Audacity Forum

I'm making gaming content on YouTube and my goal is to be able to record both my mic audio and game audio into Audacity so I can edit with both in mind. Use auto ducking while I'm speaking, make sure both can be heard, fix audio range (not sure I'm using that right) etc. Audacity does not apply eff...

I started a new topic for you in the Mac board. The topic you joined was for Windows. Split from http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=85042&start=10#p275486 Click "Save in:" at the top of the Save Project window and click "Desktop". If you can't save there t...

The problem is that i'm not trying to record the headset microphone. I am trying to record the actual sound which is a playback device in windows.

I've had a copy of TextWrangler for some years but it has become extremely slow to launch on Sierra, and sometimes never launches properly.

I also know of Brackets which is certainly fast and perhaps easier than TextWrangler for a simple edit.

I've found that editing AUP files in TextEdit in Sierra can corrupt the file.

That's delightful news. Editing or just viewing?

Editing. I'll have to test further.

What are you trying to do? Create a broadcast radio program from best-quality, costless, ripped soundfiles. Koz Well, you can listen to the files after importing them. For the same file size, OGG is probably higher quality than all but the highest bit rate MP3's. OPUS files are very small. For clas...
