Re: aup files from recycle bin

No, not easily. As you allude to, the .aup is the critical file which tells Audacity how to thread together all the little .au files - without out you are a bit stuck - the forum is full of postings where Audacity has crashed mid-recording having created lots of .au files but without creating the .a...

Re: Disc space?? NEED INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once you have completed the final production of any Audacity project you should export it to WAV/MP3 AND back the WAV/MP3 up. Then you can recover the space taken up by the Audacity project. Note if you may want to re-edit later then you should export as WAV otherwise you will lose audio quality in ...

Re: Numark TT on Linux Ubuntu 7.10

Edit >Preferences > Quality should get you to where you can set the project rate - alternatively you should get a timer/sample box at the botton of the Audacity window, at the left of which is a settable project rate.

Re: ClickRepair

If you have kept the AIFFs (sounds unlikely from your posting) then I would use those as the source material for ClickRepair. Or if you don't and in the cases where you still have the good tapes - I would go back to the tapes and create a new AIFF for ClickRepair processing. I use Audacity to captur...

Re: ClickRepair

If your original MP3s are 256 bit and you re-export at 256 bit then you shouldn't get much degradation - at 192 bits you may notice it and if your originals are 128 or lower then you may notice the degradation - try some listenings tests with your material.

Re: ClickRepair

Glad to have helped - and good to see ClickRepair works well on MACs too. to convert MP3 to AIFF - I think you should be able to use iTunes to do this - or you could open the MP3s in Audacity and then export them. But you may be better off having a quick Google of t'interweb as you may be able to fi...

Re: Can't seem to record...

Your recording capabilities are entirely defined by the soundcard and its associated driver software in your PC - the new PC is not letting you record the sound that is passing through the computer (my desktop doesn't - but my wife's laptop does). You may be able to work around this by feeding the a...

Re: ogg / compressing files

No I don't think it is either - but you can always use the Apple Lossless format - which is also a lossless compression, don't know what the compression ratio is though.

Re: Time Remaining

You are Exporting As WAV... to get sound files, right? Audacity Projects aren't sound files and you can't move them from machine to machine. Koz As Koz says - and also once you have completed the final production of any Audacity project , exported it to WAV AND backed the WAV up - then you can reco...
