Re: Audacity exports MP3s and WAVs as a ".FILE" on Windows 7

I've had this problem for quiet some time but usually, when it happens, I export it as a .WAV (it still turns into .FILE), then I close and open audacity and drag in the .FILE and convert it into a MP3 or WAV (again) and that usually fixes the problem but now, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Has a...

Re: recording waveform too small

Audacity does not properly support MBox, that is why the Audacity input slider is not controlling MBox. MBox is meant for use with ProTools. If you haven't already done so you should try installing the DigiDesign OSX 10.5/10.6 Standalone CoreAudio drivers for third-party software. See http://tinyurl...

Please see "Deleting an Audacity project": http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_projects.html#delete . That link shows how to remove entries from the Audacity "Open Recent" list (that is, what it says about Recent Files). If you are not sure where all the projects are, y...

Re: How to see the details of wav file?

OK. I got that. I want to convert a 16bit 22KHz 2 Channel PCM WAV file to 8bit 22KHz 1 Channel PCM WAV file. How to do that? I want to know how to make a stereo to mono? If the Audacity project rate bottom left is not already at 22050 Hz, make it so (note, "22000 Hz" is non-standard). Sel...

Re: HELP Audacity/Lame to MP3 Please? It's not working.

Saying it "doesn't work" doesn't tell us what's wrong. Does Audacity say it cannot find the MP3 encoding library? Were you following http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#maclame ? Try this: Make sure you have quit Audacity (Command - Q) In Finder, Go > Go...

Re: Detecting occurences of a sound

The named set of parameters chosen for each track is saved with the project and is the selected set when you open the project next, even though the view will have reverted to "Waveform" (which I've noticed happens now, and is a good thing, given how slowly spectrograms can regenerate at t...
