Re: 2.1.2 on 10.10.5 won't launch after upgrade

The very initial problem was, in fact, "I'm out of room for temp files". RFE: "Make audacity pop up a dialog when it runs out of room to write files in the tempdir". :-) We already have a bug open for that (something we should fix): http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437 . +1 :-) RFE:...

Further: FWIW, I have a registered copy of Loopback installed on this machine, my MBP 7,1.

Re: 2.1.2 on 10.10.5 won't launch after upgrade

Two clarifications: I didn't do the TempDir mod in the pinned post as I have it set to my own specific location in the root of a partition with enough space, and that's where it's been locking.... hey; how's it still know? Does a launcher icon track the file rather than the pathname? [ Edit: this ap...

2.1.2 on 10.10.5 won't launch after upgrade [SOLVED]

Ok, it was upgrade time -- a batch of 320kbps MP3's wouldn't batch-import reliably (later ones came in as flatline, even though they would import properly as a single file import) -- and I wasn't on the current release. Grabbed the 2.1.2 dmg, opened it, dragged, chose Merge (which might have been a ...

Re: Voice over tinny sound needs fixed

Yes, my Maxell sounds nice *in a decent room*. I have lately been recording theatre pre-show announces, and I've been doing it *in* the (relatively well damped) theatre auditorium, up in the booth, with no close-damping except the back wall, which is usually to my right. It represents my voice well ...

Re: Free space for editing

"Will less than double" is the magic phrase, implying that undo *is* handled at the chunk level, and that the phrasing in the release notes which inspired this thread is somewhere between pessimistic and wildly pessimistic, depending on what and how you edit. Thanks. :-)

Re: Recordings at 192 kHz very faulty

And a quick note on "magically started working" that I haven't seen pointed out yet: Operating systems are prone to be set to automatic upgrade these days. If a component on the critical path of your problem was touched, that could explain why it was reliably failing to work, and now it's reliably w...

Re: MP4 from Youtube short-loaded using FFMPEG

Sounds like; in case I didn't already say, I loaded it directly into Audacity via FFMPEG.
