Yes I realized that I had to re enter the whole long file again, but the same thing happens even if I do a minimum amount of editing, ie only set markers and export. I loaded Audacity on my computer at work and have been able to successfully do the editing and multiple exports w/o any problem. Is t...

when I click to download the Audacity plugin, there's a screen of words instead of a download link. Certainly that's the program, yet I have no clue how to make a screen full of words become a plugin. Help for idiots like me would be greatly appreciated. Right-click on the link then download it to ...

One item. The web site claims the ability to record both sides of a VOIP call. Actually a number of software packages can do that, but can it record me on left and them on right? That's Pamela's trick allowing extensive production and filtering at no great effort. Koz According to the manual (I hav...

Unfortunately Audacity has a history of not working with Jack - Audacity can work with Jack, but it is often difficult to persuade them to play together. (Full Jack support is one of the most important feature requests for Linux musicians). There's a Jack OSX version as well. I tried it an abandone...
