Re: centering recording tracks

When I minimize Audacity to about 1/2 size horizontally to allow for a split screen when recording,(I post material to be recorded on the left half) the recording track is not centered on my Dell Inspiron laptop. This does not happen with my dell desk top. I agree that can be irritating - it's prob...

Re: ???Why cant I get my labelled album to Media Player??

sorry, dont think you all are dense! just a little frustrated with the new op sys. I use windows media player because it works, and that is where all my music is. Yes WMP updates are confusing. And it's a nuisance if you have all your files in Media Player already. The point is though, unless you t...

Re: Removing a Chain - MP3 Conversion

The most you can do is change the parameters of "MP3 Conversion" to those of the effect you want and accept it won't be called what you want.

Re: Static while recording, sometimes

USB shouldn't be acquiring noise from physical sources of noise once the signal is digital. USB can be prone to RF noise at the sampling stage, just before it becomes digital, but I agree Sombunya's MP3 does sound like some kind of "stream management" problem.

Re: Plot Spectrum drop-down settings not sticking

How did I reset preferences? Per Steve's instructions(dated October 10): If you are using the current Audacity 2.0.2 installer there is an option to reset preferences. Audacity 2.0.2 is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/" OK, so if you did that reset after choosing your settings...

Re: Playback sound quality lousy

I just installed 2.0.2 on Windows 7 Home Premium; I'm sorry I don't know how to find the Windows version, but if it helps I purchased the HP computer three weeks ago. I did a test record of an internet radio station with project rate set to 44100. The playback sounded like it was in a tunnel, like ...

Re: extension sometimes requested when exporting MP3

Ok. So the file type extension warnings I randomly get remain a mystery. Probably a Vista mystery. But thanks for tabling all of the known reasons for the warnings. As ever, it's impossible to comment without specifics - exactly what the message says (attaching an image is good) and exactly what st...

Re: ???Why cant I get my labelled album to Media Player??

Windows Media Player doesnt need to 'support' Audacity, I just want to send my audacity wav projects there! To my music library! What is stopping you doing that? What version of Windows are you using? Maybe it's Windows that has changed. Find out where your Windows Media Player Library is and expor...
