Re: Desync issue Audacity 2.1.0 executable Windows 7-64

Nope that wasn't the issue, it seems to be a consistent offset, so what I sit in Audacity with both tracks and change speed until they align? Then that's probably good for every edit? It had to be tried but when you said Change Speed of 0.99970 approximately fixed it, that suggested it was an NTSC ...

Re: All my files have missing data

I haven't used Audacity in awhile, but when I did (probably last February) I made a bunch of recordings that were 20 minutes long for videos. Now I was about to export them as an mp4 or AIFF but when I open them, they give me the error message "Warning: Missing Audio Data Block Files". I'...

Re: Can´t start Audacity

Thanks for the details. Basically if Audacity worked a few weeks ago and did not otherwise change, then something on your Mac changed. Do the Apple Hardware Test in case faulty RAM is involved. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and check the file system. A corrupt file system could be a reas...

Re: File dialogs won't open

Perhaps you could use Event Viewer to see if an error is logged when you cannot open the file dialogues. If you want to try it, does "audacity-win-unicode-1.3.3.zip" from http://gaclrecords.org.uk/legacy/ have this issue? That version has the more modern "Vista style" save/open d...

Re: Always an additional "-project data" folder

All you have to do to hose down on Windows, Mac or Linux is to delete Audacity's folder for application data.

Re: Audacity 1.2.6 and Windows 10

The way it worked is that after I recorded an entire series of songs from my cassette player to Audacity on my laptop, via a USB cable, I would separate and name the tracks, by punching-in Ctrl+B. Then when finished, it would hit "export multiple WAV, and the individual tracks would be sent to...

Re: What do you call this sound? Is it possible to fix it?

To learn how to use Notch Filter and Equalization, see the Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/notch_filter.html http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/equalization.html . The best way to learn is to try. ;) Preview the results at different settings. Look in Plot Spectrum or Spectrogram to see ho...

Re: How do I write-protect a particular track?

Locking a track to prevent any editing has been asked for just once before. Note this would prevent you cutting, which is what you said first time.

There have been more requests that that to prevent accidentally time shifting a track. Is that what your concern is?

Re: Need help making a clean export to MP3

Now the only problem is that in the new MP3, you can hear more of a high background hiss. I checked the audacity file, and that hiss is indeed there pre-export. So, the lesser-quality export sounded bad but had the benefit of reducing background hiss. The lower bit rates do a low pass filter (that ...
