Re: "blank" tracks in my Audacity project after a crash and an orphaned block file warning

Unfortunately your .aup file has no references to the audio data, only references to the (empty) tracks. This project cannot be recovered from the supplied data. Your only chance is if you have backups somewhere, which I'm guessing you don't. I would recommend updating Audacity, though that will not...

Re: Saving (exporting) to non-Wav is needlessly tedious

How would you reconcile that with what is here I would say they are wrong on many counts. 1) "we request that you record your audio at the highest sampling rate and bitrate possible" That is not good advice, and certainly not "best practice". Very high sample rates are more like...

Re: adding effect to just one track w overdubbing

Re: Saving (exporting) to non-Wav is needlessly tedious

I just googled the issue and it says I'm betting that "it" is not the documentation : "Changing the project rate in Selection Toolbar immediately changes the sample rate at which new tracks will be recorded or generated in the current project, and at which existing tracks will be pla...

Re: Saving (exporting) to non-Wav is needlessly tedious

When you export a file, the sample rate of the exported file is determined by the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacity window https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sel ... .html#rate)

Yes "LamedropXP" is specifically for MP3 (using LAME). That was just an example - there are many others. Foobar2000 has very powerful transcoding abilities. Their documentation is here: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Foobar2000 and specifically: http://wiki.hydrogena...

This is what I have.
You just need to click and drag in the Equalization "graph" to create the filter shape. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/equalization.html

I’m running the latest version of Audacity
I hope not. The "latest version" is "2.3.1 alpha" and is intended for development and testing only.
Look in "Audacity menu > About Audacity" for the actual version number.
