Re: All projects on my computer are silent

I don't remember the exact date. It's not important. Apple has installed security measures and restrictions that make home production a bit of an adventure. Does that process posted by jonburr, above, work? MacOS is built on a very much older system where you had to type everything. No clicking on ...

Re: Audio drifts out of sync

it fills the drum track with blips and glitches and makes it unusable. If you think the problem is from simple sampling errors (matching two slightly different recorders) you might try Effect > Change Speed. That doesn't seem like it should work, but it gently resamples the work at a different rate...

Re: All files broken into out of order pieces

Mac OS X 10.8.5
Mountain Lion. That's even older than the machine I'm typing on now (10.9 Mavericks).

Re: Looping - am I stupid? (don't answer that)

In Audacity 2.3.3, drag-select a portion of sound. Transport > Playing > Loop Play. The cursor takes off and starts playing the segment repeatedly, forever. Space stops. Shift + Space starts looping and Space plays the segment once.
