Hi ceaker, an interesting read - thanks for that link. I read the de-crackling section with great interest - however it does still have a step in the process (Step 4) which relies on click removal. What this approach looks to try to do is to avoid removing as much musical content from the signal - b...

Are you using a USB device as input?

If so you would expect it to be greyed-out as there is only a sigle path available (via the USB).

shinnen, If you're happy with de-amplifying the clicks (and I do use this myself for larger "events"/faults on the vinyl - then should start to experiment with the Envelpe tool (the tool with the icon of two vertical triangles pointing towards each other with a white dot and a blue line be...

WC hits the nail on the head when he says it’s the hard sell marketing of USB TTs to customers who, what can I say, haven’t thought the whole thing through, which lies behind all these “PLEASE HELP.

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...

john projects created in 1.2.x should be openable in 1.3.x (audacity will warn you, but normally the project will open ok). BUT once a project has been opened or created in 1.3.x it can NEVER be re-opened in 1.2.x I.e. the programmers have carefully given you forwards compatibility, but not backward...

Koz, What am I missing with all this digitizing of black plastic? What’s the fascination with USB gadgets? What am I missing? Black plastic I agree with your point about using CD replacements - where these are available this is a much better route. But the problem is that in spite of the industry p...
