Audacity Forum

How many files is she playing at once? Are all the files stored in one place on the hard drive? Is it a local drive or a network drive? The problem is that Audacity has to load each of those files while it's playing, so it's got a ton of hard drive reading that needs to be done every 1.5 seconds or ...

How are you panning each individual instrument if they all reside in one stereo clip? I'd like to hear this effect, can you post an example? There are a few panning effects here , but all of them work on individual tracks and I don't think any of them oscillate. I'm sure one of the developers would ...

Change Speed and Change Tempo will be do that.

You will want the Percent Change = (Original length / Final length) - 1

In your case Percent Change = (20 / 16) - 1 = 25

dehustler,

Do you have "play other tracks while recording new one" checked in Audacity's Edit -> Preferences -> Audio I/O menu? You should.

I remember your old posts.

What exactly does your signal chain look like? Does it go from the Turntable -> phono pre-amp (or reciever with a phono input) -> Behringer UCA202 -> computer?

Or are you plugging the turntable directly into the Behringer?

phillr, You've got a Line level device plugged into a Mic level input. That's a recipe for problems as you said. For this reason, I would recommend a USB sound card with a Line In. However, I would expect quite a bit of clipping with your current setup, but I wouldn't expect popping (especially at a...

You've reached the limit of what your computer can play and record at the same time. What kind of computer, OS, RAM, sound card do you have? How well does the computer run in general? The other thing we should know is; is your hard drive nearly full? Have you defragmented it recently (this often hel...

It's probably the CRT, but there's a very easy way to be certain. Turn the monitor off while recording, does the problem go away? If it does, then you can either always turn the monitor off, or buy an LCD monitor (my LCD monitor doesn't get picked up by anything, I'm pretty sure this is the case wit...

First thing, don't use White Noise, use Pink Noise. It's much more relaxing and better at masking real world noises. Second, unless you have a CD player that can play MP3 discs, you won't be able to put 9 hours of audio onto a CD. You will always be limited to 80 minutes. The problem is not with Aud...

I don't know if there is a command line flag to get Audacity recording right away. I've never looked into it. But you can do what Waxcylinder said. Use Audacity 1.3.3's Timed Recording function, and set it to start going at 5:55am saturday morning -> the end of the program. You can set both stop and...
