Using couple different mikes, as well as internal mike Internal mics and also cheap desktop microphones that plug into the computer mic port will have a mic boost. Open Windows Sound , click the Recording tab, right-click over the internal mic, Properties, then look on the "Levels" tab. R...

Using a batch WAV to MP3 converter will be much quicker than Audacity.

But if you want to apply specific effects to the files while you convert them, you might still prefer to use Chains.

I noticed when I generate silence by selecting to adjacent and aligned end-to-end tracks, I get 2 sets of these split lines in each track. You don't say what version of Audacity you are using (see the pink panel at the top of the page) but black split lines (one per track) are expected when generat...

I RUN this : cmd /k chkdsk /f i: > C:\chkdsk.txt Just to note that when you have an administrator command prompt as Robert2 describes you will need to change the drive letter to f: for your case, so: cmd /k chkdsk /f f: > C:\chkdsk.txt I corrected the code snippet in my previous post. Gale

Can you hear the YouTube video when you play it and try to record it using stereo mix? If not, that is what you must fix. For the WASAPI method, reboot the computer and make sure project rate bottom left of Audacity is 44100 Hz . Otherwise download the YouTube video using a browser extension. Use yo...

When I convert an album that has multiple artists, audacity gets some of the metadata wrong. What is does is asume that the artists name of the last song on the album is the artists name for each track. This is because Audacity is not yet able to store metadata for each track. The metadata stored w...

I have a fancy microphone attached to a box which has a usb connection to laptop running linux mint 17, I cannot get audacity to find it - it seems to be using some default onboard mic, the device toolbar and view-preferences are both greyed out. You don't give your Audacity version (see Help > Abo...
