Re: Razor Tool?

Assuming that you are using the current version of Audacity: Click on the waveform, then "Ctrl + i" If you select a region of the waveform (click and drag), you get two splits, one at each end of the selection. If you have multiple tracks and click and drag across multiple tracks, you get ...

Re: Truncate Silence

So, in effect, what you want to do, is to compress short silences by 50%, and long silences (over 1 second) you want to truncate to 1 second(?) How about running the current version of Truncate Silence twice: First run: compress silences that are longer than 0.22 seconds by 50%. Second run: Truncate...

Re: Suggestion for Change Tempo dialog box

Yes we do - it's the middle section in the Change Tempo effect. Oops. I read the message but not the topic title :oops: The user is asking for an enhancement such that the "BPM to" box could be locked to a value rather than the slider. OK, got it. The problem that I see with that, is that...

Re: Mix and Render not working

I selected that section and just generated silence. Immediately after the rendering and then the export worked. Do you still have a backup copy of the project from before that correction? If you do, that could be very useful for the Audacity developers to find out why the crash occurred and prevent...

Re: Recording above 44.1 Sampling Rate

24/96 seems to be common for hi-res files on Bandcamp, which is where I post my music. The main "benefit" of 24/96 is that a lot of people think that it is higher quality, so that's good for your marketing. In reality, the difference in sound quality between a well mastered recording in 2...

Re: RMS clarification needed
