Re: 24-Bit Recording Status

In System Tray > Recording Devices > Recording > Properties > Advanced > Default Format only one sample rate is available, which is in this case 2 channels, 24 bit, 96000 Hz. Thus the box is grayed out and there is nothing to select or set up. As I wrote: My USB device is capable of one sample rate...

If you tell us where to obtain the ".googlecode. thing" we could check it out. Do you mean that was a plugin, or some .so file that Audacity should not even have tried to enable?

Be aware that even if you increase their bit rate, you are still degrading their quality.

We leave feature requests open for a month and will then archive it, which makes it locked.

Re: Audacity Recovery Error

I took a screenshot. Above what is shown there is more of the "Warning: Missing data block file" Thanks. The log is self-explanatory I am afraid. The temporary files were no longer there, so Audacity replaced them with silence (made them silent rather than be missing, which would be a per...

So my labels are now in the wrong place.
Either hold SHIFT and press DOWN arrow to extend the selection into the label track, or enable Sync-Locked Track Groups at Tracks > Sync-Lock Tracks.

Re: OT but I need help in cutting long interviews

I am not a journalist, but how are you recording the interviews? It seems to me you should place some markers while you are recording to flag the vital pieces. Many portable recorders will do that, although Audacity cannot read the markers they save in the file.

Re: Audacity Recovery Error

Hi! So I had unsaved Audacity files on my desktop and then my computer died. I turned my computer back on and audacity automatically recovered my files. But then it gave me an error message telling me to go to help > show log because the waveforms are not there. Does the log say the files are missi...

Re: Low volume reproducing a file

What exactly are you recording? Are you sure the recorded waves are always fairly tall? If the audio playback volume is changing even when the Audacity playback slider is on maximum, then Skype could be interfering, if you have that. Or you may not have proper drivers for your audio device, which co...

Re: How to 'Uncompress' Audio File

If you want to work within Audacity, use File > Save Project... which is lossless. Audacity already autosaves important changes to your work so you don't have to keep saving the project at every edit. Just File > Save Project... from time to time. If the work is extensive and will take days or weeks...

Re: Electronic Drums and Audacity

Just to add, if using an external hardware sequencer, use the MIDI in and out cables on the drum kit as described in the drum kit manual.

If using computer software to record MIDI, use the drum kit's USB output.
