Audacity Forum

The tutorials will give you more detail, but the most important thing is to know that Audacity can't burn CDs. You'll need 3rd-party software. There are 3 or 4 steps: 1. Record 2. Edit (Optional... i.e. Trim the ends. Split the songs into separate files, or combine both sides into one file, etc. Opt...

Do you still have the original Audacity "project" file? WAV files are limited to either 2GB or 4GB, depending on which spec you believe. (In the WAV file header, there is a 32-bit "file-size" field, and with 32-bits, you can "count" to a little more than 2GB signed, or 4GB unsigned.) What final form...

With uncompressed files, you can easily calculate the bitrate (kilobits per second) if you know the sample rate (samples per second), bit depth (number of bits per sample) and the number of channels.. Bitrate = Sample Rate x Bit Depth x Number of Channels. For example, the bitrate for a CD (or a WAV...

The connections to my laptop (windows 7) is via phono leads from the tape out. These then go into a phono to usb converter box. Your phono-to-USB box has a phono preamp with RIAA equalization. You are connecting a line-level signal from tape-out, which does not need to be re-amplified or re-equaliz...

So if I upload a music file track and then recoerd a voice file, can I not then adjust the voice file with an echo without altering the music file?? Yes, of course you can... Just open the voice-only file in Audacity (and don't open the music file). Then run the Echo effect, or the Reverb effect (G...

It would be nice to start with a higher volume, but you can use the Amplify effect in Audacity to boost the level in "post production". Windows has separate recording & playback "mixers". There should be a microphone level control and possibly a master volume control depending on your operating syst...

What do you mean by "voice channel"? Typically you have a stereo or mono file. If you have a voice-only file or voice-only in the left or right channel you can process that file/track. If you have a voice & music mixed together, the effects will be applied to everything. (You cannot un-mix audio and...

I don't know... But for multi-track recording and mixing, you are probably better off using DAW software (digital audio workstation) rather than an audio editor. Of course this software is 10 times as complex, but its the more appropriate too for the job. The Alesis originally came with a version of...

...to microphone inlet jack on computer. The audio output on your MiniDisc player is line-level. (The line-input on most soundcards is color-coded blue.) If you want good quality, DO NOT use a microphone input!!! If you have laptop and that's your only choice, get an interface with a digital S/PDIF...

You should be able to get some sound, but the mic-input on your laptop is wrong for the mic-input on your laptop. :( Unless your laptop has a line-input, you need an external interface. The Berhinger UCA202 is usually the lowest cost solution. There are all kinds of higher-end audio interfaces with ...
