Removing SILENCE using Audacity.

In this recording, it took me quite a while to actually start playing after pressing the RECORD button. Have a listen to the below. Hang in there! There really is some music on this track! 1794591672472147 Obviously it is unacceptable to have such a long wait before the music starts playing. We can ...

Adjusting the Bass and Treble on an MP3 using Audacity.

How many times have you made a recording as an MP3, and then some time later wished you'd had the 'balance' set up differently when you had done the original recording? All is not lost, as you can change the amount of Bass and Treble afterwards using Audacity ie. there is a 'Tone Control' you can ap...

Re: A request - Myfanwy.

Ken, Have done some research on this, and hope this is the song you were asking us about. Myfanwy (a woman's name derived from annwyl, beloved) is a popular Welsh song, composed by Joseph Parry and first published in 1875. Parry wrote the music to lyrics written by Richard Davies ('Mynyddog'; 1833-7...

True Love Ways. A Buddy Holly number. Played on my AR80 organ.
