Re: Audacity Deleting EVERYTHING!

Probably the simplest way is to Export a project when you have finished working on it as a WAV file. This gives you just one single file, a music file - which you can move around to anywhere you want. You can always re-open the WAV file in Audacity to work on it further later if you need/want to. An...

Re: How to shorten my music??

You are almost certainly trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support . Audacity Supports WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC in 1.3. If this is the case you have two basic options: 1. find and use some converter software to convert your file to a type that Audacity supports 2. play the file in an...

Re: Fade in/out from 100% to specific volume

Try using the Envelope Tool - click on the tool icon with the two pointing together triangles, white dot at the centre blue line going through it.

This lets you set an amplification envelope by setting and dragging the little white dots, shaping the blue lines.

Re: Lowering Level on all tracks

Just select all the tracks - click in the top track and drag across for time and down to the bottom track (or CTRL-A for the whole project). Then use Effect>Amplify - and that will work on your whole selection.

Re: tracking out mixes

Ahhh ...... clearer now. All you need to do is to place a label at each track break - use the Ctrl-B shortcut - and don't forget to place a label right at the beginning for the first track. Then use Audacity's Export Multiple command (available from the File drop-down) to export a multiple set of WA...

Re: Exporting to iTunes

Sorry I can't help you further as I'm a PC person - all I can tell you is that on PC's it works fine. The uncompressed output file it makes is a WAV and these can be loaded into iTunes ok. I would have thought that with all-Apple MAC/iTunes/iPod you would have been fine. Have you tried burning you e...

Re: Memory usage? 100%???

On my PC when running Audacity WTM shows 10-15% CPU usage and c. 350MB page file usage - this is on 1.3 Beta version.

Just tested 1.2 as well and shows the same.

Re: Memory usage? 100%???

That should be enough .... :) When you say using up all your memory - you don't by any chance mean using up all the PC RAM memory do you? If, some earlier versions of Audacity on Windows (pre 1.2.6 IIRC) had a notorious memory leak which was fixed. If you are using a pre 1.2.6 version I would recomm...
