Audacity Forum

The "Audacity is already running" problem occurs when Audacity is not shut down properly, leaving a "lock file" in place even though Audacity is not actually running. To fix the problem, you need to manually delete the lock file. See here for details: https://forum.audacityteam.o...

There may be a setting to enable / disable this "loopback" behaviour.

Just a thought, if you try to look this up in the Zed manual, they may call it "through" rather than "loopback".

Your original settings were: host = WASAPI This is a relatively new type of sound system for Windows. It has some advantages over the older MME system, but it can be a bit quirky and difficult to set up. Also, some audio devices (most commonly older devices), can be quite buggy with this setting.

As I can't see your computer, I'm trying to build a mental picture of your set-up. Have I got this right: Recording: Korg Kross 2 -> (analog connection) -> Zed 16 FX -> (USB) -> computer Playback: Computer -> (USB) -> speakers Please do this: 1) "Help menu > Audio device info". Wait for th...

I find myself wishing that we instead called it something like "Macro Output" or similar. I agree that would be better, but better still would be an option to specify the export folder in the Export command. Currently this is only available (for more than one file) when using Nyquist-Macr...

Which version of Windows?
Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity")
What does "Obuad" mean?

When batch processing files, you need to put one of the "Export" commands at the end of the list of commands in the Macro. When Audacity gets to that step, it will export the processed track, in the appropriate format, to a "cleaned" folder. (the folder is called "cleaned&qu...
