Controls all out of place in a big mess

I downloaded version 2.3.1 and when I make a new file, all the control panels are piled up in a big jumble in the middle of the screen. How can I get them to appear in their default positions? It happens every time, even if I drag them by hand to new positions, then the next time I open a window the...

Re: Dansrue cassette->mp3 device error -9986 / crashing

It does disappear from System Preferences. I am using the cable that came with the device, and it is going through a hub. I'll try directly connecting and see if that works... no - directly connecting has the same problem. I don't have another cable of this type. Honestly this thing is kind of crapp...

Dansrue cassette->mp3 device error -9986 / crashing

Hello, I bought a Dansrue cassette player which converts to mp3. Following the instructions, and reading other posts on this forum, I think I have it set up correctly. In the System Settings Sound Preferences, I have the USB PnP Audio Device selected as the Input. When I play the cassette, the meter...

Making low-frequency sounds audible on cheap speakers?

Hello, I hope this is the right board to post this question. I have a small library of sound effects which are being used in a game for the Nintendo 3DS. They are all 8-bit 11Mhz files. I have a problem where several of the sounds are very low-frequency effects with mostly bass sounds. These sound g...

Re: where to set WAV file output specs?

With the new version, it appends '.aiff' instead of '.wav' to these exports. Is there a way to make it use '.wav' automatically or do I have to correct that typing manually each time?

Re: where to set WAV file output specs?

Well yes, I know about those project settings, but the old version I have has a Preference setting to set the uncompressed export format. I have a big library of sounds that are for a game with not much memory, so they are all mono 8-bit WAV files. I have to open each one, amplify it, and save it ba...

where to set WAV file output specs?

Hello,

In the old version of Audacity, you can set the rate and bit-depth of the default WAV file export. But I don't see it in the new version. Was that taken out for some reason, or am I just not seeing it?

Thanks
