Re: FFmpeg installation: Cannot find plugin

I don't have the Lame _Library folder ... ? But I have installed the Lame Library 3.908.2 but cannot find the same folder as you have anywhere on my HD. Lame installs by default to /usr/local/lib/audacity . Mac won't let you see that folder by default. See here for how to show hidden files and fold...

Re: FFmpeg installation: Cannot find plugin

Do you see the F, C and U numbers opposite "FFmpeg Library Version" in the Audacity Libraries Preferences? If not, Audacity can't see FFmpeg. When you click "Locate..." for FFmpeg, does it say "Success"? If it does, and you press "Yes" to locate the library ma...

Re: Recordings sound as if they were made in a tunnel

I've tried switching the bitrate up to 3X I ignored that because I assumed the files already sounded like they were "made in a tunnel" before you tried to re-encode them (which is pointless, as Steve said - you can never improve a file by re-encoding it, only keep it in the same quality i...

Re: F1 Engine sound file edits needed

Yes Audacity can edit the WAV files but you have to do it yourself. You haven't said what effects you want or how you want to alter the sound. Tell us that then we'll make some suggestions.

You can also read this page and the links thereon to get some ideas: Edit - Audacity Manual .

Re: Can't seem to Set Default in Metadata Editor

Using Audacity 2.0.5 Alpha, I can save and load metadata but if I "Set Default", the next time I run Audacity it still starts off with the previous default. I have the intended default saved already so I can just load it, but didn't Set Default once apply to subsequent editing sessions? I...

Re: Audio Blanked and Orphan Block files error

So last night I had done a solid one and a half hours of recording for a my YouTube channel, and seemingly for once, everything had gone right, Audacity hadn't crashed, the project files were saved and ready to use and everything was going my way. You want to fix your computer if Audacity is contin...

That's not a useful reply. Have you worked out what you want to do, or not?

I merged the topics, deleted your duplicate post then moved the topic to the correct board for Windows.

Re: Crackling audio playback - multiple formats and volume l

I too have the same issue, so let me add to this to help identify the issue. It records crackling, and with Mac you are forced to use a program we are all well aware of for the most part, SoundFlower. You only need Soundflower if you want to record computer playback. If you use Windows Vista and la...

Re: Recording, Pause, Cut, Unpause

Audacity edits files on your computer. You can pause & re-start recording, but you cannot edit "live". That's how all audio/video editing is done on a computer. I quibble with Audacity not being able to edit while paused. This is almost a daily issue on the Forum. Even if you can work...
