Audacity Forum

This has happened to me the past two times I've recorded. I have my audacity file that sounds absolutely fine when it's in audacity but as soon as I export it the track skips just little sections (like 5 seconds) almost constantly. I've tried exporting as WAV and as MP3 and it happens either way. T...

As far as I know, there's no software to make an adult voice sound (realistically) like a child or a female sound like a male, etc. Simply changing the pitch won't do it. You also have to change the timbre of the voice. The "best" free voice gender changer is usually thought to be Rovee ....

For removing the noise in the spaces or pauses of voice recording, I prefer the old Noise Removal tool. If the noise is loud, or part of the noise is random bumps and bangs that Noise...

The AUP file you attached is empty. It can't be used. Please tell us more about what you did before saving that project. Was it a recording?

Interestingly, they both cut the usage way down the same amount when either minimized or hidden where Audacity 2.1.1 or 2.1.0 made little ...

can you confirm that there is no setting that allows automatic recording volume level in audacity to avoid distortion/red bars/clipping? any version free or paid for? I already answered that in the negative, so there is no need to confirm that answer. ;) There is no paid version of Audacity. It is ...

When you need help please assist us by giving us the information from the pink panel at the top of the page. I recorded a dozen audios in a creative period, not wanting to lose my momentum I did not stop and save after each. Suddenly I had a poweroutage and my cpu shut off, audacity saved my work, h...

Wrong Forum - I am on a mac, sorry!

So was deleting the two plugin*.cfg files the solution? You did say "I run Win 7".
