Thanks for the replies, and sorry for being a pain. Labeling on the fly while recording is working VERY WELL after (temporarily) disabling the Start/Stop Spacebar shortcut. Another usability observation While recording, the waveform progresses to ~80% across the view window, and before it runs off t...

one cannot effectively add labels on the fly because an inadvertent `key press´ will stop the recording We have recently disabled some key presses during recording for exactly this reason. Do you recall which keys cause the problem? YES.. found out what KEY interrupts RECORD . It's the Spacebar ! L...

If you look in Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Audacity\audacity.cfg, your modified keys are listed in the [NewKeys] section. Now that you mention the CFG file, there are two file PATHS defined: DefaultOpenPath = E:\\- MEDIA 720\\- RADIO SHOWS\\ [ Export ] Format=FLAC Path =E:\\- MEDIA 720\\...

Thought I'd list the custom hotkeys , it's hard to remember which ones: Amplify Alt+A, Equalization Ctrl+Alt+E, Fade In Shft+F, Fade Out Ctrl+Alt+F, Silence Alt+S. Since the topic is about LABELS, the Hotkeys are: Export Labels Ctrl+Alt+L, Import Labels Ctrl+Alt+Q (that's my hint.. import quotes). ...

Win7, 64-bit SP1, Audacity 2.1.2 (2.1.3a) BTW I have 6-10 custom hotkeys defined: one for Amplify (Alt+A), one for Silence (Alt+S), two for Fade-In and Fade-out ... Ed, you might want to try the Studio Fade Out that Steve wrote - for my money it gives a much better "professional sounding" fade than ...

We have recently disabled some key presses during recording for exactly this reason. Do you recall which keys cause the problem? Have you customised any of the keyboard shortcuts or do you use the default shortcuts? Hi and thanks for the great reply. Can't tell you specifically which key or keys in...

Just be careful Ed when you move point labels - just make sure you have grabbed the center white dot - if you grab on of the angled handles you will end up stretching it out to create a range label (these can be useful) - but it's virtually impossible to turn a range label back into a point label. ...

Export Labels... opens at whatever DefaultOpenPath is, as stored in audacity.cfg. DefaultOpenPath is the directory you last opened or imported an audio or label file from. In the absence of any preference as to where Export Audio opens, Export Audio should also open at whatever DefaultOpenPath is, ...

1) I'm still having trouble adding SILENCE to an audio/ label track sync pair. The Label track isn't shifting, even though it's sync'd. If you are generating rather than pasting, I agree. I notice that it broke in 2.1.1. I will add it to Bugzilla if it's not already there. Done: http://bugzilla.aud...

Ctrl+B marks the current cursor position - you can also use Ctrl+M to mark the current recording/playback position. Good tip, thanks! The ability to add LABELS `on the fly´ is a BIG feature , which I just discovered. And it works while recording too, not just playback. ;) Later on, you can go back ...
