Re: Recordings are slowed down

The sample format in Audacity should always be "32-bit float" regardless of the recording device.

Are you using the M-Track for recording AND playback? (headphones plugged into the M-Track).

Try setting both the M-Track and Audacity to 44100.

Seems a further windows update (today) has mysteriously fixed it
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that it's up and running again.
I doubt that it's worth pursuing as it sounds like it was a Microsoft bug that is now fixed.

Re: Crack noise before/after silence, audio below 0.0 line

I noticed that the audio on that channel is below the 0.0 middle line - not sure why. That's called "DC offset". It's a (common) hardware fault. Ideally it should be fixed by using better hardware, but if that's not an option then it can be corrected after recording but before editing. Se...

Re: Filter Curve plugin EQ curves import export format

Are you aware of the disadvantages of using a very large "Size"? No, оnly advantages. In the image below, the first track shows an impulse (no effects), the other two tracks have had EQ applied. The EQ settings are the same for the second two tracks except that the second track has a smal...

I cannot imagine a user who does not understand that 8191 is better than 10, especially since the expected curve is plotted on the graph. You have a bad opinion of users' intelligence.

Re: Why does Audacity store audio in small chunks?

So, it makes the implementation of writing the data and the undo-redo engine simpler or more effective than it would be to edit and split large files afterwards. There's also an important optimisation for the graphic waveform display. Each block contains peak and RMS "summary data". When ...
