Re: Audacity will open its GUI, but everything beyond leads to system crash

A lot of "debug" output during start-up from a terminal is normal on Linux. This is what I get: ~$ audacity (Audacity:6466): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init() lilv_world_add_plugin(): error: Duplicate plugin <http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Analyz...

Re: High priority notification when Audacity has stopped recording

Perhaps a good idea to arrange your windows so that the recording meter is visible. This will also alter you if you are talking too loud and clipping. The recording meter may be dragged out of the main Audacity interface and positioned anywhere convenient. (see also: https://manual.audacityteam.org/...

Re: Cannot record; Transport Control is greyed out

Try resetting Audacity:
1) Close Audacity
2) Find the hidden folder ~/.audacity-data/ (where "~/" means your home folder) and delete that folder.

Then reboot, and restart Audacity.
Select the required devices in the device toolbar and make a test recording.

Re: Real-time preview on SC4 no longer working?

The Effect Output bars show no activity If you mean the meters at the bottom of the SC4 effect window, I don't think they ever worked in Audacity. and I can hear no difference Is your waveform close to full track height? If not, try using the Amplify effect first. What settings are you using in SC4...

Re: Simply save the opened file back

Would it be possible to add such a simple Save File menu command? Not really, because Audacity does not operate directly on audio files. Like most other multi-track audio editors, Audacity "imports" and "exports" audio into and out from its native "project" format. You...
