Re: Posting Sound

4 seconds is tight, but usually sufficient. Flac or Zip would almost double that. Are Flac files allowed? mp3, ogg and wav is all that's allowed. Can add wma, ra and m4a (ignoring movie files). Would have to turn FLAC on somewhere in the php files on the server. Most archives are allowed (7z, zip, ...

Re: 1.3.12 Beta released

To answer your question, click Edit > Preferences: Interface tab on the left and change language to English. If this is the first time you used any Audacity version, then the language preference will be set to "System" and you will see whatever language the operating system uses.

Re: Increase input volume for system sound

Audacity tries to give you the convenience of a direct way to select the input source and a direct way to control the input level on the hardware. This isn't always easy, and for it to work it is very dependent on the sound device having up-to-date drivers meant for the particular operating system a...

Re: power hum when recording from tape reel machine

I'd concur with Steve. No workarounds for the computer. It has to go into a three-pin socket (or three-pin adaptor). If you are in an area that uses two-pin plugs as well as three-pin, it should be easy to get adaptors both ways (2 > 3 and 3 > 2). So you want to plug the computer into an adaptor tha...

Re: Waveform view corrupted in all versions from 1.3.4 - tru

A bug 21561 has been raised with xorg. To summarise all that: * If you disable UMS (user mode setting) and use KMS (kernel mode setting) the bug will probably go away * xorg have made a patch that disables "EXA solid" acceleration and this seems to work around the issue If you don't want t...

Re: New forum logo

I think we should have an Audacity Gallery. There's been some great "Audacity" artwork published here on the forum and on the mailing lists, but who knows where those images are now. I have a lot of those images stored, but have lacked the time to load them into Proposal New Logo . Users ...

Re: Posting Sound

The global maximum attachment size set in the control panel is 1 MB, in fact I just raised it from 750 kb yesterday. I think there is a hardcoded limit of 2 MB in php.ini, though that can be changed. I'm not clear unless I try it if I can specify a different size for specific extensions or extension...

Re: MP3 distortion

I also noticed the Audacity schizophrenic shift in that it's 16-bit in the raw file, it's 32-bit when I get it into Audacity. Expected, assuming your default bit depth is 32-bit: WAV Imports via libsndfile (bit depth) Quality setting File Format Imports as 16 16 16 16 24 32 16 32 32 24 16 24 24 24 ...

Re: Audacity freezing, skipping and crashing?

If you have one stereo track to begin with and your splits are just to break that track into CD tracks, consider using labels to mark the splits. Then you can keep it all on one track. See:
http://audacityteam.org/help/faq?s=files&i=split

Make sure you have DMA enabled.
