Re: help

Move your cursor to the required spot. Use the Generate>Silence to create <n> seconds of silence at that point. Move cursor to beginning of silence - then record your new track starting from there. You may need to make some adjustments by deleting some Silence if you created too much - or adding som...

Re: Really fast play back

What you mean is that you have your iTunes set to rip/import as AAC/MP4 - you could choose to import into iTunes as MP3 or WAV instead (you probably don't want to do that though as bitrate for bitrate AAC gives better quality than MP3 - and WAV files are MUCH larger). There are a couple of options f...

Re: DJ in need of help.

Uffer, 1) basically you want to try to get your recordings to peak at about -6db. With the meters in their defaut mode it is difficult to control the level accurately. You can enlarge the meters by dragging them off the toolbar so that they "float" and then drag them to expand them (I have...

Re: 16-bit UNSIGNED Linear PCM: Now What?

A workaround would be to play the music in you Pinball game and at the same time record it into Audacity.

Re: Question about adjusting amplitude

<<<Another way you can do it is via cut&paste of the tracks.>>> Actually, I think cut and paste may be the only way you can stick two songs on the timeline one after the other. Koz No so Koz, you can use the Timeshift tool to move the different tracks around to the required position - and then ...

Re: McCrypt USB Turntable Adaptor

From what I can see on t'interweb this looks to be some form of external USB soundcard, looks as though its made in Germany. There is no apparent reasion why it shouldn't work. Unless your turntable has a line output as well as a phono output (i.e. contains an in-built pre-amp) then you will most pr...

Re: Question about adjusting amplitude

Yup, your're right FW - I just tested it in 1.3 too and it does the same thing there still. What you can do is to use the Time-Shift tool to align your tracks one after the other - a bit fiddly, but it does work. Just select the track you want to move, click on the Time-shift tool the icon with the ...

Re: Question about adjusting amplitude
