Re: Lose Debate, Post Last Word, Lock Topic, Erase VOTE?

Trolling in an aggressive manner was the reason your previous post was locked. Your vote and that of others has not been "erased". See http://wiki.audacityteam.org/w/index.php?title=Feature_Requests&action=history . FWIW there are about a dozen votes for "trust the user and don't ...

You can attach an image: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=64936 if that is an explanation about what you mean by making a single track.

Re: audacity 2.1.0 + xp sp3 error

Audacity does launch on XP SP3 without Visual Studio which is the main case. I notice that Visual Studio 2013 should not be installed on less than Windows 7 SP1, according to Microsoft ( https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-2013-compatibility-vs.aspx ). If you are a developer I ...

Re: Comparing Noise Removal/Reduction between 2.0.6 and 2.1.

the sensitivity option limit "0.00" is a bit unlucky. With this setting, the noise reduction is actually bypassed--in reduction mode and apart from some -80 dB residual noise--and the manual should say so. I agree - the Manual says 0 is "minimal" but 0.00 seems to be effect &quo...

Re: Comparing Noise Removal/Reduction between 2.0.6 and 2.1.

With the material I have (subtle quiet sounds against vinyl or internet transmission/sound card noise) the default Sensitivity would better be 12. With that change I get marginally better results than in 2.0.6 but to get a result that is better than "just about acceptable" there is still ...

Re: Can't get lame to work with audacity

Audacity downloaded to programs x86 but when I try to unzip lame it won't download to that folder and says 'access denied' Try logging in as administrator then extract the contents to Program Files (x86)/Audacity. If there is a right-click option with WinZip to run as administrator you can also try...

it would be possible to have shown step by step commands Italians to use? Sorry we do not speak native Italian here, but you can try http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_editing.html#join . I stress again, this is the wrong approach because you will lose quality. If possible you should use tool...

Re: Only static when recording YouTube

To record the sound that is playing through the speakers, set the recording input to record from the speakers (loopback) in the device toolbar And to cover other issues, play the copyright-free video before pressing Record in Audacity, and make sure Transport > Software Playthrough in the Audacity ...

Re: Operating System Recommendation

While Solid State Drives have certain advantages, I don't think there are any practical issues in recording live to a mechanical hard drive. Recent hard drives (HDD) should not give too much problem recording, I agree. However current Audacity is too slow manipulating existing data, which shows up ...
