Audacity Forum

I asssume you can play the MP3 on your computer? If FFMPEG doesn't work... Try using a different program to convert your MP3 to WAV . (Its an extra step for you, but there is no harm in converting to uncompressed WAV, since Audacity is going to decompress the MP3 anyway.) There are many applications...

Well... I'm stumped! :( I'm pretty sure it's a Windows issue (not Audacity), or possibly a problem with the turntable. You could try some different recording software. I use GoldWave a lot. It's $50 USD, but there is a free trial which would allow you to determine if it's Audacity or something else....

I have never done that with Audacity, but there is a serious flaw in the technique! The sound of the difference (subtracted files) is NOT the difference in the sound! Weird, eh? MP3 makes phase & timing changes that may not be audible, but they show-up in difference testing... It's true, that if you...

There should be a microphone volume control and an Microphone boost control. Here's how I got to it - -Control Panel -Hardware and Sound -Sound - Manage Audio Devices -Recording -Microphone -Properties (not "configure") -Levels --- Now finally, you should see a volume slider, and hopefully a boost s...

I'm thinking it might be the "microphone boost". (Windows might think the USB turntable is a USB mic.) But, but I'm not on a Win7 machine right now, and I don't remember exactly how to get to that setting... Through the control panel somehow.

I'm not familiar with streaming software.... The simplest way is to simply plug the P.A. mixer's line-out into the soundcard's line-in. You might need a Y-adapter if there is only one line-out and it's going to a power amp. The problem with that is, usually much of the music is acoustic, or there ar...

How can I tweak the mix so that when I burn it to a CD you can skip tracks? This really has nothing to do with your mix, as long as your mix is gapless of course. It's the CD burning software that creates the track markers. If you use burning software that supports Cue Sheets , you use one-big WAV ...

You may be able to simply open the audio/video file in Audacity to get the audio. You'll probably need to install the FFMPEG Import/Export library, which you can get from the download page . However, if you want to get the new-edited & saved (exported) audio back into the audio/video file, you'll ne...

If you or anyone wants to request rms or Replay Gain normalisation in Audacity, please do so. Something based on ReplayGain or EBU R128 would be awesome! I don't know of an audio editor that has it (or a plug-in), so you alkways have to use a stand-alone program. (Of course MP3gain does have an adv...

Take a look at ReplayGain . It analyzes your files for perceived loudness and tries to match the levels. There are variations such as MP3Gain and WAVgain, depending on your file format and your player, or player software. Apple has something similar called Sound Check if you are using iTunes or an i...
