Oh. That's news.

Unfortunately there are a lot of characters in this "whodunit". To get anywhere we need to narrow it down a bit. The way I would approach the problem would be: 1) Back up all my data. 2) Do a fresh install of the OS 3) Use the machine for a while without installing Soundflower and without ...

i followed what you've said, i changed the preferences to 16bits and now when i open the exported file again in audacity it says 16bits but unfortunately you appear to have missed the bit where I wrote: but doing so is not recommended As DVDdoug wrote, it is unimportant what the track says the samp...

First, I need to point out that I have the same problem for other applications too. OK, thanks. That's important. I have two audio devices connected What are they? and also Soundflower installed, which I use to record output from other audio applications. I've found Soundflower to be a bit unstable...

If you could upload the file to a public file sharing site (such as "sendpace.com" or "dropbox"), then I will take a look to see what I can see.

It includes the optimisation by Nicholas K (thanks Nicholas), and the 2/3 overlap (for smoother gain changes) from the previous version. The main new feature in this version is that it includes a help button tha...

I don't think there's much we can do to help. If you recorded as WAV, then "Import RAW" will import as much as Audacity is able to read. A stereo WAV file at CD quality (16-bit 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, so the file size can give you an idea about how much audio exists in the f...

FFT is available in Nyquist, but not often used, probably because it is one of the more advanced / difficult features, and it is not very fast. There's a tutorial in the standalone Nyquist documentation, which I have attached (extract the contents of the ZIP file and open the HTML file in your web b...

So, if I understand right, my wish is not doable technically. Nothing is impossible, but it would require a substantial change to how compressed saving works. Rendering tracks is currently an all or nothing affair for tracks - either mix and render the entire track, or nothing - Audacity can't rend...
