Re: Audacity shutdown with export dialog.

Did you previously have another version installed? If so, do you know (or can you guess) which version?
Did you trash the old version before installing the new version?

Re: Decimal places for frequency in spectrums?

I really just want "cursor" and "peak" to at least one or two decimal places. The approximation is not that accurate. It would be like if I asked you to measure with a ruler the length of a piece of string to thousandths of a mm, when in fact you could not actually measure more ...

Re: Audacity shutdown with export dialog.

How did you install Audacity? From the DMG or from the ZIP download?

Re: Unstable pitch when recording acoustic guitar

It turns out that the old Vista laptop with a previous version of Audacity are showing exactly the same problem ... Interestingly I have also used MS Voice Recorder and have found exactly the same problem - the pitch keeps being affected in the same way. That's a relief for us, as it shows that the...

Re: Decimal places for frequency in spectrums?

Do you mean in "Plot Spectrum"? http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/plot_spectrum.html If so, the frequency analysis measures how much audio there is in a sequence of "frequency bands". For example, with default settings, the frequency bands are: 0.000000 to 86.132812 86.132812 to...

Re: Audacity shutdown with export dialog.

Reboot system --> Start Audacity --> Generate 30s silence within Audacity --> Try to export to WAV Are you sure that you were exporting as WAV? The reason that I ask is that the audacity.cfg file looks very "clean", like a "first use, done nothing yet" config file, but there is ...

Do you hear that kind of hiss with any of these files?

Re: Rare behaviour with chains

2) Save the chain (any name). The in is saved when the Chain editor window is closed. Are you trying to create multiple Chains without closing the editor? 4) Save all the chains you want to create. How exactly are you doing that? There isn't a "Save" button (but perhaps it would be less c...

Re: Detach at Silences

I suspect that it's not very widely used, but it does work. I suspect that the problem is that your "silences" are not "absolute silence". It does not detach at "extremely quiet", only at "silences". To test the effect, try generating 30 seconds of "DTMF ...
