Re: Downsampling and downmixing

Exported files have the same sample rate as the "Project Rate", which you can find in the lower left corner of the main Audacity window. Just set the Project rate to the required value before you export.

Re: Recording skype calls with Audacity

It's difficult because of the way that Skype aggressively manages the sound system. Skype tries to grab exclusive control of the computer sound system so as to provide reliable voice over ip (voip), but in doing so it can interfere with Audacity. The easiest solution is to use a third party applicat...

Re: How to return to the beginning of working with the file&

You can press it as many times as you need, as far as I know. It, as far as I can tell, caches the entire history and lets you go all the way back to the original state of the file. That's correct, but if there are a lot of steps in the Undo History, it is quicker to open the History window and scr...

Re: Waveform area does not resize, zoom, or scroll properly

I'll try building it from source and see if that helps. We don't have instructions specifically for Manjaro, but the build instructions for Linux are here: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/INSTALL Do read that document carefully as it includes important information relevant to all v...

Re: Focusrite Saphire 14. Can't select correct input

On Linux, channel mapping can be achieved using Jack Audio System and one of the Jack patching utilities (such as Patchage ). Jack Audio System is also available for macOS, though for Sierra or later it appears that the beta version of Jack2 is required (some information here: https://github.com/jac...

Re: Focusrite Saphire 14. Can't select correct input

Audacity uses PortAudio to access the computer sound system. PortAudio doesn't provide a platform-independent way to select arbitrary channels. You can only specify a certain number of channels N, which means that the channels 1 to N are used. As far as I'm aware, PortAudio only supports selecting a...

Re: Sample Rate Change Within Chain/Export

No, Audacity does not do that. You can export as WAV from a Chain, but not change the sample rate. There's a post on the "Superuser" website about batch converting using SoX: https://superuser.com/questions/757532/how-do-i-convert-a-batch-of-audio-files-on-windows SoX is a very versatile, ...

Re: How to run compiled Audacity on 2nd system

Still looking for the missing link, to wit: compile.txt contains the following: "Note that Audacity uses VC++'s multithreaded DLL runtime libraries. If you have MSVC installed, these are in your PATH, but users to whom you distribute your builds may not have them, so you may have to distribute...

Re: How to run compiled Audacity on 2nd system

If you want to overdub and don't have a Zero Latency interface or device, then ASIO services are the only way to do perfect overdubbing Not necessarily. WASAPI is also capable of below 10 ms latency. The thing about ASIO is that for pro / semi-pro hardware and software, ASIO has been supported for ...
