Re: Why re-compress unchanged audio tracks

Yes, but the poster did go on to say that he was using <<compressed to squeeze several church services onto a thumb drive 'cause my laptop is getting full>>.

Re: Why re-compress unchanged audio tracks

You can get quite big thumb drives these days. And you can get (relatively cheaply) portable 0.5TB & 1TB pocket USB disks - of a size that easily fits in a jacket pocket. Here's an example found at random on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/including-Software-assembled-CBA-Digital/dp/B002FOCNRM/r...

Re: Unable to Record

The first thing to do is to ignore 1.2.6 (which is now ancient and no longer supported/updated) - and isnstall the latest Beta Audacity 1.3.12 which you can get from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ You can have 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine at the same time (but both cannot run at the same tim...

Re: Extract audio from video files?

I have moved this thread fom the "Adding Features To Audacity" section to the "Recording Techniques" section (though technically this not recording but extraction). I also left a shadow link on the "Audio Processing" section.

Re: Cassette to CD using Audacity on Mac OS X

Nice try, though. It usually takes two or three extended manual cleanup sessions to make buying the music on a new Music CD or downloading it fresh look pretty good.

Re: Crashed audacity 1.3.12 beta, cant recover the project

it seems that for me it is not good enough to relay on auto saving, but I must always manually backup work in progress. It was literally the last click on the edited podcasts when the audacity crashed ( after a full day of working on it). Not just for you - it's something we all should do regularly...
