Re: Feedback/stuttering/static for longer recordings

Thanks. I can send you a clip of what I am talking about. But I am certain that this is not a cartridge problem but an Audacity problem. I connected a second (non-Ion) turntable and the problem persists. I am using version 1.3.7. The stuttering seems to stop when I stop recording and then start aga...

Re: Exported wav file won't play in Windows Media Player

I just tried it here. I record with Audacity (1.3.6), do all my track editing in there, then export the tracks as 24 bit WAV files, import them into Cubase SE for mixing, then I use Audacity to make the MP3 and 16 WAV for my demo CD's. The final tracks play fine in WMP. The raw exported WAV files (...

Re: Exported wav file won't play in Windows Media Player

There's nothing wrong with those files (great tune too) BTW, the mp3 file is 16 bit, not 32 bit - it may have been made from a 32 bit file, but when converted to mp3 it is changed to 16 bit. As far as I understand it, MP3s do not store bit depths at all but simply describe how to reconstruct a cont...

Re: Joining multiple MP3 files to create one large file

I'm interested in being able to join tracks together also. My reasons are different. I've had to place a lot of old vynal with the newer "re-mastered" CD versions. I'll use a Pink Floyd piece as an example. Originally, the title piece for the old album "Atom Heart Mother", consi...

Re: Export drops last sample

Thanks for the analysis Gale. Where would be the right place to track this issue if I want to keep tabs on it? We've committed a code change that should fix this, you can test it by running this development build . If you want to, you could get an account on the Wiki and then look at the P3 bugs on...

Re: Exported wav file won't play in Windows Media Player

I have the same problem with 1.3.5. All files exported to MP3 can be played with iTune and iPod, but not with WMP. After I downgraded to 1.3.4, it worked. WMP was expecting Little Endian style tags and our tag library was writing Big Endian. It's fixed in our source code: http://www.gaclrecords.org...

Re: ID3 tags, Unicode, and Windows Media Player?

I can see this is a problem in Windows Media Player, but I can also see that iTunes, Foobar and VLC can play MP3s encoded by Audacity with Unicode tags just fine. So the culprit isn't clear. The problem was that our tag library writes tags in Big Endian (Mac-style) byte order but WMP and Explorer e...

Re: Out - of - phasing

If the inbuilt sound device is so finnicky that playback pitch goes off as soon as you plug a USB turntable in, I still think you should update the drivers of the inbuilt device, so they are the latest ones specific to your particular computer model and version of Windows, as supplied by the device ...

Re: Audacity 1.3.7 crashes while compressing

The Recent Files menu has been "improved" recently so it should now be listing files properly, including those dragged in, which it did not before. You're right that we've lost the previous ability to show the full path, I'll see if we can reinstate that. In fact, it seems this is a weakn...

Re: Audacity 1.3.7 crashes while compressing

I just installed 1.3.8 - I now have 3 versions of Audacity, the stable version and two betas. Things seem to be OK as long as I don't try to run more than one version at a time! Well we only said you could install more than one version, not run more than one :) You can run multiple instances of Aud...
