Re: lock labels to specific track location

Labels will normally stay where you put them, but perhaps you have enabled "Sync Lock". If you have, try disabling it. See here for more information: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/syn ... roups.html

Re: Saved - Selectable Multiple Instances Profile Settings

I need to be able to SELECT one or the other of these profiles at the time of Audacity execution. That is, program shortcuts (or scripts etc) for separate Audacity recording profiles. Is this possible and feasible?? Audacity does not currently have that functionality, and it would be difficult to i...

Re: Set track name text box too small

At one point there was the suggestion that hovering over the track name in the TCP would pop up a hover text with the full name. but that doesn't help when entering the name. For display purposes, the name can be shown (in full) as an overlay on the track (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/t...

Re: Problems downloading plug-ins

Installing Nyquist plug-ins is much easier with the latest version of Audacity, as it has a "helper" that copies the plug-in to the correct location for you. The current version of Audacity is 2.3.2 and is available for macOS via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/...

Re: Increasing the maximum length for vibrato

There's a plug-in here that does Tremolo or Vibrato. The length is not limited, but note that the sound quality will gradually deteriorate on long selections, and starts to become noticeable after about 30 seconds. viewtopic.php?p=150279#p150279

Re: How to choose input

With the UCA202 connected, launch Audacity.
Open "Audio device Info" (probably in the Help menu).
When the info appears, use the "Save" button to save the info to a text file.
Attach the saved file to your reply (see: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936)

How do you uninstall LAME? It doesn't seem to be listed in Control Panel or Settings.
Just delete the "Lame for Audacity" folder (including all it's contents).

or the RECIP function
Note that when using RECIP, you still have to guard against division by zero.

Division is not generally useful in itself as a sound effect, because as the divisor approaches zero, the result can become extremely large (far in excess of 0 dB).

Re: Multiplying mix

The division function "/" only works on numbers: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rbd/doc/nyquist/part19.html#index1616 Nyquist does provide a multiplication function that works on number, sounds and multi-channel sounds (See: MULT http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rbd/doc/nyquist/part8.html#index618), which i...
