Re: Output a MultiTrack recording for production at 96K WAV file format

They have asked for the tracks to be in a 96K WAV file format. It would be worth asking them if they would prefer 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit or 32-bit float. My "guess" would be 24-bit as that's the default in many studios. 32-bit float would be better as that's what Audacity uses internally....

Re: Unhelpful 'validation error'; website problems

Finally: I found some page - I am afraid I forget which - which contained a link for 'reporting bugs by email'. The link, which was to this: ..., does not work properly. There's no longer anyone monitoring that email address, so it has been closed. The guy that used to monitor it died a few years b...

That is: one has input two numbers and an error message tells you one - or both? - of them is wrong and . . does not tell which one.
Strange. For me it highlights the (first) one that is wrong:

So it doesn't require Audacity to be running, and you can prestage several albums for ripping if you like.
Yes, certainly some advantages of doing it that way.

Re: Python Script for Ripping Vinyl with Audacity

Looks like a useful script. Thanks for sharing. This is my best guess for a location to post about the availability of this script. I As good a place as any :) Import the labels file into Audacity, and fine tune the label positioning as needed. You could probably automate that step if you wanted. Ra...

Re: How to start making musique concrète?

Personal opinion: As with creating any kind of music or art, the blank page is daunting. Give yourself some kind of focus - an idea, or theme, or concept, or feeling, or mood, or environment - anything will do so long as you have some kind of focus rather than just a blank canvas. Next comes the mat...

If they are in sync everything will stay in sync.
If any of the tracks begin after time=0, then there's a setting in preferences that can mess that up.

"Preferences > Import / Export > Ignore blank space at the beginning" must be "NOT selected" (default).

As far as "effect" goes, only Effect>Adjustable Fade>Cosine Out, and that applies only to the end of the track.
How do you make the selection? (in excruciatingly precise detail please)

Re: Volume Not Adjusted Properly with Envelope

unable to move selected tracks If you mean left / right with the Time Shift Tool , then yes, that's the same issue (and that's where I first encountered the problem). We have fixed some cases that can create zero length, or very short (single sample) clips, but it seems there are some other cases t...

Re: Audacity 3 much slower when saving file

I'm on a different platform, but out of interest, I've just run a quick test to compare WAV export with Audacity 3.0.0 and Audacity 2.3.3 (the only other version that I currently have installed). Exporting a 300 MB 16-bit, 44100 Hz WAV file took a shade over 8 seconds with both versions of Audacity....
