Audacity Forum

I'm recording myself reading a play. Every time I stop, then start recording again, Audacity creates a new track but I don't want it to do that. I want to be able to specify a track and add my recording on the end of it. The idea is that the dialogue for person A will be on track 1 and the dialogue...

I've been using Audacity 1.3 Beta for putting sound over some gameplay videos. Everything was working fine earlier today, I had no changes to the computer, and Fraps and other programs are still able to record my mic with no problem. I press the record and the bars dont respond , I haven't changed ...

For me, after clearing the icon cache and rebooting, the Audacity icon has now reappeared on label-less icons.

Okay so a few weeks ago I installed Audacity 1.3 on my Windows Vista computer. At first it was working fine when I would cut and select clips, I could shrink the bars if I wanted.

Is it also somehow technically possible to use an "external" codec like FFDShow? I'm curious now! :) Yes in principle, choosing (external program) in the Export File window, which is a command line interface. I'm not 100% sure how to feed it an arbitrary path to the encoder, but if you pu...

I've just installed the new beta version of Audacity here, along with the FFMPEG libraries. I was surprised that mp3 encoding still wanted to use the LAME encoding library only, since encoding the mp3 format is one of FFMPEG's specialties, and I thought Audacity would use the second library if the ...

We have been working fine with Audacity using it to pick up recordings from a Sony digital dictaphone and from a childrens play keyboard. We have not plugged these into the computer. It has been fine for my son so far. We are pretty basic in our use and understanding. We have used the mic that is a...

I am using the new windows 7 beta version and have a standard installed realtek soundcard. I am recording with an M Audio Producer USB mic and when I do basic recording and burn to a CD and play on my home stereo system the left channel sounds great but I get a lot of static on my right channel tha...

I reinstalled Audacity with the same results. It's not the end of the world, but I'd like to have the icon. Any ...
