Re: Odd stuttering

Are you saying that even the Audacity project is messed up? Looking at the waveform itself, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, but it's not playing back properly. Here, are you talking about playing it back on your computer? If you can play back other files without any trouble and this...

Re: Sound interference and uneven tempo

My best guess is that the drivers for that mic don't work well under Vista. From this page: http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1878 The C03U works seamlessly on any computer running Mac OS X or Windows XP, and with most DAW software programs without having to install any extra...

Re: problem playing something I made yesterday. HELP!

Koz, did you read that post? ryannn, Audacity isn't talking to your sound card correctly for some reason. Most likely, this is because you plugged or unplugged a USB audio device (like a mic or turntable). Open Audacity and click Edit -> Preferences -> Audio I/O tab. Here, you need to select the cor...

Re: Lost AUDACITY data file

katie, Have you moved or deleted any Audacity related files? They need to stay in place once a project is saved. Each project is comprised of a PROJECT_NAME.aup file and the PROJECT_NAME_data folder. Both need to stay put. If you restore those files to their original place, then your projects should...

Re: Combining tracks

Different ripping software deals with the end and beginning of CD tracks differently. I find a similar thing happens when I use Winamp to rip my CDs to mp3. It often results in stuttering between tracks for a half second or so. The problem is that it's impossible to make mp3s that are exactly the sa...

Re: do i have to listen to it?

Well the obvious answer is to turn off your speakers. But I assume you also want to listen to other computer sounds while recording. Ideally, you should just be able to change your Windows audio software to turn the Line In output volume down, but leave the recording volume high. If that works, then...

Re: Won't record

When I try to record, the current tracking bar just bounces at the beginning but doesn't move forward - not recording anything. Can you explain what this means? Is the cursor bar (vertical line that lets you know where along the timeline you are) moving forward while you record? Or are you talking ...

Re: Stereo to mono

I get the same behavior. Recording a stereo track, then highlighting it and clicking Tracks -> Stereo to Mono, then trying to play crashes Audacity 1.3.4 (not sure about earlier versions). Hurray for beta software! There is a workaround though. Record a stereo track, click on the tracks name off to ...

Re: Left Right volume

You mean the output volume slider also affects the recording?

That's odd. The only way I could explain that is if you're recording the speaker output. But if you're recording from a different source then I have no clue.
