The RealAudio (.ra) file can be imported into Audacity as an audio track. Once imported, the file can be edited just like any other audio track.

A different audio recorder was previously downloaded and used to record a call on an iPhone. When the recording was completed, it was discovered that the audio on the other end of the call was scrambled/covered up due to iPhone's restrictions to record phone calls. Can this software be used to unscramble/uncover the "restricted" portion of the recording?

A
Answer by Ashish Bajaj

No, Audacity cannot unscramble or uncover the restricted portion of the recording.

To add a new LV2 effect, place its complete .lv2 folder (not the files alone) at the top level of any of the following locations:

  • Users\\AppData\Roaming\LV2 (or Documents and Settings\\Application Data\LV2 on Windows XP)
  • Program Files\Common Files\LV2 (or Program Files (x86)\Common Files\LV2 on 64-bit systems)

Then, use Effect > Manage... to enable the LV2 effects and load them into Audacity. Restart the program and now your newly installed effects should be cached and ready to use.

Iget the following error:


The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Answer by Roland Diskayne

Try using [Revo Uninstaller][1]. Even if it can't uninstall the application normally, it will force it to uninstall by wiping out all traces of its presence from the system.


After that, try running [AdwCleaner][2] to make sure that there are no leftover rogue registry keys or toolbars in your system.


After these steps you can reinstall the Audacity software.

I am at present copying LPs to my pc, and to the Audacity software I have installed. For some reason or other I have copied one side of a record onto one track, and the other to another track. On reading through the operation procedures, I read that I could get both tracks onto one, but when I came to have a go at this, I find that the cut, copy & paste buttons are all disabled. Is there any reason for this? Any help will be useful. Thanks

Answer by Guest

The two tracks will be mixed whe you export the song as WAV, OGG or MP3. I have the problem with cut/copy/paste too.

Answer by Leonard Moore

Using this program you can't upload a file to SoundCloud directly. The program doesn't have such function. After you edited a music file using Audacity, you first need to save it / export it to your computer and then upload it to SoundCloud.

I've checked the specifications of the Audio Technica AT-LP60 and it says the following:


Dual RCA (female) to 3.5 mm (1/8") mini-plug (male) stereo adapter cable; dual RCA (female) to 3.5 mm (1/8") mini-plug (female) stereo adapter cable; 45 RPM adapter


You will have to connect the device to your PC through the Line-IN Stereo Jack (blue input!) and then select it in the Audacity program and it will be recognized.

Answer by Julia Bocchetta

No, it can't. Audacity displays the wave graphs of frequency used by the audio file. There is no way to isolate the vocals.

S
Answer by Sean Hill

This means that there is no sound recording setting configured. Access the sound application from the system tray of your computer and configure the recording options and inputs from that location. Once you have finished, restart Audacity and it will work. Additionally, go to the settings menu on Audacity and check the recording options.
