Audacity Forum

It sounds like there's a problem with your plug-in locations. I'd suggest that you uninstall all versions of Audacity, then reinstall Audacity 2.3.0 in the default location, and then try installing / enabling the plug-ins. (Audacity 2.2.2 is still available for download, so it could be reinstalled i...

In the Windows Sound Control Panel, look for the focusrite in both the recording and playback tabs and check what the sample rate is set at for each.

Did you do that? Did you find the sample rates for the recording and playback devices? What are they?

I believe my problem came up when editing a "raw" 4 hour .wav, i did trimming, normalizing, etc. Then saved (exported) back to .wav with a carefully built "long name" (not approaching 240, but way more than 8.3). Then in theory, I should dump my project (I don't need a "pro...

What feature does Audacity have now that helps with this sort of adjustment? As Trebor wrote in the first reply: There is a a native Audacity effect called limiter which can do the same thing, but without distortion. For more extreme "levelling", there is a plug-in called "Level Spee...

Our ubiquitous Notepad (which I use often) does it correctly. "Ubiquitous Notepad" has a horrible habit of adding ".txt" to the end of file names that should have other file extensions. If there is a "All files (*.*)" option, then there must also be a robust mechanism ...

How do YOU suggest I avoid the tedium I described? There's a number of issues here, so I'll try to answer that question for each case. Example: You have a .wav file with a 100-character filename. You merely want to convert it (via Audacity) to MP3. I wouldn't use Audacity for "merely" con...

I upgraded to 2.3.0 and it still has this bug. It is not a bug. Compare the behavior with "Wordpad" (the basic word processor that is included with almost all versions of Microsoft Windows). I expect that if we showed all file types when "MP3" was the selected file type, then we...

You all seem to want to call it "exporting" instead of the conventional "saving" "Saving" and "Exporting" are different things. Just as MS Word "saves" word processor documents , and can "export" a PDF, so Audacity "saves" Audaci...

The real trick is walking cold into somebody else's house and quickly make a list of noisemakers and the steps you would need to make a good recording. Those are the people who have been doing this for fifteen years. If you see someone walk into a room that they have not been in before and they cla...
