Audacity Forum

If you choose not to release 64-bit builds in the very near future, you will shoot yourselves in the foot. I'm not sure that I agree about who's foot would get shot ;) but all being well it will be no-one's. The developers are working towards 64-bit Mac builds, though no release date has yet been g...

I've found the relevant bit of code that produces this error message, but unfortunately it does not tell us much that we don't already know. The most likely trigger for the error message is that Audacity is unable to read the audio data that belongs with the project. There can be many reasons for th...

(setf pulse (pwlv 0 0.02 0 0.02 1 0.23 1 0.23 0))) The PWLV command creates a signal that is defined by a list of points. Each point has two coordinates, a time, and an amplitude. For PWLV the "time" coordinate for the first point is always zero, and is implied rather than explicitly writ...

It sounds like you are wanting to apply effects, with Chains, to just parts of the track, so the short answ...

What exactly are you trying to do?

Double click on the clip (on the blue wiggly waveform), then spacebar to play. Double click on a clip selects the clip, and spacebar starts playback from the start of the selection. (spacebar can also be used to stop playback, "P" to pause, or "X" to stop playback and leave the p...

Which version of Audacity are you using? (Look in: "Audacity menu > About Audacity").

Stereo vs mono?
A length limit?

Strange, I can make the problem happen with Groove Music (not surprising because Google shows that lots of people have problems with metadata in Groove Music). I don't see the problem in either "Properties" or Foobar2000. Are you able to find step by step instructions to reliably reproduce...
