Audacity Forum

I'm trying to read a text file as a sound file in Audacity. The text file is the values of an A Hz 440 sine wave that was produced in Processing. I've done this successfully using CoolEdit on PCs, but whenever I try it on my Mac with Audacity I'm getting weird noise signals that bare no realtion to...

I have a Numark TTUSB turntable , and an HP dx5150 desktop w/Windows XP Pro. I am using Audacity 1.2.6 All I'm trying to do is convert some of my vinyl tracks to files...I know I can export them as WAV files , I'm a little dubious about tackling MP3 conversion. The problem is that frequently when I...

...The Ion came with other software with which I do not experience the same distortion problem. So you have the same distortion occurring (only after recording for a while), and you get it both when recording LPs over USB, and cassettes over USB (via the Ion line-in). That still makes some sense (t...

I'm a little confused - I downloaded the code that Gale Andrews mentioned, with the Nyquist updates; and what I have seems to be an entire upgrade to Audacity. I was sort of expecting a plugin. Um - how do I install this?? I don't see a setup executable. Do I just copy the files over into the Audac...

The file opened this time. Could have been because I upgraded from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7, or perhaps, now that I think about it, on the previous attempt the file may have been on a USB drive & this time I copied it to the internal hard drive before trying to open it. That's quite possible - always mak...

Often if I open a long mp3 file with Audacity, even one that was created with Audacity previously, only the first 50 seconds or so appears... Using 1.3 Beta Unicode on XP machine with 111GB drive. And this mp3 file works -- I've played the whole thing on my iPod. Maybe I don't have enough RAM (512M...

I've been trying to add an effect (EQ) to a recording I'd done & each time, it gets fairly far in the adding process & it freezes up. I'm not sure where the problem lies- my laptop or Audacity itself. What to do? Are these long recordings and do you have the necessary disk space? If you lau...

Hi folks, I am still using Audacity 1.3 Beta (I plan to change to 1.3.7) but ... Q1: Why would I get a "Hissing Sound" when I am converting from a MP3 (192Kbps) to WAV. My Original Source does not have a Hissing! Q2: How can I avoid the newly intorduced Hiss? Q3: When using the Metadata E...

I have done a lot of searching on this site and I believe I am experiencing problems that are similar to the experience of several others. After I have been recording for some time (say, for one album side), I begin to get terrible feedback, etc. I am running on Vista, 4Gb of RAM, 50% free space on...

None of the other MP3 files reported to us which import incorrectly via LIBMAD have CD TOC frames, so there is some other problem in those cases. We've now fixed this in source code - the problem occurred where any of the ID3v2 tags (Music CD Identifier or whatever they were) were placed right at t...
