Audacity Forum

The first thing I would like to do is excerpt specific clips from an MP3 file, and save them separately. Select/highlight the part you want to save. File -> Export Selected Audio. As a newbie, I didn't know how to make a selection. I found nothing on that topic in a Help Search. After a bit of hack...

We don't help with covert surveillance recordings or recordings that are required for court testimony. Use your favourite search engine to look for "audio forensics" and contact your solicitor and law enforcement if you have concerns.

Hi Koz, Thank you for your helpful reply! I don't think Audacity has a simple mode any more. I'll muddle through in Complex Mode. Actually, my bigger concern is the very basic Help, with dubious Search functionality. But at the price, I'm not complaining. :P What's the job. Sometimes that will give ...

Hi DVDdoug, Many thanks for your prompt, detailed, and very helpful reply! I have inserted a few follow-ups below...

I made up my mind to read the entire Audacity tutorial, to learn as much as possible (including the above) so not to pester you with every issue, but that box comes up which demands the selection of other search engines (msn or Bing) before allowing you to proceed (and no way I'm doing that). That ...

You can look for a "real time VST host" which would support a variety of VST plug-ins. But, I don't know what you'll find for Linux. ...I found a couple of possibilities on this page (about half way down the page, or search the page for "Linux"). Or, you can buy a compressor for ...

Hey, Steve.... Just wanted to thank you again for your advice regarding splitting the stereo track into two mono's so the audio playback will show up in both ears. Works great, so thanks very much. One other question: When I open a second track and try to record on that, no audio comes from the firs...

Windows 10 Audacity 2.1.1 I couldn't find this issue after a quick search, I apologize if it is repetitive to a previous entry. I've recorded a long audio file (~60 minutes), and added Labels at Selection (CTRL+B). Unfortunately, when I Export Multiple and ask it to "Split Based on Labels"...
