Re: Arc-DarK theme (Arc-Dark with DarK icons)

While it is pretty to show the level meters in the same blue color as selected buttons, I'm not sure if I like that. I find it a bit "visually confusing" that the same blue highlight color is used to represent two completely different things (selectedness of a control, and signal level). (...

Re: After upgrading from 2.05 to 3.0 Audacity is unresponsive after opening porgram

When I open Audacity the next time, a screen will come up asking me whether I want to discard the former project file, or if I want to save it. That shouldn't happen when Audacity exits normally. How frequently does that happen? We've had another report of what is probably the same thing, but we're...

Re: Analyze spectrum down to 20Hz (and below)

You could use the Change Speed effect which proportionally increases pitch/frequency. A better way would be to "resample" down to a low sample rate, but that's probably not necessary. Why is this seemingly arbitrary limitation built in? The spectral analysis uses something called a "...

Re: Help to identify this cable

It looks like some sort of splitter cable (Stereo mini-jack socket to 2 stereo mini-jack plugs). Possibly intended for recording from a mobile phone / MP3 player to a computer (connecting the headphone output of a player to the line input of a computer + headphones). You would need a mini-jack plug ...

Re: Duplicate Comments in Metadata

Metadata is a constant problem because so many apps use different "standards". Audacity tries to compromise by supporting the most commonly supported tags. In some cases this requires using two versions of a tag - some applications see one version, other applications see the other version,...

Re: "-9999 Unanticipated Host Error" - No Solutions Work!

Instead of plugging the USB into the laptop (which has no stereo analogue input) I fished out an old creative soundblaster 5.1 external unit ( silver with two thumbwheel controls on top) that had been kicking around in a box of bits for around 20 years... I connected the turntable line out to this ...

Re: Sin grabación desde tarjeta de sonido externa

Ensure that the external device is connected before you launch Audacity.

Asegúrese de que el dispositivo externo esté conectado antes de iniciar Audacity.

Re: Silence button fail when multiple projects open

2.4.2 -- am I hopelessly behind the times? You are one version behind. The current version is 3.0.0, but Audacity 3.0.1 is due to be released later this month so I'd suggest that you wait until that's available. It will be announced on twitter and facebook, and available for download from the Audac...
