Re: Consider a project of only unmodified tracks to be "clea

Steve and Peter are opposed to hiding settings in audacity.cfg and Edgar (" I absolutely abhor "hidden" options! "). It would be quicker to list who thought it a good idea. But it seems to me that if we allow any "editing" to be regarded as "clean" Whether we...

Re: Audacity Menu

The closest I can get is the help tips if you mouse over an icon. Are these enabled in Audacity's preferences? Tooltips are enabled by default and nearly all controls have tooltips, so to see what a control does, just hover your mouse pointer over the control. Due to technical difficulties, there a...

Re: Audacity often cuts off beginning of recording

I have an idea what the problem might be. To test, please try the following: Firstly, upgrade to the current version of Audacity (2.1.2) from here: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ Does the problem still happen? If that does not fix it, then try this: 1) Open Audacity and save the empty...

Re: Precise Control Points?

Yes with careful zooming you should be able to achieve better than 0.01s time accuracy and better than 0.01dB amplitude accuracy.
No there is not yet a text or numeric input method.

Re: Precise Control Points?

Control points are a bit fiddly, but you can get better accuracy for amplitude by resizing the track taller (click and drag the bottom edge of the track), and better time accuracy by zooming in (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/zooming.html)

Re: Using EDIT>REPAIR

The way that I check a repair is to use the "Quick Play" feature of the Timeline. Note that a lot of sound cards won't play very short selections, and even if they did, anything less that a second or two is too short to hear clearly if the repair is good. See: http://manual.audacityteam.or...

Re: Peaky notes, EQ and compressor limitations, uncontrollab

What is the advantage recording at 96 kHz In nearly all cases, none at all. A few special cases where recording at 96 kHz may be an advantage: * Measuring the speed of a bullet or other "scientific" uses where you may need to determine the precise time of a signal pulse. * Aligning tracks...
