Re: Audacity shutdown with export dialog.

Hi All, I found this issue was fixed (or disappeared) after I upgrade OS to 10.13.4, recently. I did not do anything with Audacity (just installed and tested new versions but always failed.).

Re: stand alone recording

I have a Zoom H2 (original version) which can use AA batteries or a mains power adaptor. There is no noticeable hum with either. Main benefits - good recording quality for quick "rehearsal" or "jotting things down" recordings. Small and portable. Can also record line level for re...

Did you try playing the recording before exporting it?

Re: Monstruous distortion of my voice

What settings are you using in the device toolbar ? Does the waveform have clear space above and below like the image below, or is it right up to the top/bottom of the track? http://manual.audacityteam.org/m/images/f/f9/mono_track_example.png A short audio sample would be useful. See here for how to...

Re: adjusting timeline

The amount of time shown on the Timeline depends on the "zoom" level.
Zoom in to show a smaller time range
Zoom out to show a larger time range.
