Audacity Forum

"Orphan files" are data files that Audacity finds in the temp directory that are not associated with any Audacity project. There's not really much / anything that you can do with them. Audacity does not know where they came from. They may just be old "undo" data that failed to ge...

When adding mono audio to a stereo track, the expected behaviour is that the same, unaltered audio will be added to both left and right channels. When exporting a stereo track as mono, the expected behaviour is that the left and right channels will be mixed (added together) then scaled by a factor o...

It might be worth taking a look at the metadata section of the code and seeing it it couldn't be made more comprehensive in transferring all useful fields to newly created files. This is tricky because there are many conflicting standards for metadata. Just for MP3 there is id3v1, id3v1.1, and many...

It's an overflow problem in 32-bit builds. It will be fixed in the next Audacity release.

Just a quick update: The full fix that I've been testing tests out OK, so it is now in the code ready for the next release.

I am having the same problem.

I was just thinking that it could come in handy to be able to go to the last stored cursor position after re-starting Audacity and re-opening a project. Even for something as simple as being sure where you left off when you closed the project. You could always add a label at the appropriate positio...

If the user thinks Audacity should be able to open and then save a wave file, and a developer (me) can make it do that, then at least my build will do that. I will PR that change and if it's rejected I'll fork audacity.

You are very welcome to do so. That's the beauty of open source.

This is a bug that was discovered shortly after Audacity 3.0.0 was released. There's an explanation and a workaround in this topic: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=116654#p420056 I'm currently testing a full fix for the next (Audacity 3.0.1) release which is scheduled to be a...
