Audacity Forum

If you remember all of your customizations enough to do them again, you can start Audacity from First Birthday by trashing the preferences file. No need to reinstall software. Before I tell you how, did you install 1.3.12 over an earlier Audacity, like 1.2.5? Then the rules could change. Close Audac...

350/440. What happens when you use two tones that don't have clear, unquestioned mathematical relationships to each other? That's just asking for troubles.
