Audacity Forum

I do have some files that I want to keep, and I also have a verity of plugins and the LAME MP3 encoder installed. If I uninstall everything, will I loose any or all of that data? Will I need to reinstall everything?

While doing some computer maintenance, I noticed that there are two instances of Audacity 2.1.3 with the date 20/04/2017, and version 2.2.2 with the date 31/01/2019 installed on my Windows 64 bit laptop. Why or would my system require both instances to run the application? Initially I uninstalled th...

Well... it’s been about a year since I posted a question regarding upgrading Audacity. I wrote a few months back about VST Plugins, and Gale suggested that I upgrade then to Audacity ver. 2.1.0 or 2.1.1, so that I could have real-time preview for most third-party effects. I am now interested in tryi...

You sort of half lost me? I’m not familiar with the terminology “Flat Line”, and I thought I understood the “Wave” concept... but maybe not? I was under the impression that all source input were first recorded as a .wav file, and then converted to some other file format? Like I said above, all I did...

Well... I’m now thinking that I might need something like the Virtual Keyboard or some other Synth plug-in anyway? I’m primarily a guitarist and most of my other devices are more current technology. I was just wanting to had a simple piano part on a separate track. Anyway, I have this old Roland XP-...

I’m looking for a good, malware free and safe VST Plug-in Virtual Keyboard software, so I can use my Roland XP-80 music keyboard in Audacity Ver. 2.0.3 on my Winddows 8.1 Laptop PC. Is there already a VST Plug-in that you can suggest? I found a free download on line called “Virtual Keyboard” from pr...

Back in January 2015, I wrote regarding some of these similar issues regarding Audacity. (See above thread.) And now I am a little unclear if I even upgraded Audacity at that time or not? At that time I was grappling with the Win. 8.1 upgrade, and to date Audacity has been working on all my files. I...

Hi Steve and Gale, Thank you again both for your fast replies... OK, just so I’m clear on the order of the steps I need to perform, to upgrade Audacity... correct me if I’m wrong. First, upgrade Audacity 2.0.6 the current version with this or the Zip file link; http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/a...

Thank you Steve, I will look into Roland's sound card drivers, but I am still hesitant to upgrade to the newer version of Audacity. My concern is more on the Windows 8.1 Op. Sys. side of the equation, rather than the bugs I may or may not encounter with Audacity. But I will definitely keep it under ...

Hello again! Not sure if Koz or Trebor remember me, but I have a couple of Audacity questions that I need help with. But first of all... let me personally thank you both again for the help you provided me with a year ago, I really learned so much about mastering and fixing errors. But what I’m wanti...
