To test if FFmpeg is working in Audacity, try "Exporting" some audio from Audacity as "M4A" (or "AAC"). "File menu > Export > Export Audio" then select "M4A" as the file type. If you are able to export as M4A and AAC, then FFmpeg is working and the p...

Can you tell us what is causing the alert? What can I tell you? 57 anti-virus checkers, including all of the big names say that it's safe. They are right. One that I've never heard of disagrees.

"Failure parsing project information"

Is that the exact message?

the other issue is what do I do about the Compress Dynamics 1.2.6 plug in and 3.0.0 if indeed it doesn't work There's a problem running Nyquist effects (including "Compress Dynamics 1.2.6") on selections over about 45 minutes in Audacity 3.0.0. The workaround for now is to process long tr...

Is it possible to obtain this data programmatically, inside the Nyquist plugin? Yes, but not easily. Nyquist does not have access to the internals of other effects, so you would need to calculate the FFT within Nyquist, which is a very "advanced" topic. There's an "FFT Tutorial"...

The only thing that we know can be slower is closing projects and exiting Audacity - as the new project database structure does its clean-up compaction then to get rid of unused temporary workspace I've recently been testing with very large projects (5+ hours) and found there can be very slow clean...

Is there any workaround or solution for this? There's a workaround offered by Microsoft here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/you-might-have-issues-on-windows-10-version-20h2-and-windows-10-version-2004-when-using-some-microsoft-imes-63696506-47d2-9997-0b72-41a68e328692 (scroll down to &q...

Link isn't working for me. I'm just seeing code

Save that page.

1. Press "Alt" to make the Firefox menus appear.
2. "File menu > Save Page As..."
The default file name is the correct name.
