Re: GSnap problem

Ensure that you have the 32-bit version of GSnap. 64-bit plug-ins are not currently supported by Audacity.

Re: Forcing Audacity to use the default ALSA device (dmix) for output

I've just tested playing a file with:

Code: Select all

aplay -D"plug:'dmix:RATE=44100'" "./test.wav"
and playing Audacity 2.2.2 via dmix at the same time, and it works fine here, so I don't think it is anything intrinsically wrong with Audacity.

Re: Forcing Audacity to use the default ALSA device (dmix) for output

Or maybe Audacity is using it but also reserves the physical device at startup for no reason? Audacity scans the sound system when the application launches (so that it can populate the Device Toolbar with a list of available devices), but it does not reserve any devices. Audacity connects to device...

Re: Forcing Audacity to use the default ALSA device (dmix) for output

Which version of Audacity?
Which Linux distribution?

With Audacity 2.2.2 on Xubuntu, if I set the playback device to dmix in the device toolbar and then restart Audacity, dmix is still selected as the playback device. Is that not happening for you?

Re: Garageband convert.

So this topic is nothing to do with converting GarageBand files :? I'm trying to understand what you are trying to describe, but I'm struggling to form a clear mental picture. Is the problem that the recording level is very high when recording with Audacity and very low when recording with GarageBan...

Re: Disappearing Labels

If the length of any of the labels exceeds ~255..260 characters, those labels are not available in the labels editing pane of Audacity. Yes, that's the same bug, and it will be noted in the manual for the next Audacity release unless it is no longer applies by then (https://alphamanual.audacityteam...

Re: cannot save or export

Does Audacity have an file length restrictions or just the size of the disc capacity? Audacity doesn't have a file length restriction, but WAV files have a limit of 4GB. Most other file types are limited by the available disk space and filing system limitations (FAT32 formatted drives have a 4 GB f...

Re: Download Audacity on Mac for Windows XP???

I read a couple of older posts on the forum saying that Audacity is not compatible with the Zoom R16 interface function. Is that the definitive As far as I'm aware, that is not definitive, but as I don't have a Zoom R16 I am not able to test. Even if it doesn't work as an interface with Audacity, i...

Re: Project rate.

Is there a key that changes the project rate?! More precisely, allows to switch its value in the lower left corner. How!? That one is a bit tricky unless you have a screen reader to help identify where you are in the interface. "Ctrl + F6" to move focus to the toolbars, then "Tab&quo...

Re: Dante Virtual Soundcard ASIO

Unfortunately we are unable to ship Audacity with ASIO support due to licensing restrictions.
