  1. Audacity problems

    Wait! Select All, Effect/Volume and Compression/Normalize... and sound! I may be able to change all my phone sounds (to somethings only birdwatchers can hear and understand) after all! But why can't I instruct the program to default to Normalize rather than have to reset it every time I record...
  2. Audacity problems

    ? Which of these is "Speakers (loopback)"? The way I have it set is the only one through which I get sound at all. Followed manual and reset everything to defaults [Tools/Reset Configuration] then (per manual again) went to AppData/Roaming/and deleted all .cfg files. per manual, I reset...
  3. Audacity problems

    Oh, very different from what I imagined. Does a 'Fork' usually provide a description of its change of course (e.g., This Audacity fork seeks to...)? Where might it put this description?
  4. Audacity problems

    Thanks. If you did use Audacity, and are still into sound, may I ask what similar program you are using now? Can't find this. Closest I can get is .
  5. Audacity problems

    Thank you. I'd never heard the term 'fork' (as related to software). Does a fork happen only when software is no longer being supported (i.e., implying that the software has been abandoned) or can multiple 'forks' occur during the development of their 'plate' software app(s)? Thanks again. I'll...
  6. Audacity problems

    Audacity has been my 'sound' go-to application for years. It was straightforward, powerful, etc. Then I had to deal with other computer problems... Now I've reinstalled Audacity. I generate a sound on the computer (bird song), press the record button, and nothing. The cursor, which should be...
  7. Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)

    v e r y i n t e r e s t i n g... I have not tried the Python approach. Although I have always been interested in learning Python, I haven't had the time to pursue this interest. Thank you. I'll have to try it. (However I have reservations, as I noted.) Even more reservations considering...
  8. Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)

    I wasn't saving files without a descriptive title. COPILOT WAS SAVING EACH 'CONSERVATION' AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT ME KNOWING IT (and, by the way was saving it to the cloud...another matter) and was naming these conversations with unique but totally undescriptive titles. I can't believe no one...
  9. Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)

    Seriously, Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)
  10. Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)

    And the name of that program is???
  11. Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)

    AI generated over 90% of each file; when I asked ChatGPT, it looked at the document from which I addressed it (you can open CoPilot within Word) and provided me with a number of possible alternative names; If I bring up CoPilot I see a list of names it's already given to our 'conversations'--so...
  12. Batch file rename (based on file content, possibly AI related)

    I have a slew of files CoPilot-generated files relating to questions I posed this AI engine. They are all named: CopilotAnswers-unique number,docx I brought up one of these files in Word and asked Copilot if it could rename the file based on its content. It replied it could do so (even provided...
  13. Primitive Email or leaving the Mid(em)ail ages

    Wrong. The email I sent (#14) may have been a reply, but everything that was in it, that I quoted in this post was original, as original as the first post in our conversation. Maybe because I suffered in QA (quality assurance) for 8 years and expect better of current technology, no matter what...
  14. Primitive Email or leaving the Mid(em)ail ages

    Looks like that's not possible.
  15. Primitive Email or leaving the Mid(em)ail ages

    I’m now totally confused. It’s probably going to take someone older (than us whippersnappers) to dig back into his neural archives to sort this out. [This was her reply] No idea what's going on. Probably start a new thread to unconfuse it. I'm not techie. On 2025-03-27 13:28...
