Audacity Forum

Jeremy, see this sticky thread for a review of external soundcards that we know work well with Audacity: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9477 - I personally use the Edirol and find it produces excellent results. The iMic often gets a bad press on this forum - another regular p...

It is true I have other things like a disc drive attached on USB, and a bunch of stuff running internally, like photofun studio. Capturing digital audio is quite demanding on a computer. Other applications running can sometimes give this symptom (particularly other heavy use applications like image...

To change the language use: Edit>Preferences - Edit is the second command in from top left, then Preferences is the bottom selection in the drop-down list. Then you need the Interface tab, which is the third one in from the right. Language is selected from the only drop-down list in the dialogue box...

I think the default sample format is 16-bit for me. Would it make a lot of difference if I upped it to 32-float? What does the sample format say exactly? Only if you've changed it to that - IIRC Audacity OOTB defaults to 32-bit floating 44.1kHz. With the higher bit rate you are using more bits for ...

Go to Edit > Preferences > Devices and change the the setting in the Recording/Channels drop-down - reset this to 2 (stereo)

Or maybe Lenny you are asking about Audacity projects - if you have seventy five of those and try to be tidy by moving stuff around and cleaning up then you are likely to run into trouble. The times when my fi...

I too recall seeing something similar recently, but I can't find it in the forum...

How did you make the recording - help us out a bit here :) Did you buy any chance import existing stuff from another WAV file or from a CD? Did you by any chance write it back to the same filename that you imported from? UPDATE: and please don't double post, particularly by hijacking someboody else'...

Assuming that I have understood you properly and you have created a second stereo track below the first one. If that is the case then you can delete one of the tracks simply by clicking in the little X in the top left hand corner of the track.

See this thread for reviews of soundcards that are known to work well with Audacity - and as sound output devices to hi-fi amps etc. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9477 I haven't actually connected to my hi-fi directly with PC/external soundcard - rather I make CD's from digi...
