Re: Microphone level sometimes is too low

Could be a bad connection / dry joint somewhere in the chain.

Re: tracking out mixes

Glad that worked for you.

AFAIK there isn't an automatic way of generating regular timed labels in Audacity.

You can make it easier by zooming out so more project time fits in the Audacity window. And if you use v1.3 you can type cursor times into the time/sample display box.

Re: transfering aup,s to itunes

As locopomo says - and also if you have already made CDs from your projects you should be able to rip them into your iTunes library, just the way you do with your commercially purchased CDs. And you may even find that for some of them the track information is already stored in the online database th...

Re: Mp3 - larger after editing.

It's possible that you exported the reduced length MP3 at a higher bitrate than the original MP3 - check both rates. Audacity default is set to 128.

Re: USB device records in stable version but not beta

I have no idea what the underlying problem is, sorry, but a good workaround would be to record in 1.2.6 and then edit in 1.3.

Re: Menu items unreadable

I suspect that all you need to do is rest the Audacity language option to "English". To change the language use: Edit>Preferences - Edit is the second command in from top left, then Preferences is the bottom selection in the drop-down list. Then you need the Interface tab, which is the thi...

Re: Inserting Marks During Recording

sjf,

try CTRL + M - this will put down markers while you are recording. And you can use the Tab key after recording to tab between the markers.
