Re: Inconsistent latency --> automatic track shift woes

My track shift setting in preferences is set to -377 (which seems quite a lot to me). Sometimes this figure works, but not always. What is the "Preferences > Devices > Latency : Buffer Length"? Try changing that value in steps of say 20 ms, both down to 0, and up to 200 ms. Don't worry ab...

Re: Audacity crashes during .Mp3 import.

Nope, won't open or import any .mp3. I just attempted your suggestion. No dice. Please try this: 1) Launch Audacity 2) Generate a 30 second "Chirp" (from the Generate menu) 3) "File menu > Save Other > Export as WAV" and export with a unique file name to a location that you can ...

Re: Audacity crashes during .Mp3 import.

I downloaded the most current version of Audacity Did you download it via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ This is important because there are some sites offering versions of Audacity that have been modified in suspicious or dangerous ways. Did you use the .EXE i...

Re: Selection Toolbar in Audacity 2.2.0

For new questions, please start new topics. It quickly becomes confusing if the forum thread jumps around from one subject to another. Previously to the latest update (2.2.0) there was an option to Export selected which was great for what I would do In Audacity 2.2.0 it is: "File > Save Other >...

Re: Problem with Software Playthrough and Pulse

I also discovered a freedesktop.org document called PulseAudio - The Perfect Setup, which has some instructions for PulseAudio setup. That information is mostly correct but also rather dated. Most of it was copied from the old website in 2013 and has only had a handful of minor updates since. Audac...

Re: Overdub Issue

Please post a short audio sample to illustrate the problem, in WAV format. The sample only needs to be 4 or 5 seconds duration. See here how to post an audio sample: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887 I think I can guess what the problem is, but an audio sample would show ...

Re: Scarlett 2i2 Overdub feature not working [SOLVED]

Thanks for letting us know. This appears to be a weakness / limitation / bug of the Scarlett 2i2 drivers, but with quite a simple workaround.
I'll mark this topic as 'solved' and hopefully it will help others that have this problem.

Re: Overdub feature not working

Look in the Windows Sound Control Panel and find the sample rate for the Scarlett 2i2. Set it to match the "Project Rate" in Audacity. The Project Rate is shown in the bottom left corner of the main Audacity window.

Does that make any difference?

It's a bug.
Please try the new "Audacity 2.2.1 RC1". This version should fix the problem. You can get it here: https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-devel.html/
