Audacity Forum

This is the default toolbar layout on my laptop full-screen:

and this is the layout at the default window size:

Good luck finding a layout that is optimal for every screen size

Try reducing the color mode to 16-bit (Right click on audacity.exe and open "Properties". The color mode is set in the "compatibility" settings).

Can Audacity record over the wifi hookup with the xr18? It will probably be easier to use the computer's built-in sound card, and since you're recording an internet stream it's unlikely that the xr18 will improve the sound quality. See here for how to record sounds that are playing on the computer:...

The error messg a got when starting audacity was something like in pa_alsa_linux.c function "set_period_size_near(...". (cs46xx supports period_size 512 only at max). Could you try and get the exact error message. I'm not finding anything helpful on Google. Are you able to build a C++ app...

These are my findings, all with Audacity from Debian Buster repository v2.2.2: - portaudio stock version from Debian Buster => not works, Audacity not see devices of cs46xx (orig ticket issue) - portaudio2_19+svn2014XXX (in Debian Jessie?) => Nope, same as above - portaudio2_19+svn2011XXX (in Debia...

I recently installed Windows 10 on my computer, so maybe I'm missing some drivers that I need?

That's possible.
What is your computer and if you're not using the on-board sound-card what sound card / audio device are you using?

macOS Big Sur 11.2.2, no stereo option Open "Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.app" Check that the device that you want to record from (select the "Input" button) is set to record 2 channels. If you can't select 2 channels there, then the problem is with your Mac rathe...

After recording the tape, Export a backup copy as a WAV file (so that if you mess up you won't have to re-record). If there's noticeable tape hiss, use "Noise Reduction" to reduce it (note that too much noise reduction will damage the remaining sound) See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/m...

For the send-entire-edit to Audicity mode I would like to return a mixdown of the full time-range from 0 to the end of the last clip. How would you suggest I do this?

Add a new audio track, select the first 1 second (relative to Project Start) and generate silence.
Then select all and render.

If you select the envelope tool and add an envelope at 1 and another some other place you'll see the flattening(muting), instead of interpolation between the two points. It's interpolating on a logarithmic scale. As "log 0" is undefined, the lower limit is limited to something like -140 d...
