Audacity Forum

Problem Resolved!!!!!! :D :D :D I was playing around with my preferences and noticed that in the import/export tab the ffmpeg prompt was at the bottom of the order list. So, on a whim, I moved it to the 2nd space for order of how to import files. Tried it out on the mp4 from before, and BINGO! File ...

Did a full shutdown within the last 5 days, let it lay for a full night then started up like normal. It takes maybe 5 minutes to start, and the machine diagnostics say it’s fine. Only problem is with this one feature of audacity.

Thanks, Peter. I have a MacbookPro, as I mentioned on the first message. So, I don't know if this issue is uniquely related to my computer specifically. That's why I came on the forum to troubleshoot. I even reinstalled audacity and re-downloaded the latest 64-bit ffmpeg. That's where we left off. ...

On my MacBook Pro I run latest Mojave 10.14.6 and Audacity 2.3.2 (and the alpha test build for the upcoming 2.3.3). This does not happen on my setup when I import .m4A files - particular I tested importing a couple from my iTunes library a) one that I had created with peaks at about 0.5 (c -6dB) an...

Not a clue. I've been avoiding that last update step because Mojave does some really wacky things. The security is stricter and it's possible Mojave is messing with the FFMpeg install. Even my machine asked me if I was Really Sure I wanted to install that software. The senior elf is on holiday so t...

The sound rate is 48000 standard for video and the show length is 1 min 11.68 Seconds. Screen Shot 2019-09-11 at 19.40.14.png I just hate it when I get toxic chemicals in my exfoliate. Koz I realize that's what it should be, but somehow when importing to my audacity it changes to 8000hz. What's the...
