It seems that the ordering of the AC3 channels has changed between Audacity 1.3.7 and 1.3.8
The new ordering is:
1. L front
2. R front
3. Center
4. LFE
5. L Surround
6. R Surround

1.3.8 is useless anyhow because it refuses to save .aup projects. Time Machine to the rescue...

How sure are you it doesn't let you assign them at the export step? It lets me assign channels (if 'custom mix' is enabled in the preferences), but the target channels just have numbers, not very helpful. Anyhow, I did the trial & error thing, and the correct ordering appears to be: 1. L front 2. C...

I'm trying to make my own AC3 surround track. I have 6 separate channels for Lf, Rf, C, Ls, Rs and LFE respectively. Can anyone tell me in what order I should put these channels to get them assigned correctly when exporting to an AC3 file? I could search the correct channel order through trial & err...

The only way I can get memory usage much over 20MB is to enable memory audio cache in "Edit > Preferences > Directories" Where it says "Hold recorded audio in memory until recording is stopped" is not quite accurate ...

I'm trying to download the Mac 1.3.5 beta but I'm getting endless redirects. It seems as if the file has been erased from all servers?

I bet I know some of this. The early Audacitys were lean, mean, and fast but would routinely trash people's shows because nobody understood how the program managed resources. I wonder if they got around this by never forgetting or leaving any part of the show resource, clip, snippet, or file unmana...

I have tried 1.3.5 (or 1.3.4, if I have to believe the Finder) but I had to go back to 1.3.3 immediately. The new version's memory usage is staggering. While the old version was happy with an RSIZE of about 112MB when freshly opened, 1.3.5 eats 417MB to just launch the program. And it gets worse whe...
