Hmm... not sure what could be wrong. Might be a missing dependency somewhere. I'm on Bionic, and setting the Audacity repo back to Artful worked perfectly. Xenial is pretty old. Can you upgrade?

The Artful repo still has version 2.2.2: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuhandbook1/audacity/ubuntu/dists/artful/ So you'd add this repo to Synaptic: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuhandbook1/audacity/ubuntu/ And use artful as the distribution. Then refresh, search for Audacity in the package list, sel...

Thanks. Will there be a new release, or is this something I have to patch and build myself?

Every time I try to use the Bass and Treble plugin, there's a crash. The log says nothing useful. I've tried using a new ~/.audacity-data folder, and there's no change. Oddly, it does seem to work when used as part of a macro (chain). If I run Audacity from the command line, all it says is Segmentat...

Thanks. Unfortunately, that's what I figured... I haven't looked into it, but I'm pretty sure that single-threaded performance has not improved in hardware in a long time, and may actually have gotten worse in some cases. I spent about 3 hours today looking for audio hardware to solve some problems ...

It's taking a long time to apply some of the filters/effects/plugins in my projects. I often use a second computer and let it process there while I continue to record or edit on my main system. Sometimes I turn the monitor off and leave it in progress overnight. I've done all I can on the recording ...

I'll go back to reel-to-reel before I use a Mac. Windows crashes when I run a chain on selections longer than 30 minutes. Besides, my workstation is set up and working nicely with Linux. It seems to me that a feature should be able to be turned on and off. If I had the time, maybe I'd try to roll ba...

I've had to adjust my workflow to accommodate the bug. Basically I've retrained my hands to not use the keyboard while the mouse button is clicked. I still miss a command every now and then, though, and I hope this issue is addressed in the next release. More than that, though, I really, really, rea...

Audacity 2.12 on Ubuntu... er... whatever the latest was yesterday, and I just did the upgrade to the latest today. No change between the two. When I either Edit Chains or Apply Chains, my list is completely unordered. It seems to be totally random, but consistent (the list makes no sense, but it's ...

Right-click and hold, then drag to the right to select some audio. Do not release the mouse button after dragging (as though you might still adjust the selection). Press the spacebar. In 2.1.1: it plays the selection In 2.1.2: it does not play I can reproduce that on Windows 10 (not tested anywhere...
