The "Import Raw Data" allows only up to 16 channels.
Is there an option to change it to 18 ?

There's no built-in way to do that unless you are a C++ programmer / developer. It would require modifying the Audacity source code and creating a custom build.

Ideally, I'd like the output name to be identical to the files processed by the chain (i.e. 'filename.wav' to 'filename.txt') to be clear, which code are you talking about? This is an 11 page topic and I'd rather not have to read all of it. I do notice that in the first few posts, there are now (6 ...

Here's a simple example of using *scratch* to keep count of the number of tracks processed. Each time the effect runs and a track is processed, *scratch* is increased by 1. Selecting the "Reset" option returns *scratch* to its valueless ("unbound") original state: ;version 4 ;con...

PS: is there some sort of debugging that can be switched on? Might it help at all? There is a "log" window. If I recall correctly, it is in the Help menu for Audacity 2.1.2. It is unlikely to help, but no harm taking a look. Most of the debugging is turned off in release builds so as to a...

What's the total duration (in seconds)? 1 minute of mono, 32 kbps CBR MP3 is about 240 kB. For calculating the size, the critical number is the "kbps" (kilobits per second). Each "Byte" is 8 "bits", so 32 kbps = 32/8 = 4 kB per second = 60 x 4 = 240 kB per minute. It is...

I am 100% sure they did. OK, I see that on Windows they did "sort of" work (I rarely use Windows), but according to the manual it seems that they did not quite as they should: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sc4.html#Effect_Output Unfortunately it is unlikely that any bugs in SC4 will...

How strange. I've not seen anything like that before.

Just to rule out one possibility, with Audacity closed, try deleting the folder:
/home/wouter/.audacity-data
(it will be recreated when Audacity is next started).
Then start Audacity.
Any difference?

Wow, this is an old topic.

looked into using *scratch*

That should work if you want a separate (numbered) file on each run. I don't think *scratch* was available back in 2012.
Is that what you want?

See if you can get the "About Audacity" screen up (Audacity Help menu), and then try to copy the "Build Information" and paste into your reply.

FWIW, this workaround doesn't seem to work for me. I have several hw entries, all of which I have checked, and none of which produce any sound. The default sound card (the one that you would expect to work) is hw:0,0 . I see that is not listed in the device toolbar, which indicates that it is proba...
