Re: Joining 2 mp3 files

Thanks for giving us your Audacity version and Windows version. You can join files thus in Audacity http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_editing.html#join . However given you want no effects, it's the wrong way to do it, because Audacity must re-encode the resulting file. This will degrade the j...

Re: It is possible export audio with more then 32 channels?

I should have said "normal MP3" is limited to 1 or 2 channels. Definitely that is a "normal" MP3. As far as I know there was only ever one freely available demo MP3 surround encoder, long since expired. But AAC multi-channel files are quite common. The free Nero AAC encoder can ...

Re: Help with corrupt wav file (IMA ADPCM)

Audacity can't help you - IMA ADPCM raw import has never worked. I tried http://sox.sourceforge.net/ (it's a command-line application) and also the quick-fix of copying the headers from the "working" file to the top of the non-working file (which actually produced the expected length for t...

Re: It is possible export audio with more then 32 channels?

MP3 & Mp4 only support 2-channels. Sorry, but neither of those is correct. MPEG-2 Part 3 allows up to 5.1 channels which is implemented in MP3 Surround (though Audacity does not support it when exporting with the "MP3 Files" choice). MP4, as part of Advanced Audio Coding allows 48 ful...

Re: Exporting to MP3 with Lame taking 14+ hours

I attached a screenshot of my task manager - looks like 20-30% of my CPU is being used with Chrome, Audacity, and the MP3 player open...I don't know if that's a lot, but it doesn't seem like it. The only thing that consumes an abnormal amount of memory is Task manager itself. Audacity is at zero pe...

Re: Help separating tracks

When I import the tracks they are all starting at 0:00 seconds and thereby overlap and all four play at the same time when I hit play. I need help importing the tracks so the intro plays (its 24 seconds in length) followed by Part 1 of the podcast, followed by part 2 and finally the outro without t...

Re: Help separating tracks

I changed the user name to "Jeffdevers", removing the e-mail domain. A good thing all around. I wonder if they're going to be able to find their way back... I always e-mail the user if I change their username. It would be better if we could reject e-mail addresses in user names at registr...

Re: Numeric text input widget for Nyquist plug-ins

And presumably that may mean not using a slider control, because it would be awkward to control that with keyboard arrow keys if the scale had many more steps? One possibility that I've been thinking about is the possibility of having separate validation for the slider and the text box. Essentially...

Re: Automatically Creates 2nd track

OK, I reloaded Audacity from your site. Same problem. More clarification: After recording for about 35 minutes, the recording stops. Our operator presses record again and of course a second track is started. This week she just paused the recording at 30 minutes and then started it again and it cont...
