Reboot your computer, then, in Finder, Go > Go to Folder and type or paste: /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/audacity/SessionData Click "Go". In the folder that opens, look for a file "audacity-lock-<your user name>" If it's there, delete it, and then try launch...

And then there's editing. I am not interested in watching someone make a mistake and forcing me to sit through correcting it. Editing, a universal truism, takes five times the length of the production, and that's an average. 'No editing' is not an option. Here's one I made earlier... As a child, Bl...

I saw one "how to make a guitar" video that blasted over the deadly boring bits at x5 speed. That's amazingly effective if you keep the point of view constant. I don't need to see you real-time plane down the neck into shape. Same thing with a "bite size" tutorial. No need to go...

I don't know that I agree. The goal is to get the most meaning and technique from a clear video. Not and: "Oh by the way, there's mistakes, see below." I did see a video version of a Man page that worked well. I think I saved the URL..... "Man page" should not be capitalised. (h...

If you've not mixed the tracks (the overdub is on its own in a separate track), the yes you can: 1) Select the overdub track (click on an empty portion of the info panel on the left end of the track, but take care not to catch the sliders or buttons) 2) File menu > Export Selected Audio (may be in a...

I missed one in my wet blanket post. Any elf can edit and correct a text post. By convention, some elves gravitate to the work, but it doesn’t have to be. Scene shifts to video corrections. See where I’m going with this I do indeed :) One of the things that I like about these videos (I've not yet s...

What do you do when Audacity posts an update? Somebody has to go through all the videos and correct/revise them. As we've been discussing with mikedownes by email, this is probably the biggest benefit of having someone that is specifically interested in making educational videos about Audacity (rat...

If you follow the link to the bug report in my previous post you will see that Steve definitely says it works in 2.1.2 but not in 2.1.3 :? The bug report has since been updated. It appears that this bug was introduced between 2.1.3 and 2.2.0, not between 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 as was previously suggested....

I don't know what alpha nightlys are. They are pre-release versions. I'd suggest that you try "Audacity 2.2.1 RC2". This is the latest version, and although there will be an RC3 before 2.2.1 is released, that is only to update some documentation files. It is expected that the 2.2.1 releas...

What I'm trying to do is to flip the waveform, clip it, then flip it back, so it only clips the underside Writing it out in longhand: ;version 4 (setf threshold 0.5) (setf inverted (mult -1 *track*)) (setf clipped (s-min threshold inverted)) (mult -1 clipped) ; Flip it back. This is the returned va...
