surely it would default to the prefs setting for dither - but in the Export dialog the user could the temporarily over-ride it for that export, and only that export. I'd support that, but this is where we run into problems about different use cases wanting different things. As soon as we add a &quo...

As a relative newbie I am uncomfortable compiling the new version from source. Does anyone know where I can get a *.deb install file? There will probably be a PPA build soon in "Panda Jim"s repository. However, for a "relative newbie" I would highly recommend that you stick with...

Please lift or demolish the 4GB wav file export ceiling It is not an Audacity imposed limit. It is a limitation of the WAV (and AIFF) format.

If you decide to try it, you are welcome to post back and report if / how well it works for you. System requirements (officially supported) for macOS are lis...

we shouldn't ever forget backwards compatibility Sure. Audacity has retained pretty good backward compatibility for nearly a decade, but there comes a point when the cost of maintaining backward compatibility outweighs the benefits. Old versions of Audacity are still available (free) for anyone tha...

Thanks for the report.
I have notified maxsecureantivirus of this false positive.

...ok, I think I get the mixer as a 'stereo interface'..... Right. I found the user manual for your mixer online and it doesn't say but multi-track capability is unusual from these "little mixers". If the USB interface supports multi-channel recording, the manufacturer will invariably sta...
