Re: FFmpeg library not found

I'm pleased to say this is now working fine -- it seems when I was set up with admin privileges, not all admin priveleges are created equal! ;) I did not have the privilege to install the FFmpeg into the necessary root folders. Once that was corrected, I ran a script file to delete the old installa...

Re: Multi-channel Recording in Audacity

I do believe that ASIO software packages can manage multi-channel gracefully under many difference circumstances. I also believe that you can compile Audacity with internal ASIO functionality... There seems to be a requirement that if you do get one of these systems to work, that you not speak abou...

Re: How I can upload an attachment ?

I've added .ods and .xls to allowable document formats (but there is a limit of 1 MB per attachments of any format).

Images allowed are gif, jpeg, jpg, png, tga, tif, tiff.

Re: Getting the recorded WAV file as small as possible

Some people may not be able to play GSM WAV. No, I don't agree. That codec is standard in Windows anyway. That's the point. Some people are on Mac and GNU/Linux OS'es. Personally, I am partial to u-law. I've even encoded .avi files with it at times. It encodes the samples on a logometric scale inst...

Re: Combine Multiple Tracks

No, unfortunately Audacity lacks an automatic way to align existing tracks end-to-end. You can select each track in turn, hit END to move the cursor to the end of the project then Project > Align Tracks > Align with Cursor. That does at least mean the track starts and ends are precisely aligned. The...

Re: windows 7 ou est stereo mix ?

Vous n'avez pas besoin de mixage stéréo pour l'enregistrement de cassettes et LPs. Enregistrer d'USB tourne disques avec "USB Audio Codec" dans Périphériques Préférences en Audacity. Enregistrer de la cassette en la connectant à la line-in de carte mère et choisir line-in dans Périphérique...

Try File > Recent Files in Audacity. If the file is not found, search your computer for *.aup, which should list all .aup files that are available. Include hidden files and folders in the search.

Re: Getting the recorded WAV file as small as possible

Audacity always records in lossless PCM so the recording settings are largely irrelevant to those you export at. You can reduce the Quality preferences to use 16-bit sample format, and reduce sample rate (project rate bottom left of the Audacity window) to 22050 Hz. This will give you good quality m...

Re: can not import audio files

Please note that Audacity doesn't officially support latest svn FFmpeg, only 0.5.x. I only have one .APE File to hand but it imports fine using FFmpeg 0.5.x on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. I suggest you convert the .APE at the command line in svn FFmpeg and see if there is a problem there: $ FFmpeg -...
