Re: Add "voice" to the MP3 export presets

Note: using the "Average" setting in the Format Options, and selecting 56 kbps for the Quality, doesn't give the exact same results: specifically, it doesn't change the frequency, whereas the voice preset sets the frequency to 32 kHz. Set the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of...

Re: Add "voice" to the MP3 export presets

I would like to request for Audacity to add the "voice" preset here too I think that would be too confusing. For audiobooks (obviously "voice"?), the recommendation is "be a 192kbps or higher MP3, Constant Bit Rate (CBR) at 44.1 kHz" According to the documentation here...

Re: Project Data folder is too big.. huge!

1) Can I save project including UNDO? No, that's not currently an option. besides killing the app in TASKMAN? Don't do that. The undo data will still not be available, and it may corrupt the project losing all of your work. For complex projects, I use "Save Project As..." to create a seri...

Re: Help required

You can’t open the application “Audacity” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. You must have an ancient version of Audacity as we have not produced a PowerPC version in many years. The current version of Audacity is 2.3.0 and is available via the Audacity website: https://www.audac...

Re: Project Data folder is too big.. huge!

Undo data will be present in the project while the project is open, but is deleted when you close Audacity, leaving only the last saved state. This will still be big because the audio data is saved as 32-bit float format, which is around 20 MB per minute of stereo audio at 44100 Hz sample rate. If y...

Re: Audacity User Manual index of subjects

That's much more of a serious problem. In the user's mind, there is no "partial support." I think the home page of the Audacity website is clear about this: https://www.audacityteam.org/ Free, open source, cross-platform audio software Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor ...

Re: Macro: How to make a selection relative to labels

1) Is it possible to reference one ny-macro from another (instead of including the full code)? Nyquist has two "modes" of operation: 1) Traditional Nyquist: As in all of the shipped Nyquist plug-ins (and all of these plug-ins: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug-ins)....

Re: Formatting of posts: buttons have no effect

I found the culprit: It's the McAfee WebAdvisor add-on. As soon as I disable it and reload the page, the buttons work OK (and the captcha in the registration page appears). That's strange, as McAfee's "site advisor" (correctly) classifies this site as "safe": http://www.siteadvi...

Re: Audacity User Manual index of subjects

"Extension:IndexFunction" has been marked as "not actively maintained", so that may have ruled it out as an option. However, I see here that it has been regularly updated over the last couple of years (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/IndexFunction/+log/master)...
