Re: "CUT" option doesn't work

Try deleting it instead - use Ctrl+K or Edit>Delete - after you have made the slection for deletion.

Re: Losing label focus

It looks to me like you are using Audacity 1.2.x (from the look of the label) - you have cobfused us by posting in the 1.3 section. Label handling is much improved in 1.3 over 1.2 - it's one of the key reasons I moved to 1.3 many months ago now. In 1.2 the only way you can edit a label is to click y...

Re: missing data on one stereo track

1) Split the stereo track into two tracks - from the little black downward pointing triangle there is a dropdown available - one option is Split Stereo Track 2) select the track with the sound in it and Copy the track (use CTRL+C or Edit>Copy) 3) Paste this into the other track (CTRL+V) 4) re-join t...

Re: Vinyl is too loud and distorted.

Any chance you can send the Project "thingy" back - you can buy a similar combined phono pre-amp with USB sound card from ART which does have a gain control - see: http://www.artproaudio.com/products.asp?type=90&cat=13&id=128 Not only is there a gain control you get an LED indicato...

Re: Audio equipment for recording just voice

I have never stretched a stocking over a wire hanger. I use panty hose. We have here a transatlantic language confusion (of which there are many - "knocked up" is another great example) - these two are basically the same thing (actually there is a slight difference as technically a "...

Re: Losing label focus

Just to add to Steve's reply - do the deletion with the CTRL+K shortcut or Edit>Delete after the selection and NOT the Delete key. Also you can get round the label length issue that Steve talks about by just creating labels at the gaps between tracks (i.e at the start of the track) and not bothering...

Re: Best way to join multiple tracks

Chris, either approach will work for you and produce basically the same end result. If you go for multiple tacks, when Audacity exports from a multi-track enviroment it mixes the tracks down to a single stereo pair. In 1.2 you can mix the tracks yourself prior to export be selecting them and doing a...

Re: Alarm or trigger if recording sound gets too loud. Possi

I suspect you didn't fully understand waxcylinder's post. The "red bar" referred to is the narrow little vertical bar at the end of the level meter. If the signal being recorded gets too loud in either channel at any time, the narrow little bar for that channel turns red -- and it stays r...

Or you could consider an external USB soundcard - the Gehringer UCA202 or the Edirol UA-1EX are woth considering.

Re: Audio formats

I agree with Koz' (somewhat hidden) recommendation - in that I doubt that you will hear any difference with AAC at high bitrate v. Apple lossless - and the AAC wil take up less space. Both, though, are of course Apple proprietary formats and only play on iPods/iTunes. And remember if you do run out ...
