thanks Steve, that's a lot to check but i appreciate it. i'll check it out tomorrow, hopefully one of those will work I'm re-reading this post and I am considering the possibility that the behavior of the Mute and Solo buttons may be throwing you a curve. This default behavior was changed. See Re: ...

Hi, I was wondering if there is an easy/clean way of backing up any Presets that you might have for the various Effects in Audacity. I believe that the file that contains them is the pluginsettings.cfg. But if, for example, you are doing a clean install and want to pull the Effect Presets from an e...

I have Audacity 2.4.2 and have been a long time user. I have created several macros to help me speed up editing my voice over work, and also have tweaked my preferences (GUI, Custom Track Naming, etc...). Occasionally when I'm working on a project, usually under a tight time-frame, I accidentally s...

I tried Garage Band which recognises the input but only allows the prerecorded sounds whic...

I think it's some imputing/exporting issues with the latest LAME version that causes this to happen. I actually meant I don't want clipping. I want perhaps distortion to make silly earrapes, but again, I want original audio to be recognizable. And newest version also adds some extra peaks to louder...
