ALL RIGHT!!!! I'm making major progress here, playing with my existing files, cutting and pasting, almost there.
I think I'm ready for some advice on setting up my my microphone; I am a bit of a distro slut so I know from reading the KRecord handbook that this isn't going to be easy.
Please don't hesitate to ask me for more information if I'm not making myself clear. If I take awhile to answer/update it's because I take awhile to learn. ;)
'kay, the first thing that happens is that I click on the same little red record button I click on in my windoze port of audacity and I get this error message:
"Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device and project sample rate."
Not having a clue how to do this and always on the lookout for back doors, I start playing around with the "Generate" menu, go to Generate>Silence, and once I have successfully created my nothing, I pick up the microphone and click on the record button again to see if anything happens.
Amazingly enough it does! No error message and the little red level shows that the microphone is picking up the sound and recording.
There are only two catches: The volume (too low and using the "amplify" effect just makes it so scratchy as to be unintelligible) and the speed (too slow and the"change speed" effect appears to have no effect).
I greatly appreciate any and all suggestions on the appropriate next stage of my incredible journey.
