Re: Problem converting 24-bit FLAC to 16-bit FLAC

I happen to have a 2.0.4-alpha build that uses libsamplerate but there is no problem with import and export of a one minute tone at the bit depth / sample rates you mention most recently. I used libsndfile to import the FLAC which is default. If there is still a problem, please look at Help > Show L...

Re: Stereomix recording on Win7?

Sorry, but we can't see your computer and so it is hard to fix it for you if you have followed all the suggestions you have seen. Are you sure you have the correct drivers for the sound card made by the computer or motherboard manufacturer? If you have 64-bit Windows 7, are the sound card drivers 64...

Re: first wouldnt let me record, now wont even open

There are a few more things you can try but this kind of problem is usually some security program on the computer. Or you simply need to backup your files and personal data and reinstall Windows.

Re: Stereomix recording on Win7?

In Windows "Sound" you have to enable stereo mix by right-clicking over it. It can help also to make it default device (another right-click over stereo mix). Single-click selecting a device does not enable it or make it default. Having enabled stereo mix and made it default in Windows, res...

Re: Changing tempo on multiple files at once

What do you mean by compressing them? Do you want to save disk space or do you want them to play faster? The former can be achieved by resampling it to a lower sample rate. For the latter, you can also use the "Truncate Silence" effect, if the podcast has overlong pauses. I went with what...
