Re: No volume slide

There appears to be more problems than just that slider. This is Audacity 2.2.2 built from the source code on XUbuntu: screenshot.png Take a look in "Help menu > About Audacity", and in the "Build" tab, find the line: "wxWidgets (Cross-platform GUI library)" What versio...

Re: Tools suddenly not working anymore

and you've recently updated Audacity from an old version to version 2.2.2 ? I also used to be able to click the Record button to start recording on a new track, and now when I click to record it just starts recording at the end of my open track. This one I can probably help with. In older versions o...

Re: Removing binaural beats / brainwave entrainment

is this the same function as using Audio Track > Split Stereo To Mono then deleting either the L or R channels? No, it's different. "Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo To Mono" will give you a mix of the two channels, whereas "Audio Track > Split Stereo To Mono then deleting either the L or R...

Re: Audacity crashes: *** BUG *** In pixman_region32_init_re

parabola_1649_data is one of the blop plug-ins. The blop plug-ins are known to be buggy, and it looks like their development was abandoned about 14 years ago, so I think it's unlikely they will be fixed now. This bug was reported to the blop project in 2015, but no reply.

The file that you are importing has two audio streams.
Select which you want to import. If you are unsure, select them both, then if there's one you don't want, you can delete it.

Re: 'Select Stream'? [rendering a file / screenshot]

steve - are my images too big? The images are too big to fit in the forum layout, but if you put the images "in-line", then the forum will provide scrollbars to the image, so that the page can be read without scrolling, and the image can be viewed with scrolling. To place an image in-line...

Re: Recording stopps when overdub activated

On Linux, Software Playthrough should normally be off (not selected) and Overdub should normally be on (selected).

What are you trying to do, and what equipment are you using?

Re: Import WAV files into Audacity via programming

Do you know of some documentation that further explains this? I don't think there is any. It's not covered in the user manual as editing the AUP file manually is strongly discouraged in normal use of the application. The format of the AUP file is just ordinary XML . <import filename="test.wav&...

Re: Save clips without labelling

It's also possible to automatically add labels for each audio clip, but how to do that depends on the version of Audacity (which is why the pink panel at the top of this page says to always state the Audacity version number).

It appears to be due to an amount of positive gain on the high level 1 kHz sine, which pushes the waveform into clipping if the input level is too close to 0 dB.
