Yes a third hanging bar to indicate the RMS peak (the bright green). Would this be the "maximum RMS since the start of playback", or the "maximum RMS in the last 3 seconds"? Don't think it would ever be the same as the peak (dark green or blue). If it's the max since start of pl...

OK, so currently when the "RMS meter" is used we have two "peak indicators", one for the highest peak since the start of playback, and one for the highest peak in the last 3 seconds (as shown in image below). Am I right in thinking that you are suggesting adding a third "pea...

I tried to get help but a Windows Media Player opened Do you mean that when you clicked on "Help menu > Quick Help", or "Help menu > Manual", or when you click on one of Audacity's " ? " help buttons, Windows Media Player opens? If so, then your computer needs to be fi...

I think bright green bar so that as the dark green comes down the bright green bar hangs where the RMS level was. The light green bar indicates the peak level. If it "hangs around where the RMS level was", then that will be misleading regarding the peak level. The problem is that there co...

As I wrote previously, ALSA drivers usually support only one client application at a time. If the device is busy (used by another application), it will not be available for Audacity. ("another application" includes your web browser, the PulseAudio mixer, and any other application that uses...

It's much easier for us to provide meaningful help if you provide full and detailed information, such as the name and version number of the plug-in and a link to it's home page / documentation page.

Well this gives me hope it's solvable at least. I expect that if you use "hw" settings for both the recording device and the playback device, the random freezing probably will miraculously disappear. Do you have a recommendation for the best PPA to use right now? Probably the version that...

ubuntuhandbook1/audacity That's here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/audacity This is a long established PPA. I've used it myself in the past. The one thing to be wary of, (with any PPA), is that the PPA builds are not official releases, and no-one tests them, so you can eas...

Interesting idea. This isn't the first time that Audacity has been used for handling large data (and not the first time for marine biology either), though each of these projects have been very different. My starting point is that I don't know much about how music files are encoded By default, Audaci...
