There's never been a great deal on the devs main site. The best reference is the source code (though rather technical).

Re: Reduce vocals in a song

I want to reduce the vocals in the song but not removing it. It is often not possible to completely remove vocals from a song, though attempting to do so will often successfully reduce the main vocal, so I'd suggest you try the techniques and effects described here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/m...

Re: 24-bit Gain

Perhaps you have an error in the endianness.

Try feeding a known signal, such as a sawtooth wave, through your system and look at what comes out - that may give an indication of what is going wrong.

Re: Ver 2.0.5 crashes regularly; playback distorted

That's going to be a pretty old version of Audacity. The current version is 2.1.3. What's yours? (Look in "Help > About Audacity"). To reset Audacity you need to delete the settings files which are in your home directory. Open your file manager and enable "show hidden files" (pro...

Re: Public Address 'Tannoy' effect

Re: How to extend boundary/region?

Not so much though as the *only* tool in a DAW. Audacity has never claimed to be a "DAW". Audacity is a multi-track audio editor and recorder. It's not uncommon for people to confuse it with a real-time DAW because its capabilities go far past those of most audio editors (in particular du...

Re: Explain science to change tempo but not pitch of a sound

Audacity uses two methods for "time stretching". The simpler version is based on the SOLA algorithm, implemented by the SoundTouch library. For information, see these links: https://www.surina.net/soundtouch/soundstretch.html https://www.surina.net/article/time-and-pitch-scaling.html The o...
