Re: [IRCA] Audacity editing problem

2015-12-21 Thread Mike Hawkins
Look for both a difference in sample rate as well as the bit rate.  I do
some editing on files using 44.1 KHz, while others use 48 KHz.  A
difference in bit rate (as someone else mentioned earlier) could also make
a difference.  The difference would be even more pronounced if sample rate
is also off.

They COULD have anti-malware running on a Mac, but there aren't any
anti-virus products for Mac.

Re: [IRCA] Audacity editing problem

2015-12-21 Thread R. Colin Newell
There are anti-Malware products for MAC -- but they are largely not
needed...

And the product "MacKeeper" is, within itself, Malware - and in my
professional opinion... rubbish.

My earlier point was: Record some audio with as few APPs running in the
background.

Perhaps the creator of this thread can record some clear audio on a local
station
and export as a 128kbps MP3 and send me directly.

Re: [IRCA] Audacity editing problem

2015-12-21 Thread Saul Chernos
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I have incorporated some, and am 
working this through. I think for whatever reason it is affecting FM 
recordings, and not AM, or at least not noticeably, and I think I noticed  
something that may have been going on longer, and that I noticed it because of 
a clip that had static on it and a sudden burst of sound - from a meteor 
scatter clip I saved. I am not convinced it's happening to the same degree on 
all clips, and I'm experimenting around. Colin, I will in a day or so take you 
up on your offer to listen to a clip of a local, especially if I don't resolve 
things to my satisfaction first. I seem to be OK with AM clips. I would likely 
benefit by finding and reading an Audacity tutorial and/or manual, because I am 
winging it in minimalist fashion.

Thanks, again!

[IRCA] Audacity editing problem

Audacity problem. It's started warbling audio after I delete the excess and 
save the patch I want. Sounds like it's under water. I've even deleted my copy 
of Audacity and downloaded a fresh new one. Still happens. Any ideas?
