Yes, something along the lines you describe in your post above would get my vote! Thanks.

1. File > Export uses the "/Export/Path" preference to set the starting directory, i.e. the value of the "Path" variable under the "[Export]" section of the .cfg file. (see source code in src/export/Export.cpp) 2. File > Export Multiple uses the "/Export/MultiplePath" preference to set the starting...

It is always possible to make a change to the Envelope Tool settings at any time provided the project has been sav...

Steve, Thanks for this new version. Having downloaded and played with it, the function is all I could wish for, or need. All I have to do now is to decide which shape of fade I prefer and what fade duration I want. I have worked out where and how to edit the code to add my own default values, once I...

Thanks for the quick response with a new version. I'll download this and play with it over the weekend.

If you did a standard install, it should not have overwritten the 1.3 beta version. You should now have both versions of Audacity installed and available via Start > All programs

That's not the way to do a cross-fade. Apply a gentle fade out to the end of the first track (perhaps 3-7 seconds). Use the Timeshift tool to slide the second track along so that the first few seconds of that overlap with the last few seconds of the first track. Apply a gentle fade in to the start o...

Mixing involves at least two sound sources. What are your two sound sources? How are you getting the two sounds into the computer?
