Re: Playing LPs faster ?

A good example of this is Emmylou Harris' Luxury liner which I re-bought on CD (having both his & hers copies on vinyl in the hoses already). The "re-mastered" CD was truly awful. The engineers have made it louder by bringing all the instruments forward so that Emmylou gets lost in the...

Re: Can/How do I get selection toolbar to show higher resolu

... is there a way to get the program to give a timing for a selected waveform (or highlighted subset of waveform) to a higher direct time than hh:mm:ss + milliseconds as is had done in previous versions. You should be able to do this using the drop-down selector (little-black-downward-pointing-tri...

Re: LP Rip with Distortion at the end of side one

I am always present during recording or at least the recording process is always within earshot so I do not wish to turn off play-through especially as I would then have to listen to everything ripped later. That may be slighly problemmatical. I seem to recall from reading previous threads that wha...

Re: LP Rip with Distortion at the end of side one

and in effect you almost seem to be agreeing with me with and I quote:- I personally have used USB devices with Audacity from 1.2 4 to current to transcribe hundreds of LPs and tapes, initially with a USB TT which was rubbish (electronics good but platter lousy with too much wow & flutter) and ...

Re: Timer recording of Audacity 2.0.1

This is similar to the behaviour that Koz was writing about recently. And I too had a similar experience recently wher the TR got it self set to record 2 full days plus the one hour I wanted, which I negelected to notice at setup time so the recording ran for 7 hours before I noticed and stopped it....

Re: LP Rip with Distortion at the end of side one

I have seen somewhere on the web you guys are contemplating turning Audacity into a commercial venture. Best of luck folks, and I really meant that, because the real world is damn hard nut to crack. I think rumour-control needs a reality check here - not under disussion or even consideration AFAIK ...

Re: Is it possible to write a plugin to alter the menu layou

... I use, on a regular basis, just the following: Fade In, Fade Out and Normalize. On an irregular basis: I have also used Changed Tempo and Equalization. The rest are irrelevant for my work with Audacity - at present. I don't want to "kill" them, just "hide" them. Tip: a handy...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

Steve, what are the chances of getting this incorporated into an Audacity release - otherwise I'll need to rember to add it to every alpha and future release download that I do?

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

Just to provide some further feedback: I've been using Pro-fade on some proper musical recordings and I must say I really like the result, much better than the linear fade. And the multi-use for "Fade In" was a good tip too, and very easy to do if you have set up a k/b shortcut. Thanks fro...
