Re: lengthen silences

Yes ok then: use the silence finder to identify the silences, this will create a whole slew of labels one for each silence. Then use Export Multiple to export a set of WAV files based on the silence-labels. Then as Steve suggest burn the CD with intertrack gaps of the required length. The limitation...

Re: windows 7 was bad idea...1.3.10 hasn't helped.

Thanks for your help. Any more is always welcome ... Ok then - another tip: assuming that you want to clean up the clicks and pops from your recordings, do yourself a big favour and invest $40 in Brian Davies' excellent ClickRepair software - it works like magic and saves loads of time (I'm using i...

Re: windows 7 was bad idea...1.3.10 hasn't helped.

Adjusting the gain would seem to band-aid the issue for the time being. No, not a band-aid - it's the right way to do things. IMHO it is better to adjust the signal level on a good pre-amp prior to presenting the signal to Audacity. I am disappointed there is no option to export tracks in .mp3 form...

Re: windows 7 was bad idea...1.3.10 hasn't helped.

Send. It. Back. These are throw-away turntables. Sometimes, you have to throw them away a little sooner than was intended. Once one of these things starts delivering trash, that's the end of the story. Koz I agree with Koz - I started out with an ION TT but soon junked it - curiously the electronic...

Re: 2 projects, 300 songs. Most effective way to tag properl

Those are very big projects for Audacity to work with (unless the songs are very short) - just take care when working with such large projects. Personally I don't like to work with anything much over two hours in a single project.

Re: can't recod with Tape2USB hardware

Which computer and which operating system - and which version of Audacity? Did you connect the USB before starting Audacity (you should). See this article in the Wiki - it is primarily about USB TTs but much of the advice will apply to your tape unit too: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title...

Re: windows 7 was bad idea...1.3.10 hasn't helped.

I used to run an ION iTTUSB and it worked fine on Windows XP - I didn't try it with either Vista of Windows 7 (being a refusenik not wanting to go to Bill's newer platforms just yet ... ) I don't see any USB devive listed in your 2nd posting above? Does Windows 7 recognize the device? Have you tried...

Help us by telling us what make and model of USB turntable you are using.
