Maybe in a future version?
Maybe.
If there are no objections, I'll put it in for the next release, but we are very close to freeze, so no promises.

Re: Make all Tracks Fit

but I have a coding background. If you want to make the modification yourself, this bit of code is in ControlToolBar.cpp. The Audacity 2.2.2 source code is here: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/tree/f665e6da2b0bf9d889f65ee59e8d507c4bca2de8 Build instructions for macOS are here: https://github....

Just out of curiosity... What language is Audacity written in?
Mostly C++

Re: Make all Tracks Fit

Why does this work for stereo recordings, but not when there are 3 channels/tracks? It's not that it "doesn't work". It works exactly the way the code tells it to work. This is the relevant bit of code: if (recordingChannels > 2) { newTrack->SetMinimized(true); } which is saying, "if...

Re: Make all Tracks Fit

That doesn't work when I have Audacity's "Recording Device" pointing to my virtual Loopback device which has 3 channels and I have Audacity's "Channels" set to 3. From the code, the behaviour that you observe appears to be what is intended, though I tend to agree that it is not ...

Re: 16-bit limit from CD, 24 bit needs better source?

Audio CDs do not usually contain metadata, as it is not part of the orange book specification. Information about the contents of audio CDs is usually drawn from the Internet, based on a unique ID for the disk. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDDB) It is possible for audio CDs to contain text informat...

Re: Improve editing functions

As someone that also has many years experience editing audio, I think I do understand your needs. However, one thing that I don't understand is why you want to switch from Soundforge to another editor. Becoming totally familiar with an audio editor takes time, and it unusual for people to switch fro...

Re: Improve editing functions

I say again: once you have defined a selection to edit with the keybaord in Audacity, you cannot undo it. You have to redefine the desired edit and hope you get it right. This is tedious and time-consuming. It's also not true. Personally I prefer to use a scroll wheel mouse. "Ctrl + Mouse Whee...

I'm wondering if it makes sense to use the FLAC, because in reality...you know, those MP3's may be as golden It absolutely makes sense to keep a backup copy in a lossless format (such as WAV, FLAC or AIFF), in case you ever need to edit or process the files in the future. The FLAC format has the ad...
