Initial thought: has Microsoft by any chance uploaded newer versions of the sound-card device drivers? I would certainly upgrade to version 1.3.13, which you can get from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows (this may not fix the problem, but it's a step in the right direction). You c...

I can't see a build date in the "About Audacity" Look at the bottom of the "Build Information" tab. If it's anywhere it will be there. (I think the build date may be not always included on the release version - not sure because I usually build from source). Yup, your right - it ...

Start over. You've said that the ones you've recorded are messed up, and only the left channel was captured properly... I'm 100% with Bill on this. The key is to get the sound good (as best as you can get) right at the capture stage. Much better than trying to "fix" it in editing later .....

OK, I can now duplicate this problem. I need to have a lot of audio -- it is barely perceptible with 2 hours of mono noise, just noticeable with 3 hrs; with 1 hour I see no problem. It seems to be worse when zoomed out a long way, which I typically do as I want to see a lot of the project in on go,...

And that's one of the "unintended consequences" of having such long periods between releases ...

But note that labelling worked fine and dandy (immediately briskly) in 1.3.12 and previous (and still does - I've tested recently) What is the build date of your 1.3.12 ( Help > About Audacity ). I will look at the commit log starting with that date and see if I can spot anything which might relate...

Bill's advice is very sound. I started out my vinyl conversion project a few years ago with a USB turntable (ION iTT-USB) I thought it would be the easiest way to go. Well it was easy, the problem is that it wasn't very good. The electronics (ADC soundcard, USB services) were absoluttely fine, but t...

@both waxcylinder & dickN: Can you give system details (CPU speed, RAM, OS w/ SP, disc space available)? Can you give explicit steps (including kind & size of audio) leading to slow behavior? It's a seven year old Dell Dimension 2400 desktop Speed = 3.06 GHz RAM = 512 MB (small, I know, by ...

Start off with a read of this set of tutorials from the manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tutorial_-_Copying_tapes,_LPs_or_minidiscs_to_CD especially this one: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Recording_with_USB_turntables you may find this one useful too once you get it all working: http...

I just updated to 1.3.13 on both the laptop (XP, SP3) and the tower (64b Vista). I note two things that seem to have slowed down quite a lot, especially on the Vista machine: ... and anything at all that involves labels or a label track. Regardless of whether I'm recording, playing back or stopped,...
