Re: No sound at all using Microphone

On Windows 10, Microsoft have added a "privacy" setting for recording devices (see: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=348160#p348160) Perhaps they have also rolled out this "improvement" to Windows 7. (I don't have Windows 7, so I can't check. Note that Windows 7 rea...

Re: Problems with download

Nyquist plug-ins are plain text files, but with a file extension ".ny" (rather than ".txt").

Re: API Like Control File and Support Option

Audacity has an API which is accessed via an optional module called "mod-script-pipe". This module allows Audacity to be controlled by sending commands to a "named pipe" (FIFO), so it can be used with any language that supports named pipes (though primarily intended for Python. M...

Re: Audacity Frozen stiff

Re: help recording a song

Hold down the Shift key when you click the Record button (or "Shift + R"). We don't currently recommend YouTube tutorials for Audacity as virtually all of them are out of date, or inaccurate, or misleading, or just plain wrong. The Audacity manual is up to date: https://manual.audacityteam...
