero or a very small positive number like 0.005). Then you can drag select to the labels. Even that isn't perfect at zero "...

Re: I want to loop play at 8 times normal speed

I may be missing the point, but still. Define "Decimate". I thought that meant reducing sample rate. Do you mean you don't want to change the pitch, or you do want to ? Effect > Change Tempo or Effect > Sliding Time Scale speed up without changing pitch, but are lossy. You can't loop play ...

Re: Setting up, how to record drums?

However if the USB connection is MIDI but the drum kit has a line out or headphones out, and your computer has a blue line-in, you can record that way. Set the Audacity input device in Device Toolbar to line-in for the built-in sound card.

Re: plz help. can only record up to 2 sec

We cannot see your computer. What are you are trying to record? A YouTube video? A microphone plugged into the mic port on the computer? A USB cassette deck? If it is any kind of a USB device, make sure you are plugging into a spare USB port on the computer. Do not plug into a USB hub that has other...

Re: kbps ratios for saving files

what if turn on the record in Audacity to record a streaming audio. How does recording it affect the quality of the file? If the stream is at 320, what will the recording be? At the point you record, Audacity records losslessy in PCM. The recording Audacity makes is as good or bad as the streamed M...
