Re: How do I use my Blue Tooth speakers?

The speakers must be connected before you open Audacity. However, even if you do get it working I would advise against using bluetooth speakers because: 1) If you record from a mic. then you must use headphones so as to prevent sound from the speakers being recorded by the mic. 2) Bluetooth devices ...

Re: crash on start up

Ensure that your anti-virus (malwarebytes?) is fully updated, then run the Audacity installer again and, during the installation, select the option to "Reset Preferences". On first launch, confirm to reset preferences. If the problem persists, please test as many menu items as possible to ...

Re: Giving a song more 'body'.

The 1st thing I'd do is Normalize (or Amplify and accept the default). That will bring up the volume if you have any headroom. This is no different from turning-up the volume but sometimes louder just "sounds better" and it won't hurt anything. Then, try some subtle equalization. For expe...

No kidding. We've had several posts lately of users having the exact same issue with this device. It appears to be sold under several different names.
Yes, there have been loads of them :(. Here's another one from just a few hours ago: viewtopic.php?p=356868#p356868

Re: Multiple tracks/outputs

As for an array of Hz frequencies to create the tones needed? Is there such thing in nyquist or do I have to recopy/reuse the function call for as many times as there are notes to be created? Two ways come to mind: 1) Create a plug-in that generates one tone, and has input parameters for each thing...

Re: Use taskbar icon progress indicator for import/export progress

The simplest solution would be to move or copy the files into the same folder before you start. Moving files that are on the same logical drive should be very fast. Copying is slower, but should still be a lot quicker than when importing since the files do not need to be decoded. I'm pretty sure the...

Re: Stretching

But I want to make the things happen at extremely exact times (like 00:04:647) When applying effects, they are applied to the region of audio that is "selected". You can select a region precisely by using the "Selection Toolbar": https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/selection_too...
