Re: Select Track Start to Cursor affected by label tracks

From the user's perspective, I don't understand why label tracks, even if selected, should be included in the determination of "track start" Do you agree that "track end" makes sense for label tracks? Would it make more sense if "track start" for label tracks was the s...

Re: What's the reason for BACKGROUND NOISE in my audio?

There are many "drop outs" (short gaps where the audio is missing). This can be caused by many things, but one of the most common is that the computer is being asked to do too much and can't keep up, so it skips bits of the audio. Try rebooting your computer and shut down any non-essential...

Re: Hum when I try to record from vinyl

Does your turntable or pre-amp have a "ground" / "earth" cable? If so, perhaps it has become detached. If not, check all of the leads and connections. Also check that there is no electrical equipment near to the equipment that wasn't there before. If you have any lights with dimm...

Is that a totally unprocessed recording straight off your microphone? It appears to have some sort on noise gate like effect on it.

Re: Extracting Noise Reduction Effect Functionality

Has anyone worked out how to modify Audacity like this (making it run as a command like routine, at least as far as the Noise Reduction effect is concerned)? There is a module called "mod-script-pipe" that provides an API for controlling Audacity from any scripting language (such as Pytho...

Re: Select Track Start to Cursor affected by label tracks

Thanks for the steps DickN. The behaviour that you describe is by design (intended). As Bill wrote: "A label track always starts at time 0, regardless of any labels in the track", whereas a non-empty audio track starts at the beginning of the first audio clip in that (any) selected audio t...

Re: Audacity mono recording problem

When I use the notebook (Windows 10) to record a guitar sound, and if I make stereo recording, the left channel is blank and the right channel contains the guitar sound (because it's mono sign), and if I make mono recording, the guitar sign is on the one recording channel, works well. Are you sure?...
