Re: I want to paste a "jingle" to multiple tracks?

Why do you want to paste the jingle into multiple tracks? When the project is exported the multiple tracks will be mixed down to a single stereo pair.

Am I missing something? Please explain more. :?

Re: File wont save as WAV

Save only Saves projects - you need the Export command to make non-Audacity project format such as WAV MP3 etc. If you have multiple tracks you will want to use a label track and the use Export Multiple. This confuses many people - see this thread in the feature request section of the forum: http://...

Re: wheres the volume?

Select the portion of audio you want to make louder ( CTRL+A will select the whole project) - and the use Effect > Amplify I would advise caution in using the alternative Normalize effect as that acts on both stereo channels independently and can thus destry the stereo balance and thus the stereo im...

Re: seperating lp tracks

Of course you can do it a tune at a time but IMHO that is more complicated than the labelling/multiple export - but it's purely down to personal choice of working method.

The important bit is to enjoy the music , however you get there

Except by adding a suitable external USB (or possibly Firewire) soundcard between the headphone out and your PC.

Re: possible bug - can only record at 96000

What I would do is try deleting your Audacity configuration file which is where Audacity stores your preferences. You can find it in C:Documents and Settings <your_user_name> Application DataAudacityaudacity.cfg Audacity will create a new cfg file when you restart it - note that this will reset all ...

Re: seperating lp tracks

Lenny, All you need to do is to place a label at each track break - use the Ctrl-B shortcut - and don't forget to place a label right at the beginning for the first track. Then use Audacity's Export Multiple command (available from the File drop-down) to export a multiple set of WAVs, MP3s or whatev...

Re: Bad quality for MP3

You are probaly over-compressing the MP3 file. The Audacity default MP3 bitrate of 128 is normally regarded as the minimum acceptable for music - I personally use 192 (my son, with younger better ears, normally uses 320). If iPodshad been bigger when I started out I would probably have chosen 256. T...

Re: Some technique of Audacity I would like to know

<<<How do you play a song backwards?>>> In Audacity 1.3 you might try selecting the song and Effect > Speed Change > -100%. That's Minus one hundred percent. Or use one of the other duration tools like that. It doesn't work in Audcity 1.2, but yours might. Interesting left-field thought Koz - but t...
