Re: Why Are New Tracks Always Added to the End? You Should be Able to Add Them After the Selected Track

but building from source and writing my own plug-in currently seems like several orders of magnitude more work than just dragging every stupid track up as I add them :D I totally understand :D Nevertheless, if you enjoy Python, then you'll probably love mod-script-pipe when it reaches the repos. Th...

Re: Why Are New Tracks Always Added to the End? You Should be Able to Add Them After the Selected Track

machineghost is talking about the "vertical" position of new tracks. Example: If you have a project with 20 tracks, and you import an audio file, the file is always imported as the bottom (final) track in the project. In large projects it is good to organise tracks in a logical order, whic...

Re: No Headphone Output on Mac 10.14 with 2.3 Audacity

ich bin an dem Problem verzweifelt und habe alles durchgesucht. Ich bestätige, was ericoutloud 11.04.19 geschrieben hat. Natürlich habe ich den Kopfhörer angeschlossen und es auch mit mehreren versucht Das muss ein Fehler bei Audacity sein, da alle Kopfhörer bei der Audioausgabe bei allen anderen A...

Re: Why Are New Tracks Always Added to the End? You Should be Able to Add Them After the Selected Track

I am fluent in Python; I just didn't realize that Nyquist macros could be written in Python! Not exactly "macros". Let me tell you the catch first before you get too excited. As yet, no mainstream Linux distributions ship Audacity with this feature enabled. It is being shipped for the fir...

Re: Why Are New Tracks Always Added to the End? You Should be Able to Add Them After the Selected Track

Unfortunately I'm not fluent in parentheses-based programming language How about Python? Look, ultimately the devs behind Audacity either want to improve it or they don't. Pretty obviously they do want to improve Audacity, since they volunteer countless hours of their "spare time" doing s...

Re: Why Are New Tracks Always Added to the End? You Should be Able to Add Them After the Selected Track

As a workaround, you could create a Nyquist Macro (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/nyquist_macros.html) to move the bottom track up to below the selected track. I've not tried this, but I think it should work.

Re: Unable to output via DisplayPort

From the audio device info, you can see that Audacity recognises 3 display port stereo outputs (ID 0, 1 and 2). What happens when you select each of those as the playback device in the device toolbar?

I think it's a good idea. I made the same request myself many years ago. It's a very small team of developers.

Re: Windows 10 upgraded last night. Today Audacity will not record.

If you're using "WASAPI loopback", there needs to be an active audio stream (something playing) for Audacity to record. Audacity will wait in record mode until there is an active audio stream.

Re: VU meter always pegged

What would cause my VU meter to be pegged continuously even when there is silence? A corrupt sample can cause that. I've only seen this in old versions of Audacity (2.2.1 is an old version), but what can happen is that a processing error can produce a sample value that is not a valid number (a &quo...
