Yes that will work, but I'd not want to export a 30 track project that way.

If you record one track, then record a second track without doing anything else, the second track is shifted a little to the left to compensate for latency, thus it is very common in multi-track projects to have some tracks extend to the left of zero. When exporting (or Export Multiple), tracks are ...

CDA is not a normal audio file. It is just a pointer to part of the data on an audio CD. To "convert" CD tracks into audio files, you need to use a "CD Ripper" program. (Note that this is only legal for personal copies). See here for more information: http://manual.audacityteam.o...

Zip tools do have the advantage that the sound quality is totally unaffected. Just zipping up the AUP and its _data is generally what I do when sharing a project. With the aid of dropbox and broadband it's not too inconvenient.

Is there such a thing as having a patch of "nothing" in the middle of a line? You mean an "empty" gap in a track? Yes you can have empty space in an Audacity track, but no you can't have "empty" space in an audio file. When exporting, empty space needs to be converted ...

This is how I do it. The Mac version of the keyboard shortcuts are usually the same but with "Command" replacing "Ctrl". Ctrl+A (select all) Shift + Home (move start of the selection to "time=0") Ctrl+T (trims off any sound outside of the selection - specifically, remov...

Audacity doesn't have a "main" function in the usual sense. The main source file is "AudacityApp" which is located in the root of the "src/" directory. kDevelop does work with Audacity - it's what I use, but I hate having to set it up because I can never remember exactl...

As a workaround, you could label each of the audio clips http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/label_tracks.html Note that regions of absolute silence may be easily removed with "Edit > Clip Boundaries > Detach at Silences" (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/edit_menu_clip_boundaries.ht...

That's why it's called a noise gate. A gate may be used to reduce the level of sound that you want to keep, in which case it's not a "noise" gate, it's just a "gate". That was koz's pedantic point. First line of Wikipedia article : A noise gate or gate ... NOTE: The gate must be...

I don't know NetBeans, but kDevelop works pretty well. The easiest way to set up kDevelop for Audacity is to first build Audacity from the command line (see: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=292433#p292433) Then point kDevelop to the main "Makefile" (Project menu > Open / Imp...
