Re: Live recording in Limbo

Audacity has no effect called "Light Gate" - what is the name of the effect you were actually running? If it's a Nyquist effect it might struggle with 22 hours or so of data, depending what effect it was. 'Volumes' is a mount point for your disk drives as I understand it. Do you have a dis...

Re: Simple BPM counter

Found I had to lower the threshold to detect compound time more accurately but I guess that's expected. Would I assume this could not be combined with a labelling function e.g. after labelling (if requested) it throws its message box? I understand the BPM detection is only done done on the first min...

Re: Audacity Error While Opening Sound Device

What is the three-digit version number of Audacity are you using (Audacity > About Audacity)? Have you changed any settings in Audacity? If you are using the current 1.3.13 Beta, try Transport > Rescan Audio Devices. Try 44100 Hz project rate bottom left of the Audacity window. If that does not help...

Re: MP3 Exports (sometimes, more times not)

It was the file names i was using; i had - & . in them and it seemed to cause the problem. There is no reason you can't use "-" and "&" in a file name (though it might create problems if you send the file to someone else or use it on the internet). But the dot (.) is tre...

Re: what settings for audio cache?

Turn Audio Cache OFF if you don't understand it. If you do not get recording problems with it off, then you don't need it. As I said, Audio Cache (if turned on) takes 20 MB per minute of RAM when you are recording, Some or all of this will be swapped out to your page file , so that your page file wi...

Re: Audacity freezes....

See Audacity > About Audacity for your version. We need to know the full three-digit number.

Is it a USB turntable? If so, try removing and reattaching the USB cable, try a new or shorter cable, and plug into a spare USB port, not a USB hub.

Re: Need just a bit of help compiling with LADSPA categories

As far as I know, you won't be able to compile with LADSPA categories and LV2 support. The configure commands you would have used: --with-redland use Redland for reading RDF data --with-slv2 use SLV2 for loading LV2 plugins --with-liblrdf use liblrdf for categorisation of LADSPA plugin were ripped o...

Re: Help with audio recovery (Out of phase)

First, a common reason for crashes at the end of recording is using Audacity 1.2.6 on Windows Vista or 7. On those systems please use Audacity Beta . You could try any of the tools listed here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CrashRecovery#Automatic_recovery_tools . Normally, recordings made in 1....

Re: what settings for audio cache?

"Audio cache" uses 20 MB of RAM per minute of stereo recording (at default quality settings) to make the recording. It also uses RAM for most edits afterwards, which uses lots of RAM because the entirety of any edit is stored so that you can undo it. The main danger of enabling it is that ...
