Re: recording cuts out after several seconds

Thanks for the log and the .aup. There does not seem anything obviously wrong with the structure of the .aup file, as far as I can tell. According to the log, you had some issue where you were being denied permission to write to C:Program Files (x86)Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode), where you had the .au...

Re: Upgrade 1.3.14 Causes Audacity to Crash

OK, then it probably isn't the (assumed) memory corruption that can be cured by reboot, but obviously if we are to find what the problem is, even file information from one of the files that is playing up would help. Clearly, resample is being cited in the crash, so the sample rate of one of these fi...

Re: Upgrade 1.3.14 Causes Audacity to Crash

Thanks for the crash report, but please either press the "Code" button and paste the report in-between the code tags, or atatch the file using "Upload attachment" underneath where you post messages. Otherwise the file is too long to read in a message window. There is a problem wh...

Re: Copy Metadata from old file to new file

Is there a way to copy the metadata of a file, and apply it to a new file? Generally, no. But if you open Metadata Editor, load or type some metadata, press "Set Default", then OK, then for example apply your chain to a WAV file that has no metadata, the MP3 you export from your chain wil...

Re: Recording individual tracks

Set Audacity to record from line-in which you say is the input your guitar is connected to. I am not sure why you have two line ins - do you have two physical line-in ports? If you are not already using Audacity 1.3.14 Beta, upgrade to it, then you can choose line-in (in theory) in Device Toolbar . ...

Re: Crash on sample rate change

saving as 16 bit would have done what I needed. Yes, saving as 16-bit WAV would have done what you wanted. You haven't told us how you were changing the sample rate in Audacity. Was it from 24000 to 20050 and were you doing this in "Project rate" bottom left of the Audacity screen or some...

Re: Cannot choose source

OK, so your computer sound device with its current drivers only has an input device for a built in microphone and an input device for the physical microphone input (which is probably coloured red). Have you read "HELP WITH RECORDING COMPUTER PLAYBACK OR STREAMING AUDIO" here: http://wiki.a...

Yes that's right. I've amended my previous post.
If I am not mistaken, I think you need two ENTER's.

The first ENTER closes the label.

The second ENTER deselects the label track.

Re: 24 bits truncated to 16 bits...

I see what you're doing and this is interesting because I've never tried this myself (I don't have a 24 bit sound card or Windows 7). When you export in an integer format, by default Audacity will dither the output. For your test, try disabling dither and see what happens. "File menu > Prefere...

Re: How to punch-in

I think you may need ENTER, ENTER after [*]"Ctrl B" to label the region - type "bad bit" as a name for the label. or you will split delete the label too. A quick and dirty method I sometimes use if there are good silences either side of the mistake and there are not multiple trac...
