Re: Anyway to do an automatic Time Shift?

Audacity can't do what you want at the moment. There is a long-outstanding Feature Request for an Import Append command which would import by adding the new file to the end of the existing project. But don't hold your breath - no new development is currently being undertaken - the developers are in ...

Re: need advice on ideal recording settings

Personally for my archival of LPs, tapes and Minidiscs (and for current live capture from BBC FM broadcasts) I have my Audacity set at 32-bit float 44.1kHz for recording and editing - the 32-bit float gives good headroom for editing functions. And then when I produce the finished WAVs I use Audacity...

Re: Please Please HELP

Have you got your Windows Explorer set so that it doesn't show hidden files and folders - and note this is the somewhat unhelpful default that Microsoft ships in Windows?

If so reset it is to show the hidden files/folders - I suspect the .cfg file may be such a file.

Re: Odd statement in Audacity manual

I note that Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range States (my bolding) : The 16-bit compact disc has a theoretical dynamic range of about 96 dB [7] (or about 98 dB for sinusoidal signals, per the formula[6]). Digital audio with 20-bit digitization is theoretically capable of 120 ...

Re: Recommend sound card for recording my mixing

I run an Edirol UA-1EX (now superseded by the Cakewalk UA-1G - see http://www.cakewalk.com/media/PDF/UA-1G.pdf ) Both of these has an optical S/PDIF input (via 3.5mm optical jack) I used that port when I was transferring my MiniDiscs into Audacity/WAV and it worked well. You would be wasting a lot o...
