What is that? It certainly isn't a version of Windows.

If this is for a legal case, use your favourite search engine to look for "audio forensics". Only qualified forensics practitioners will have the credentials to provide legally admissible evidence.

I'm recording audio from a music video I downloaded from YouTube using the "FFmpeg Import/Export Library". It's an old song by Bob Dylan that was originally recorded in mono but YouTube has it as two identical stereo channels. Perhaps this is the issue because true stereo YouTube download...

LP's last longer than CD's - fact. ;) "under recommended storage conditions, CD-R, DVD-R, and DVD+R discs should have a life expectancy of 100 to 200 years or more;" http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub121/sec4.html If that is not long enough, you can make bit-perfect copies of CDs period...

Audicity recommends 24dB rolloff and 20-30hz cutoff. Can someone explain to me what this means? What happens when the rolloff is higher? Or the cutoff? The filter will act from 30 Hz down. Well no, actually. Perhaps counterintuitively, with pass filters the cut-off is the frequency where 3dB of att...

OK so which workflow is better: 1. Record in 32 bit, export 32 bit for clickrepair and import back in to Audacity for edits, then export to 16 bit for CDs. There's a bit of confusion here. You don't record in 32 bit. The only reasonable choices are 16 or 24. None of us has hardware that is capable ...

Don't forget though about the bug Exporting from integer internal formats to files in same format or higher adds unwanted dither noise . That is not too much of a problem though, ...

I always hated the "snap", "crackle", and "pop". Me too! That's why I don't buy VG records :D Most record grading schemes don't take blemishes into account that were there when the record was new. It always annoyed me that if I bought a "Near Mint" record it ...

it's "standard practice" to dither when downsampling, even though you can't hear dither (or the effects of dither) at 16-bits or better under any normal/reasonable listening conditions. It depends on the music. You can hear dither in headphones in very quiet classical music. When Audacity...
