Audacity Forum

Only post pages of diagnostics is somebody asks for them. Most times, they only tell us "There's Something Wrong." We guessed that. Are you on Vista by any chance? Vista closed a lot of the handy loopholes that used to exist--like recording from the soundcard output. I have a license for Total Recor...

Arun, a lot of people seem to get this similar problem with Audacity when using USB services with Audacity. Personally (he says touching wood) I have not experienced this either with the origional ION ITTUSB that I had b=nor with my Edirol USB soundcard). Kozikowski, often recommends ditching the US...

The "silence finder" does it's search with TWO parameters - amplitude (dB) and duration (seconds). In order for a region to be detected as silence it must be both a) Below the threshold level, and b) continue below that level for longer than the minimum duration. If the silence finder is not finding...

Since I'm running a very old version of Audacity, I decided to upgrade to 1.2.6 to see what troubles I find. I'm not running Leopard, however, I'm running 10.4.11 Tiger on a 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4. audacity-macosx-ppc-1.2.6.dmg The install went OK. I put the lame, vst enabler, and plugins in the right...

O.K., I know I am resurrecting an old post, but it found it during a search. I have the same problem as the original poster and tried restarting, etc as instructed, but that did not work. I downloaded the newest version of Audacity (1.3.3) but same results. Any other ideas? Running 10.5.2. Thanks in...

Measure the acoustic results with one of these: http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=sound%20level%20meter&origkw=sound%20level%20meter&sr=1 There are a stunning number of people using that...

Cindy, Thanks WC. I checked my HD volume and my CAP is 148 GB and I have 52 GB available. With the help of my local (non Mac) guru I verified disks of both the HD and the boot drive as well as verifying disc permissions. Whew, that's a relief What does "Please select another temp directory in your p...

This seems to happen to many folks - what I would try is installing the latest version of the Beta Audacity 1.3.4 and see if that works better. It's likely to be down to your souncard and its associated driver software. You can download it from here: http://audacityteam.org/ . Note that you can have...

Hello, I have been using Audacity for a little over a year until my computer died. I just bought a new one that has a built in Realtek & I also installed my Sound Blaster Live card - same one from the other machine. I am getting both of these to work with every other program I have except for Audaci...

I DID create an Audacity folder in Applications and put the VST plugins in the plugin folder and put a whole folder with VST extension plugsins there, but they did not show up. BUT: Once I took them out of the folder and only put the individual files into the plugin folder they DID. Hurrah! As far a...
