Re: recording two sides of cassette tape at once

the export was not an option was greyed out but it is there now Many menu options are greyed out when playing, recording or paused. Press the yellow Stop button in Audacity when you want to edit or export. However as for the second part of the problem, the REAL problem, we are not on the same page ...

Re: Error Initializing Audio with USB Audio Interface is on

Because I play music I use Cakewalk Sonar and use M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB audio interface. I decide to power that down and to my surprise Audacity came up without the error message and it showed the Audio Device info. As described on Windows 10 OS - Audacity Wiki , current Audacity has a probl...

Re: Audacity.app 2.1.1 is corrupt in .DMG

I could not get Audacity 2.1.1 to run ("The application, "Audacity", can't be opened") after installing with the .dmg download on 10.11.1 (El Capitan). If you also saw a message that Audacity was from an "unidentified developer", the solution would be to right-click or...

Re: Top of Audacity window hidden by Menu Bar

Update to Audacity 2.1.2 when it is released hopefully in about a week. http://audacityteam.org/download/mac. The problem should be fixed in that release.

Re: question about change timescale change to 432hz

i have heard the slowing the speed gives a cleaner result. it is much faster. It is a "simpler" resampling operation. When you try to maintain the original tempo at the lower frequency, it is a more "complex" operation that has to "squash" the audio shorter than the le...

Re: Converting files to WAV and digitizing cassettes

As far as I'm aware, you should be able to import DSS files into Audacity if you install FFmpeg according to the instructions here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown If the sample DSS files I have are typical, that requires a more recent FFmpeg than FFmp...

Re: Distorts Files

Also you may have a bogus version of Audacity. See the pink panel at the top of the page. If you have Audacity supplied by us and the track length is correct, are you aware that multiple tracks play mixed together in Audacity? If that's the problem, press Solo on the track you want to hear on its ow...

Re: Input routing problem; recording Finale Notepad

Well, Finale Notepad has no means of exporting audio from the synthesizer, just XML of the document. What I need is a way to rout the Finale audio to Audacity input, while it is playing. I agree it is better to export as Standard Audio File (WAV) but if the headphones port has the audio you want yo...
