Re: Place to make notes about a project

When I'm working with Audacity projects, I generally create a folder before I start, and put everything relating to that project in the folder. I then launch Audacity and immediately save the new (still empty at this point) project into the folder. This has a number of benefits: 1) It makes it easy ...

Re: Recording Single Word Multiple Times

Assuming that you have Audacity set up to record from a microphone (if not, see here in the manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_your_first_recording.html) 1) Press the Record button 2) Record yourself saying the word 20 times, then stop the recording 3) Label each word with a region ...

Re: Audacity 2.1.3 & macOS High Sierra

I have had no problems running Audacity 2.2.0 ... on my Macbook Pro with High Sierra. However, there is a bug in the "Chains" feature, so if you rely on using Chains it would probably be best to wait for 2.2.1 which is due to be released in December. If you don't use Chains, then I would ...

Re: Which Headphones is best for mixing tune?

I've heard that you can accidentally buy headphones and find they're built for the wrong genre or purpose and then end up with the wrong kind of sound? Is that right? Well I listen to most genres except classical & jazz really. Indie-pop, rock & some nice bass would be good. "Good"...

Re: ion turntable 132638

PS-still cant understand why its always the 45" vinyls that blast into the RED though. The cutting speed is higher, so you get a higher output from the cartridge... Because of the larger diameter and lower rotational speed of LPs compared to 7" singles, the tangential track speed is rough...

Re: QuickTime Services???

As far as I'm aware, Audacity first tries to import with [url-http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/]libsndfile[/url]. If libsndfile says it does not recognise / support the file type, then it tries QuickTime (if available) and FFmpeg (if available) - I don't know off hand which order it tries them. I...

Re: Tracks don't fit automatically after opening

You will be pleased to know that the bug has been fixed, and we're aiming for a very short release cycle, with Audacity 2.2.1 being released early next month (assuming no unforeseen problems). The idea was to make the meters as long as possible, since with more space they would be perceived as more ...
