Re: Joining clips screws up envelope information

Thanks for the report. This is a bug (it's one that we've had previously, was fixed, and is now broken again :() A possible workaround is to delay joining the clips as long as possible, then "render" the track (with just that one track selected, "Tracks menu > Mix > Mix and Render&quo...

Re: Importing Tracks From Other Projects

The safest way is to export the track as a WAV file, and then import the WAV file into the other project.

Re: Wow!

An off-line manual is included in the ".EXE" version of Audacity (available here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/) The off-line manual is html based, and still uses the default web browser for display, but does not require Internet access (except for occasional external links). A PD...

Re: Time of day on timeline

The Timeline can only show time relative to "start of project = 0".
However, perhaps these plug-ins may be useful for you (read the first two posts in full): viewtopic.php?p=337348#p337348

Re: Microphone not recognized

Look in the Windows Sound Control Panel and ensure that it is enabled and working. In the recording tab, you should see a green meter jump up and down in response to talking into the mic. If that's not working, * Shut down the computer completely (not just "sleeping") * Ensure that the mic...

Re: follow up How to generate arbitrary waveforms

I'll split up your code into sections, and demonstrate what each bit does: (setf adsr (pwlv 0 0.05 1 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.4 1 0)) This creates an "envelope", which is a low sample rate control signal. A "control signal" is just a "sound", but at a low sample rate, and changing...

Re: audacity freezes during export to mp3 or wav

We've seen a handful of reports like this, but we've not been able to reproduce the problem. How big was the project that you were saving? Was it a recording, or imported file(s)? Where were you exporting it to? (drive and path) What was the file name? import track as a wav. export as wav. same thin...

Re: Audacity shutdown with export dialog.

The current version of Audacity is 2.2.1, which you can get via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ We are not able to reproduce this problem, so perhaps there is some crucial detail that we are missing. I'll ask you about the details and perhaps that may help us find what's...

Re: RMS Normalize

Yes, it's all about ratios. "dB" is not a unit, it's a ratio.
(in signal processing, it is usually with respect to "full scale", so full-scale = 0 dB).
