Audacity Forum

If you are still having problems, after taking steve's advice: Note that if the sample rate of your input and output devices are different, you can get this error. Check that the Audacity project rate (lower left-hand corner) and the Windows sample rates are the same. For the Windows rates, in the W...

Hello I am on Windows 8.1 I have just recorded myself speaking and when I play it back it is too fast and high pitched. The last time I recorded myself speaking it was fine - right speed, right pitch - I have changed no settings in the meantime. Please help! This can happen, for example, if you rec...

I very much doubt that Audacity will develop in this direction within the foreseeable future.

Unless, of course, lytnin88 writes one.

...I think going forward it's probably easiest to run an absolute minimum amount on the computer and use a secondary computer for other things we use during the podcast like Chrome searches. For people who do not have a second computer, sometimes a stand-alone recorder such as an H4n can be an attr...

... when I apply the effect it immediately starts accelerating the song at a fever pitch and ends at a tempo that is not even recognizable as a song. I obviously don't understand how this effect works.. So what parameters were you using? ... I would like to create a track that gradually increases t...

So if you scroll out to the max it doesn't end up a tiny slice on the far left of your screen? Yes, of course it does, but why do that unless you need to see hours beyond the end?

I run into clipping quite often. Still, -20dB seems extremely low. What factors should be considered in setting my level?...

I'm not sure what you're doing to be able to expand the window. I tried clicking the side and pulling and it will only move that "save" window around the desktop. It seems to work on Windows 10 for me: I hover on the right (or left) edge until the cursor changes into a double-headed arrow, then I d...

So I have a section of audio I need to cut out of a long recording but I need to double click between two markers in order to select the piece to delete. No you don't need to double click on anything. 1. Click on the track's "Select" button to select the track. 2. Click in the label text area. 3. P...

...I am disabled so I only have one hand. Why must all these things require two handed operations? It's as if the people who develop Audacity never need to get things done in a hurry and instead want to arrogantly show off their memory of keyboard shortcuts. So if you would like to contribute a spe...
