4 Import a file with the same name, mysong.wav. 5 Make some change, or not. 6 File > Save Project, or File > Save Project As..., mysong.aup is offered again in the same folder, choose that name. 7 Save. Yes that will overwrite the project in 2.1.3-alpha (our current code). I would call it a bug Yes...

But it's true that speaking up loses a little bit of intimacy, and a sound engineer told me that one shouldn't have to do with a microphone, My advice is "talk to your audience, don't talk to the microphone". The temptation is to talk to the microphone, which being just a few inches away,...

Do you see Nyquist effects releasing memory after use on your Linux system? With this code: (print (peak *track* ny:all)) yes memory is released after clicking "OK" for the returned value. (The first time that the code is run, memory use after release has been increased by about 10MB, whi...

A studio I once had access to had minimal actual soundproofing (think I remember industrial carpeting) but was intentionally designed with no parallel walls. Even the ceiling was tilted. It worked remarkably well and I sent several good recordings through there. Depending on what you are recording,...

Audacity can't overwrite projects If you open a project, do something to it, then "File > Save", the original version of the project is "over-written" (updated), which is what I took to be what vainjangles did. If this was the case, then while the project is still open, it is po...

The file appears to be corrupted beyond about 37:30. There's a slim chance that it could be just momentary corruption which is then preventing Audacity 2.1.1 from reading the rest of the file correctly. You could try updating to the current 2.1.2 version of Audacity and see if that can open the file...

The "undo history" is not saved in a saved project, it's just the current state of the project that is saved. While a project remains open you can undo each action (in order, starting with the most recent), all the way back to the start of the current session. When a file is overwritten, t...

It will be much faster if you use point labels rather than region labels.

The way that I would suggest doing it (with existing tools) is to use "Regular Interval labels" (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/regular_interval_labels.html) to create "point" labels. Zoom in to a suitable level so that you can see individual words. Then start at the first la...

This means that I could eg. drag the selection from the end of a short clip and press spacebar multiple times looking for the correct start of the clip. As far as I'm aware, that was not an intentional "feature", but rather a quirk in the version of WxWidgets that we were using. As that v...
