Audio actors are ~300kB. Have you tried seeing if http://troikatronix.com/isadora/about/ will play these fil...

Re: Help Decoding RAW File

I don't think the noise reduction when "packing" the data is a placebo effect, and I do think it is noisier in stereo at half the sample rate and at 16-bit at half the sample rate. Packing? Do you mean companding (a-law/mu-law) or putting bytes into words? I just did what I said, removed ...

Re: Blue Snowball quality is bad all of a sudden PLEASE HELP

Audacity looks for new USB devices when it starts and can forget about devices if there is an interruption. So you can get seriously magic results if you use a USB headset for gaming or Skype or have a ratty USB connection. Unplug all other audio devices, plug the Snowball in (firmly, let it settle)...
