Re: Pluginregistry.cfg missing in new Linux Mint build from

If there's anything in .audacity-data that you need to keep, make a backup copy, then delete the entire .audacity-data folder. So long as you are logged in as the user "ericmint" and the permissions are not screwed up for "/home/ericmint", then Audacity should recreate a new .aud...

Re: Audacity | Split | duplicate split-positions

I want to be able to do the same `split` formatting to multiple tracks that are the same. Create "labels" at the places where you want splits to occur, then select the label track plus all of the tracks that you want to split, and apply "Edit > Labelled audio > Split". See: http...

Re: Pluginregistry.cfg missing in new Linux Mint build from

Check that the directory /home/ericmint/.audacity-data/ exists and has read & write permission for the user account. Are you logged in as ericmint ? On first ever run, pluginregistry.cfg is created by Audacity. On subsequent launches, if the file exists, Audacity will attempt to use it. If the f...

Re: attempting insertion while editing a recording

Re: How to disable automatic scaling

I think I must have just got used to it. If I'm making a selection, say between 0 and 10 seconds, I click and drag from right to left (not really thought about it, but that's what I find myself doing.

Re: Could not find any audio devices

Did your computer come with Windows 10, or did Windows update to Windows 10? If the latter, then your sound card drivers will probably need to be updated. Note that Windows will only install generic drivers, not the ones that are specifically designed for your hardware, so while they will usually pr...

Re: advice for bewildered novice!

The M-Audio Keystation 88 is a "MIDI Controller Keyboard". That means that it does not produce sounds from itself, but controls sounds from other things by sending "MIDI commands". Typically you would use a keyboard like this with a "MIDI Sequencer" program, or connecte...
