Re: Mixer bar, Input grayed out.

You probably just need to rest your Preferences to default (this is easier in 1.3 as the developers then used a configuration file per user called audacity.cfg). In 1.2.x for Windows the preferences are stored in the registry. This thread contains a link to a registry edit fix which will just reset ...

Re: Improving quality of Poor Tape to CD Conversion

Yup the 21 day trial period should be plenty for those thre cassettes. I gave up on Audacity's click removal as i could never get it to work properly for me. When I was doing it manually I would play the recording until I heard a click and then zoom in to see the individual samples. Then selected th...

This was very labour intensive...

Re: Sample rate & file size issues

External hard drives are pretty good for backup storage (not infallible though - they can sometimes break) and are available in very large sizes at fairly low prices. I can certainly confirm this - my 1TB RAID external disk failed after just 3 months recently (the supplier/manufacturer did replace ...

But I do have that metatag data request. turned off in my preferences. To do tsis go to Edit > Preferences > Import/Export and un-check the box ...
