Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

I'm getting a hiss and a rumble from the pre-amp. If that is the case then the pre-amp is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced.

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

Re: Recording

You should consider moving to 1.3. Despite the fact that it is Beta - it is a pretty mature Beta and is in fact more stable than the officially "stable" 1.2.6 on many modern computing platforms. Plus you get a lot of new and improved functionality - (1.3.12 is due to hit the streets soon)....

Re: Seperating tracks while transferring from source to PC

BTW label handling is much better in 1.3.x - you should consider moving to 1.3. Despite the fact that it is Beta - it is a pretty mature Beta and is in fact more stable than the officially "stable" 1.2.6 on many modern computing platforms. You can get 1.3 from here: http://audacityteam.org...

Re: Need a way to convert MP3s to WAVs in automated batch mo

Why on earth would you want or need to do this?

Once a file has been compressed to MP3 it has the compression damage burned-in forever - converting it to WAV will not add back any quality - it will just make the file around ten times larger.

Re: Recording

And note that there are limits to the length/size of WAV/MP3/whatever audio files that other software and music players can handle.
