I think the pointer in that null area should show the standard arrow and that clicking there should do nothing - like clicking in the empty space to right of Help Menu or to left of horizontal scrollbar should do nothing. But I am not sure from your description if we can do that. I think that shoul...

It looks like you've amplified just the tiny selection containing the peak. If you want to amplify the entire track, select the track first and then apply the Amplify effect. A quick way to select the entire track is to click on an empty part of the control panel on the left end of the track.

One thing I don't think you can do in the Timeline is play from or start a new selection that starts exactly at the ending edge of the previous selection. With dragging the selection enabled, click on the start of the old selection and drag to the right, past the old "end of selection" (w...

Yes, but I don't see any problem.

I meant those foam acoustic treatment things that go in the corners of the room to reduce low frequencies It's called a "bass trap". Effective ones tend to be expensive. I've not found foam corner pieces to work very well as bass traps. Foam tends to be better at reducing high frequency &...

For command line audio work, I'd highly recommend SoX http://sox.sourceforge.net/

Another option for the job you describe is FFmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org/about.html

That statement is now quite ambiguous because MIDAS have been bought by Behringer.

Note that I described two ways to avoid aliasing. "Oversampling" (using a much higher sample rate and then converting back down to a 'normal' sample rate) is one way. This works because the very high sample rate is able to handle much higher frequencies so no aliasing there, then downsampl...

Steve, is this somethging you can handle? it's quite tricky because all of the proportions and spaces in the track window (including the Timeline) are interrelated. If the target area for the vertical ruler is reduced widthways, then there's a gap between the right hand edge of that target area and...

In the Scrubbing in the upcoming Audacity 2.1.3 te scrubbing does indeed pause when the scrub-play head catches up with the scrub widget. I don't think you're using the term "pause" in the same sense as classichenry means. Yes it does "pause" provided that you don't move the mou...
