This folder is normally hidden by the Mac OS and will not show up in a spotlight search. Copy the text in th...

Hello. While saving an Audacity ® 1.3.12-beta (Unicode) 1-hour recording, the software crashed, froze. I had to force quit Audacity (MacBook, OS 10.6.5, 2.4ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4gb, 667 mhz, ddr2 sdram).

New to audacity. I have a song and want my voice as well. I have two tracks...my .mp3 and my voice is another. I want to be able to hear my voice over the song, so lower the volume and then turn the vol. back up.

I wasn't sure what to search on and I did have a look at the wiki help.

Please advise.
