Brennan JB7 - any feedback

This is a slight cheat because this is playback equipment rather than Recording Equipment .... I was wondering if any of you out there had any experience of owning/playing one of these Brennan JB7 digital Jukeboxes? I have been searching for a while now for something like this to plumb into one of t...

Re: Improving the sound of a real piano recording

There's room here for a joke that since it's a digital transmission, the noise is clear, perfect, and absolutely repeatable from now on. Koz Koz, try telling that joke to our UK government and the BBC who have developed a "cunning plan" to remove our current FM services (including our ser...

Re: Exporting Problems

1) Did you import the WAV fie into Audacity and then export it to exact same filename and location? 2) And did you reset the Audacity default setting in Edit > Preferences > Import / Export for action on importing a file. The default is the "faster" option which reads uncompressed files (i...

Re: AAC & MP3 on Mac using 1.3.8

4. Use iTunes to make AAC copies (at your chosen bitrate) in the library of the WAV files 5. Delete the WAV files from the library. WC Hi wax, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried something like that using AIFF instead of WAV, and it seemed like too much work. Maybe the trouble is that haven't figure...

Re: Set Sample Format and Rate

32 bit floating gives you excellent headroom for editing without damaging the audio - so if you are going to do a lot of application of effects etc. themn leave it at 32-bit floating. If all you are doing is capture and then export to WAV files for burning to a CD (or export to MP3 for portable play...

Re: Newbie Question - Garbled imported Audio

Are you sure these ar MP3s? Where are you getting these files from? You are almost certainly trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support. Audacity Supports WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC & MP2 in 1.3. The scambled white noise is Audacity 1.2's inelegant way of telling you that it can't h...

Re: help please

Ok a further thought. You're not oversaturing the input signal to Audacity are you? Are the recording meters going into the red? Do the wavforms hit the top and bottom of the display? I note from the specs on t'interweb that the Project device does not have a volume/gain control - and I don't believ...

Re: Audacity don't open my music

You are almost certainly trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support. Audacity Supports WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC & MP2 in 1.3. You don't get a proper error msg in 1.2 - in 1.3.x a more appropriate and informative error message appears. If this is the case you have two basic options...
