When I import a backing track, and then record some tunes on my penny whistle, and then add a little reverb etc. When I play both back, even if I lower the backing. The main tune (whistle) fades in and out, any idea why this is please.

Not sure what could be wrong in your situation, but we import mp3s into WLMM all the time. Have a good look to make sure you are actually trying to import the correct file. A

Hello, Thanks a lot for sharing your posting your hard work on UA-cam , I have a question, After exporting the audio tracks and importing the tracks to different DAW I find latency on some of the tracks , I tried different daws and i still hear the latency so I am sure this problem belonged to audacity, Can you advice me how to solve this problem? Thanks
thanks! i was sorta hoping youd cover the various options for different types of wav file but im using audition so perhaps i should bounce over to audacity , cheers from sweden!
Thank you so much, this helped me LLLOOOOOOAAAAAAADDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I needed to make background music but I could only do it on audacity and they needed it in an MP3 file! THANK U!!!!!!
Andrew -- Have you a tutorial on "Export Multiple" - entering data on the screen has many fields and a template, etc. For some reason, this screen displays former export names and titles that I must edit. Is there a way to create a template within the same album so that all that is needed is to add song track names?
Thanks for the lesson. I have found that when I render in MP3 the sound file grows by a few frames and makes my audio out of sync with the video that it is paired to. Any thoughts what might be cause this?
You're welcome Caleb. If you are new to Audacity be sure to check out my other tutorials and Video Guide to Audacity at my site MakeAndBreakEducation (link in the video description). Lots to learn in there. Thank you, Andrew
This is a great tutorial! Although i'm trying to save a file so i can open it in Windows Live Movie Maker but it doesn't seem to be working, Is there anything you could suggest that would help? Thanks :)
Question: I don't know if you ever record an audio track separately, and then, later on, want or need to insert it into a video project ... but, which file format (WAV or MP3) should be or needs to be used in order to be able to edit correctly or properly so that there aren't any problems or hiccups during and even after the video editing and subsequently, file saving process ends so that the video, with the added soundtrack, plays correctly? Thank you, for your time and consideration. Thumbs up on your video.
Hi Helios. If you are interested in maintaining the best quality you may want to consider using WAV or another uncompressed format. As for using MP3, use the highest setting you can and it will keep the quality high. I have more info on this in the Video Guide to Audacity. If you are new to Audacity then check out all my tutorials on the Video Guide to Audacity (Link in the video description). Lots to learn in there. Thanks, Andrew
Hi Terry. If you have exported the music as an MP3 or WAV, etc. then you can import it but you will not be able to edit individual tracks. If you want to learn more about Audacity and how to edit sound, be sure to check out my other tutorials and Video Guide to Audacity at my site MakeAndBreakEducation (link in the video description). Lots to learn in there. Thank you, Andrew
Thanks again Andrew.I'm slow but persistent.I'm liking all of what I'm watching.Nice fiddling by the way.My dad and brother played fiddle so it's very familiar to me.
My exported 16 bit WAV file, played in windows media player, sounds DDDDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAStically different from how the exact same song sounded when I played it in Audacity. Am I doing something wrong, or does Audacity's mix and export just suck ass?
Thanks Tris. My pleasure. If you are new to Audacity be sure to check out my other tutorials and Video Guide to Audacity at my site www.MakeAndBreakEducation.com . Lots to learn in there. Thank you, Andrew
When I record piano, via stereo cable.. I have to have a low volume to avoid static(removing static in the program does not work) ...im wondering why I get static? Is is my cable or is there something else I need to figure out?!?!??
So hey i just bought a really nice mic but everytime i record my voice it sounds good in adacity...but when i export it, it sounds really bad...idk what to do help plz! Thanks
Thanks. I'm trying to save a few drum samples in 22050 hz, but after exporting and opening them again in audacity, they're in 44100 hz again which I can't use. What do I do? I used track>resample to change to 22k hz in the program.
Good video. I exported a 45 into my computer as an mp3. Tried to find in my Media Player library but could not. Re-exported it as WAV. Still couldn't find it in Media Player. If I do a search it comes up, the mp3 comes up and will play using Media Player (the WAV does not come up). When I search the C drive in My Computer, I can't find their locations at all. How do I add them into my Media Player Music library? Thanks.
Hi Fromdxb, I am not sure what this could be by it sounds more like a computer system problem and not Audacity. Could it be a problem with your computer? Run some updates and maintenance. Let me know? Andrew
Mr. Charlie. I have windows program. I couldn't do it... What Can I do if I have downloaded Audacity but it has blocked many options like "export" ? I'll be grateful with your help.
Hey Marian, You can just go FILE - QUIT Audacity. It will be out of Audacity when you start it again. If you want to delete it from your computer, just find it on your system and delete the files and folders associated with it. Andrew
