Re: Need advice about a bio-acoustics project using Audacity

i found a python wrapper for it (Vampy) Unfortunately it looks like development of Vampy has slowed down to nothing over the last few years. I've not tried building from source, but I've not been able to get Audacity to recognise the pre-built binaries (testing with Audacity 2.3.1 alpha on Linux). ...

Re: digitizing vinyl collection

You will probably find these tutorials helpful: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_copying_tapes_lps_or_minidiscs_to_cd.html Tip: start with your worst records.

Re: digitizing vinyl collection

16-bit FLAC. It has the same "quality" performance as audio CD, and typically around 40% smaller than 16-bit WAV. It also has much better support for metadata tags than WAV. The downside for FLAC is that some players (notable Windows Media Player) do not support FLAC without adding "d...

Re: Playback Audio Blank

Which version of Windows?
Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity")

Re: waveform transform during audio playback

This is unlikely to happen because Audacity is a "what you see is what you get" type editor (also known as "destructive editing"). The entire architecture of Audacity is designed around modifying the audio data and displaying the data as it actually exists in the project. There i...

Re: Menu select item stuck on screen after menu has closed.

Thanks for the report, but I can't reproduce this, and I've not seen any other reports of this issue.
Perhaps it is a slight glitch in your graphics card drivers - have you checked that they are the exact right drivers for your hardware (not just the generic Windows drivers)?

Re: Off Pitch and Clicking while overdubbing? Version 2.3.0

Check that the "sample rate" is the same in: 1) The "Project Rate" setting (bottom left corner of the main Audacity window) 2) The "recording device" settings in the Windows Sound Control Panel 3) The "playback device" settings in the Windows Sound Control Pan...

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

Audacity 2.3.0 is not an official release for Linux, and is known to have some pretty bad bugs. In particular, running effects that have "real-time preview" will cause Audacity to crash. The current release for Linux is 2.2.2. The next release will be 2.3.1 and is scheduled for Jamuary. au...
