Re: History of effects after saving project

While an Audacity project is open, you can see a summary list of everything that has been done since opening the project, by looking in "View menu > History". The History is not saved with the project (or with exported audio files), so once the project has been closed the list is no longer...

Re: How to reduce background autommusic when recording my vo

Re: enhance low level recording

Please note that we do not offer an audio forensics service for uncovering hidden audio or recovering seriously damaged recording, so if you need that, you may be better to ask your friend or consult a specialist in that field.

Re: Comments on 2.2.0 alpha June 15 2017

OK, I see what you mean now. I'm not aware of a more direct way of doing that, but I don't recall ever being in that situation.

Is there a quick way to move a selection boundary to the mouse cursor while stopped when the resulting selection will be less than half the length of the original? Of the original selection?

Re: monitor output while recording from vinyl

what is the difference between MME and 'Windows Direct' Very little difference on modern versions of Windows other than a different application programming interface. MME has been around forever and is just about universally supported on Windows, so if in doubt, try MME (it's the factory default fo...
