Audacity Forum

I've just got the Behringer UCA2020 device - referenced by people at the start of this thread - and I've made a recording onto the laptop (which uses Windows 7). The only problem is I can't hear it afterwards. I've gone through the manual and the troubleshooting but still can't work out what's wron...

Unfortunately the AUP contains only a load of nulls so it is of no use in opening the project. Did you wait for the project to save before exiting Audacity? Did you see a "Crash Recovery Dialogue" when you opened Audacity, before you tried to open the AUP file? Do you have a previously sav...

I notice that recalling a saved User Preset in a generator does not change the duration controls in the effect. If it did, that "might" provide a way for a generator to specify a duration in a Chain.

Either way, that appears to be a bug.

How are you Inserting Silence? As audacityalex said, Silence (Generate Silence) is being added to a Chain. Your Time Offset appears real to you on the timeline and should stick as part of the show. This is a known problem and is being addressed. That is nothing to do with this topic, though. Gale

I think this is as expected when you apply the Chain to files. Effects are applied to the whole audio file because there is no way in most effect interfaces to specify the duration to be applied. Generators were recently added to Chains, perhaps without too much thought, but the length control in a ...

I would like to submit an Audacity bug. When I try, I am asked for an account/password which appears to differ from this forum account. On "Ask for a Bugzilla account", I am supposed to "Launch an Application" (?) which seems to take me nowhere. That is because the link is an e-...

How long is that clip, then we can identify it? Your link plays two different clips. My bad. the one titled 'error', and it's 12 seconds. If it's the attached, I cannot hear clicks or dropouts, sorry, but my ears are late middle-aged. If that file is still a problem please state time points where t...

What exactly was that message? Audacity supplied by us should not show a message that says what you quote, explicitly asking you to "update" and "install DLL's". It might say it requires LAME to encode MP3's, or FFmpeg to read or write certain types of audio file. It was the box...

Yes I like the added vinyl "warmth" and willingly accept that is mostly a distortion of reality. I will also add that the bright "glare" that was a big problem with early CD's and can still be a problem now is also a "distortion of reality" (in the opposite direction f...

Thank you for the suggestions, None of the 3 approaches made a difference DC offset Fade In High Pass Filter You did say High Pass helped on the first syllable. I'm going to go with Gale's third suggestion which is re-record the chapter In case it helps, you might be able to just re-record the sent...
