There has been a post to our feedback email address describing a problem when downloading Nyquist plug-ins. The problem as described appears to be that the file name is modified automatically on download by ".txt" being appended to the file name. Of course, if this happens, the plug-in wil...

Is there any way to create a shortcut to a specific Chain? Not currently, but I've logged your interest in that feature on the "Feature Requests" page of the Audacity wiki. This is definitely better than what I was doing. I'd still like to see a single keystroke that could take the place ...

Most other formats (including WAV, FLAC and OGG Vorbis) don't have this problem. and have them exit the computer through separate USB ports Probably better to...

I'm generally getting around 70 to 90 kbps with these settings: settings.png Audacity uses LAME for encoding MP3. Did you download and install LAME as described in the man...
