New to all this. I have a Yeti blue microphone that connects to my PC using USB and trying to record a podcast using Audacity. When I record, I keep hearing a buzzing sound. I do not know if this is a mic issue or a software issue. You can listen to the sample audio at So I can hear some white nois...

I'm new to Audacity, though I've seen and heard other people transfer their 78rpm, 45rpm and even LP Records from their record players into Audacity, and I'm attempting to do the same thing here. My set up involves a Dell Latitude and or a Lenovo Idea Pad (I've tried and regularly use both), runnin...

Hello, The build.txt that is on the repo says you have to use Python 2.7 to build Audacity. But it looks like all python 2 scripts has been updated to python3. Am I right? In that case, the instructions on build.txt might needed to be updated. Looking foward to 3.0 release! Thanks! Rafa See this pu...

Basically, when zoomed in say with a stereo track L&R. When I perform any edit...like cutting, region divide...etc....the view would zoom back way out. It did not do it at first. But shortly after.
