Re: Scripting with Audacity

Audacity has a built-in feature called "Chains". It's not as powerful as full scripting, but much easier to use. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/chai ... ation.html

Re: Tips on zooming into loop start/end points.

Not sure what the Mac version is, but possibly just "command" rather than "Ctrl" (perhaps koz can confirm) On Windows and Linux, Zoom in on one end of the selection with "Ctrl + Mouse wheel". To centre on left or right ends of the selection, "Ctrl + [" and &qu...

Re: Option to "Save Copy of Project As"

No problem ;) Thanks for the suggestion.
There is no guarantee that it will be implemented (that largely depends on whether one of the developers likes the idea enough to implement it), but in due course it will be logged on the Audacity wiki as a suggested feature for implementation.

Re: Importing data from file

To be valid audio sample values, the data needs to be normalized to the range +/- 1.0. Your largest absolute value is 203913, so you could divide each value by this number prior to exporting, or, because Audacity works in 32-bit float format and can handle values over 0 dB, you could import the data...

Re: Option to "Save Copy of Project As"

Re: Expanded scales for gain and pan stopped working

A fix was added earlier today.
I now see the same behaviour in 2.2.0 as in 2.1.3 (tested on the same Xubuntu Linux machine as previous tests).
