Audacity Forum

I read through the Soundflower instructions/tutorial, and I don't understand even half of it. One quick question: If I don't intend to add any sounds to what I'm recording - if I'm simply recording directly from the Internet - do I need to fool with the Max 6 patch that's referred to? No. Or is tha...

Hello, I am new to Audacity. I operate on Mac OS 10.8.2 and installed from dmg. I am doing nature field recordings and will record in Linear PCM 24 bit 48 kHz.Is Audacity capable of converting these files into WAV? Linear PCM is a confusing term, usually taken to mean PCM at higher than the 44100 H...

I agree some people seem to mean "inharmonic" distortion when they say "enharmonic", but some seem to mean (as far as I can tell) a beating of a foldover aliased frequency with a nearby unaliased frequency. So it's another (not really correct?) usage of "close by". See ...

Audacity froze relatively soon after my last post, i tried to fix it again with Restarting, Resetting preferences, uninstalling, etc, but to no avail. I have the same problem as i did last time where when i go to open, it does not launch, but then will tell me a copy is already made when i try to o...

I am still confused about how to make tracks louder in general, my tracks always seem a little quieter than a lot of other music i listen to, any idea why? Is it just because of my recording quality?

Hi. I've got some legacy Audacity files that I need to convert to MP3s. Following the wiki's instructions, I upgraded to 2.0.2 and tried to go to the Lame download page, but it won't load. The error message reads: "Oops. Google Chrome cannot connect to lame1.buanzo.com.ar" http://manual.a...

It is beyond me why this program deliberately chops pieces out of my track upon recovery, calling them "orphan blocks"...I have a radio show, "Shakehouse Circus Radio" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwgX-WbvsNI all that is left of hours and hours of recording How many hours? A...

Vote? Entirely up to you. Are you saying "I want to have 10 tracks, and be able to balance them correctly without having to turn each track down by the same amount until it doesn't clip"? If so, I would guess you would like a feature so that Audacity automatically scales the amplification...

The idea is to use the gain sliders in the Track Control Panel (or in Mixer Board) so that none of the audio peaks in the combined result clip above 0 dB. As Steve already explained, mixing tracks increases the overall volume. If the contents of two tracks are identical, it doubles the volume. If th...

It is always best to start a new topic when you need help, for example you may not be on the same operating system as the person whose topic you attached to.
