... my iPod which is connected to my car stereo. WaveGain and MP3Gain make "permanent" changes to the files so they work with any player. (If you have uncompressed files and you're going to make MP3s, it's best to use WaveGain before converting to MP3. MP3s can only be volume-adjusted in 1.5dB steps ...

... format. When I save the same wave file as an "Other uncompressed files" I see the same header for the aiff file. I need to understand ...

... or not. Embedded metadata ("tagging") is more-standardized and better-supported on WAV than FLAC. And FLACs are about half the size of the uncompressed original.

... windy sound? If you don't have a protection copy of the raw sound, that may be the end of the show. Also, always shoot sound in clear WAV or other uncompressed format, not MP3, M4A or other compressed format. M4A changes voice tones around to get its small files and the changing can burn damage ...

... 96khz recording, that's what I'm trying to find out, weather it's "bit perfect" or not. I also wonder if the old way of doing it aka save as other uncompressed file and this new way are exactly the same.

... asio vanished. I did however manage to get it to work with help from a third party solution. My questions are as follows I used to export as other uncompressed files, then select 24bit wav. When I do this now I get wavex or wave that doesn't say microsoft. I tried both of these and while they do ...

... the orphan blocks belong individually to each project - they are not shared. They can be copied across I believe if you you use Save As or Save Uncompressed Copy. The orphan blacks are small six second chunks of one-channel audio that have somehow become detached from the project (crash or full ...

What's the possibility you ran out of room? Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It converts MP3 to uncompressed filetypes and then reconverts them to Audacity's super high quality internal file type. So those tracks are a lot bigger than you think they are. Further, each time ...
