Re: keyboard shortcuts

AFAIK it is not possible to create a k/b shortcut for any of the effects - it has been requested (and voted for) on the Wiki as a feature request.

However, if Repair is the last effect that you used thaen you can use CTRL+R to repeat the last effect used.

Re: Recording LP in stereo becoms mono

To make a proper CD you need to export as WAV files (44.1kHz 16-bit PCM stereo - the Red Book standard for CDs). You need to author the CD with some CD burning software e.g. Nero, Roxio, etc.) and you need to create a music CD not a data D. See this Wiki article: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.p...

Re: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

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. If this is the case you have two basic options: 1. find and use some converter software to convert your file to a type that Audacity supports 2. play the ...

Re: Can I Improve My MP3 Quality?

Yes, the problem is that you are recompressing previously compressed audio - hence the degradation in quality. It's like taking packet chicken soup, adding the water and then freeze drying it again - the "quality" gets worse. Ideally you should be doing all production and editing with loss...

Re: Recording pause tab

No, you can Stop the recording after side 1 and then when you have turned over and are ready to record again press Shift+Record or Shift+R - the recording will then restart in the same track just where you left off.

Re: Removing thumps and bumps

The Repair effect was only introduced in 1.3 - it may not be sufficient as it only fixes a maximum of 128 samples (so the time duration will depend on whether you are recording at 32-bit, 16-bit or whatever). The repair is done by interpolating from the neighbouring waveforms. The process is manual ...

Re: Storing a recording onto HD

Please note that Waxy's doing this so the song titles arrive correctly on his iPod, not the Music CD. Koz Actually Waxy's doing this for a number of reasons: 1) as Koz rightly says to get the correct order on my iTunes/iPod(s) 2) And to get the correct order on CD's - as I also burn CDs. In fact fo...

Re: Recording pause tab

Just tested on my 1.3.7 also running on XP-HE - the Pause button works fine, so I'm puzzled :?

Have you also tried using the keyboard shortcut the P key to pause ?

Re: Recording iTunes from Mac sounds terrible + audio mixing

There are computers without a line in? I'll have to check my son's Compaq. I guess the solution in that instance is a USB external sound card. Yup that would be a solution - see this sticky thread for reviews of external soundcards that are known to work with Audacity: http://audacityteam.org/forum...

Re: Best voice sound settings

Ok, so for the intro you have two separate tracks in Audacity, one for an imported music track and one for you voice track to overlay the music - have I understood correctly? 1) If so, when you play both tracks together in Audacity does the result sound ok? 2) If you export the two tracks to a WAV f...
