Audacity Forum

Steve and Gale: Thanks for all your support. The fact that is that the error in 2.0.1 appears to be intermittent. I did several successful sliding time scale/pitch shift conversions with 32 bit float before the error happened again, and this was with a much smaller WAV file. All I can say is that af...

Ok, Steve.

I will use 32 bit float with HQ conversion dither set to "none".

When I am only going to do simple editing such as cutting and pasting with no other processing, I will set the default sample format to 16 bit since in this case, the export will be lossless (right?).

If I am going to do any other processing at all, I wil...

At Steve's suggestion, I am starting a new topic because I want to be 100% clear on my quality settings. My tracks (WAV, FLAC) are almost always from classical music sources. These are either ripped from CDs or are music downloads. I always convert MP3 to WAV or FLAC before importing into audacity. ...

PGA and Steve: I have had the quality set to 16 bit for a long time. I always work with WAV or FLAC. All my edited tracks in Audacity are eventually burned to CD-R. I wanted the quality to match that of PCM. When I first started using Audacity, I kept the default of 32 bit float. But I was getting s...

PGA:

Did you apply 12% or -12%?

I applied a 12% reduction (-12%).

Anyway, I reinstalled 2.0.1, got the error and did a screen print. Here is the link:
