Audacity Forum

This is puzzling. I've seen this problem once before, but that was with Audacity running from a folder having Cyrillic characters in its name. For some reason, some required Nyquist files are not being found, but I don't yet see any reason for that. In the Effects menu, do you have the "Nyquist...

Right click on the "Timeline" (the ruler at the top of the tracks panel). In the dropdown menu, select "Update display while playing". (The alternative method of enable / disable scrolling is to use "Edit menu > Preferences > Tracks -> Update display when Recording/Playback ...

I'm getting a bit confused by the descriptions, so, sticking with the subject of the desktop computer: 1) Audacity will run and will play tracks that are imported or generated. True or false? 2) Audacity will record from a microphone. True or false? 3) You are using Audacity 2.2.1. True or false? 4)...

Assuming that you are starting with a fresh empty Audacity project and 20 audio files all in the same directory: 1) "File menu > Import > Audio" and select all of the files that you want to import. The files will be imported as separate tracks. 2) Put the tracks in order by dragging them u...

Audacity has "Timer Record", but it is only a "one event" timer: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/timer_record.html

Audacity 2.1.1 That's a pretty old version. Audacity 2.2.2 is due to be released at the end of the month. 2.2.1 is available here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ You need to set Audacity's "Recording input" to the thing that you want to record (your microphone) in the devi...

And secondly does Audacity support scrub and scroll to help find the precise edit point? Audacity has "Quick Play" (including looping quick play), "Scrubbing" and "Seeking". Of the three I personally find Quick Play the most useful ( YMMV ) Quick Play: http://manual.au...

Am I right in thinking it is not possible to 'preview' an edit before saving it? A "Cut / Delete" edit can be previewed: 1) Select the part to cut / delete 2) Press "C" key. "Paste" edits can't be previewed but there's always " Ctrl + Z " Effects can all be p...

My impression is that Audacity works differently. It creates a working copy of the audio and edits change that copy. Yes that's correct. Audacity is designed to act immediately on the audio in the track, so what you see in the track at any time is the actual edited audio data. If you subsequently c...

(prin1 (* i 5)) (terpri) That will print the result of (*i 5) and then print a new line. (prin1 (+ 1 (* i 5))) ))) That will print the result of (+ 1 (* i 5)) and returns the result. There is no new line. so when i = 0, the loop will print: 0 1 when i = 1, the values 5 (new line) and 6 are printed ...
