Audacity Forum

btw...anyone have any suggestions on non-computer recording equipment? That is the logical alternative, isn't it? I would give anything to be able to supply an equipment list, but I can't. The obvious choice is record on your phone. I'm still struggling with that. There was a recent poster who trie...

Sorry, I'm addressing the folks at Audacity. who were participating in this discussion when it started 3 years ago. Specifically "steve" and "Gale Andrews". I'm aware of how to play a loop. Were you aware that it took me a half-hour of weeding through wrong answers from my search...

1.What is the best quality format to save my music? MP3 or something else like WAV? WAV is universal, uncompressed and lossless. But, metadata is not well-supported. Regular audio CDs are not WAV files, but 44.1kHz, 16-bit, WAV uses the same underlying PCM format as CD, and you can convert back-and...

Thank you for that info! Very helpful. So, if I bought the equipment below, I would be okay, at least starting off? I have an empty walk-in closet in a quiet back bedroom I thought I would deck out with blankets and stuff, and that would be my “studio.” If the cable is long enough, I would just stri...

I'm not a guitar player so don't take everything I say as Gospel... What I have learned is that I record guitar track and then afterwords add effects such as reverb. Don't know yet if I can to that to use in real time. That's a BIG question... Audacity doesn't apply effects in real time. A DAW can a...

I use Audacity to edit audio books. In earlier versions, I would stop play, make a selection and delete and it would be instantaneous. With this current version, I have to wait often 5-10 seconds to be allowed to do anything with what I've selected, and other times the program won't ever switch over...

I think it's impossible to remove music from aircraft-noise. You could cheat : transplant another aircraft-noise soundtrack to the video ... https://freesound.org/search/?q=interior+aircraft You'll need video-editing software to do that (Audacity only edits sound). What a brilliant idea! I already ...
