Re: Changing the tempo

A caution that Effect > Change Tempo and Effect > Change Pitch are the two effects most likely to cause sound damage. They have to take the sound apart, only change some characteristics, and then put everything back together when they're done. Thanks, Koz. I had added this additional post to my ori...

it states error opening sound device, advises to change the audio host (there are no other options to select there), playback device, and project sample rate.
Not a Mac guy, but I wanted to double-check that you are running Audacity 2.4.2 on Big Sur.

Re: Internal PortAudio error. No Devices Useable.

Although as feared the problem persists and my drivers are up to date as per listed version. I have checked like before under device manager to ensure the drivers I'm using are indeed the correct ones and they are. I don't believe it's a driver problem now. When audacity first starts up it scans al...

Re: Changing the tempo

So if I slow the piece down because I can't play to the original speed and record the new track at that slow speed will both tracks align when I play back the piece at normal speed? So, what you could do for example, is select the original track (which we will call the click track). Slow it down vi...

Re: EQ

For some reason, I could not find any equalizers in my Effects menu. I was able to correct the problem by going to Tools > Add/Remove Plug-ins (Why is it called Add/Remove Plug-Ins in the menu, but "Manage Plug-ins" in the title window?). Then I located "Filter Curve" and "Graphic Equalizer" and "En...

Re: Can't record - Host processes interfering

In Audacity, the Listen Speaker must be checked to be able to record. There is NO WAY around that. Ok, I am very very concerned about this setting. I believe it is at the heart of the problem you are having. Just what is it that you are trying to record? Audacity cannot record both sides of a conve...

Another time I just placed the cursor at the end of a 40 minute segment I wanted to delete. Then pressed SHIFT and...
