You should use https when available. It is probably not likely to be a problem if you use http, but http has no guarantees of secure end-to-end data transfer. More information: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/security/encrypt-in-transit/why-https Modern anti-virus programs use "h...

File Error "Audacity failed to read from a file in :. Is that literally the full error message? Is the Audacity project a recording, or is it an imported file? Has the project been saved? If so, what is the full file name and path (the name including the directory). Doe the Audacity project pl...

You need to restart the system after installing XCode 8

What would happen if you weren't paying attention and started one version while the other was already running? That depends on how you do it. If you use "File menu > New", then as waxcylinder wrote, you get a new instance of the same version. Attempting to start a new session (for example...

There was no 2.2.1 Install — just an `unzip´ of the portable version to C:\Audacity 221. When using a ZIP version, you can create a "Portable Settings" folder in the same location as the audacity.exe. That version will then save its settings into the Portable Settings folder, without affe...
