    Thank you Andrew. Was attempting to delete files from within Audacity. Now have tried exiting first, then finding files and deleting and all works perfectly. Many thanks for your time.

    What a seriously awesome tutorial video. Thank you so much. Brilliant player, brilliant style of presentation. Very informative.
    One quick question on Audacity please. 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.

Thanks

    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?

  • @Verolinens
    @Verolinens 8 років тому

    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?

  • @lowerastral1963
    @lowerastral1963 5 років тому

    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.

  • @Beautiful_Sacred_Land

    • @buckydurddle
      @buckydurddle  10 років тому +1

      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.

    Is it possible to bring a saved file back into Audacity to add tracks or edit?Thanks for another well explained tutorial.

    • @buckydurddle
      @buckydurddle  10 років тому

      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.

    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.

    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.
