Re: Add templates for tracks

Are you aware that you don't have to create the tracks before you start recording? Just press "R" (or click the Record button) to start recording as many channels as you have selected in the device toolbar . Shift + R (or shift + Record button) to record to new tracks (rather than appendin...

Re: Pinnacle pre-amp

Which version of Windows?

Assuming a fairly recent version, look in the Windows Sound Control Panel and check that the "Recording" device is set to record "2 channels stereo", then look in the device toolbar and ensure that Audacity is also set to record 2 channel stereo.

Re: I recorded over my file

i silenced my project before save. Can I get it back? If you mean "muted" (clicked the track "Mute" button), then you can just click it again to unmute, but I guess you mean that you actually converted the tracks to "silence" (flat line). If you converted the tracks to...

Re: Audacity no sound: over-ruled by other audio-applications?

Sorry, I missed that. There are currently three similar topics on this forum, and all are on Arch Linux, so it is looking very likely that this issue is specific to Arch Linux. As I don't have an Arch Linux system, I'm resorting to searching the Internet to try and find what's different from Debian ...

My Macbok Pro has a Retina display and I do not experience a blurry Audacity
Perhaps it's a matter of opinion what classes as "blurry". Audacity's bitmap images are fairly low resolution, so they're not as smooth and sharp as they could be.

Re: digitizing vinyl collection

I should record at 44100 Hz and 32-bit sample format and then Export WAV files at 44100 Hz 16-bit PCM or FLAC? Yes. FLAC may be 16-bit or 24-bit. The difference in terms of quality is insignificant for Vinyl but 24-bit FLAC files are much bigger than 16-bit, so I'd recommend 16-bit FLAC. If disk sp...

Re: Audacity no sound: over-ruled by other audio-applications?

The drop-down menu for the audio-devices in the the device toolbar contains only one entry "Alsa". "ALSA" is the "host". "default", "Pulse", and some other options including "...some description...(hw:0,0)" should be available in the two &...

Re: Is there a way to macro "append audio file to the end of the current file"?

You don't need a macro for this. 1) Import the main audio file 2) Import the "tag" that you want at the end (it will appear below the track created in step 1) 3) Ctrl + A (select All) 4) "Tracks menu > Align Tracks > Align End to End" When you "Export" the project, the ...
