Is there a means to effectively create two instances of the Audacity application, i.e. AudacityBig.app and AudacitySmall.app, saving them at the root of the Application folder, each with their own specific configuration? Each computer user account has its own configuration. If you set up a new user...

I just recorded my first video with commentary on it but whenI went to edit the audio, I cannot get rid of the sound of me button mashing or pressing my controllers' buttons as well. I guess you're making a game video "walk-through" or similar. Ideally, don't do the two things at the same...

Press the "Stop" button, and ensure that some audio is selected.

Is that a question?
"Shift+S" works for me on Audacity 2.1.3 alpha on Linux.

Good observation. The pattern becomes more cycloid as the "Sweep range" is increased. With a smaller sweep range, the pattern becomes more sinusoidal.

Hmm. That makes it more clear that there is a problem (seems like Audacity ought to be able to fall back to some other font, such as Helvetica Neue, if it can't find Helvetica) but less clear whether the problem is with Audacity or with wxWidgets. or a problem specific to your system? I'm not sayin...

The keyboard shortcuts can sometimes be quicker than using the mouse: Ctrl+U Mute all tracks. Shift+Ctrl+U Unmute all tracks. Shift+S Toggle "solo" on/off for the current track. Use in conjunction with the up/down cursor keys and the "Muli-track" solo button option (see the botto...

Audacity is currently built with WxWidgets 3.0.2 From: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0.2/interface_2wx_2font_8h.html#a54997f2e4b4f4a03f92db6d41da30bb5 wxFont* wxSWISS_FONT A font identic to wxNORMAL_FONT except for the family used which is wxFONTFAMILY_SWISS. It gets a bit tricky determining exactly w...

If you type characters, then you should get "legal" character codes. If text is pasted, you can easily get illegal character codes. We saw a case recently where a user had a problem because he had pasted what appeared to be a normal name into a text box, but there were two invisible charac...

Old versions of OS X used Lucida Grande as the default system font. More recent versions use Helvetica Neue or San Francisco. In the Audacity code, the font is described as "wxFONTFAMILY_SWISS", which the WxWidgets documentation says resolves to "wxNORMAL_FONT" , which is the def...
