Re: Lock the toolbars

Unfortunately, at least once or twice a day I end up clicking on the grabber and shifting a toolbar to a different spot by mistake. More often than not, I'm trying to click the Selection Tool but end up moving the whole Audacity Tools Toolbar to a different line, thus shifting every other toolbar. ...

Just can't wait to test that
If you feel comfortable doing so, there's a "release candidate" for Audacity 3.0.0 available for testing. See: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=116221

Re: I have suddenly got lots of echo on recordings

Beware of "voip" apps (such as Skype / Zoom). They can change the Windows sound settings without your knowledge.

Bluetooth speakers

There have been numerous posts about problems with bluetooth speakers / headphones. Being the fortunate recipient of a "JBL Charge 4" bluetooth speaker last Christmas, I decided to test it with Audacity. On both macOS (late 2014 Mac Mini / Big Sur) and Linux (Xubuntu 18.04 / i7 laptop) the...

Re: Combining AUP Files

Do you mean backups of them uncombined? Yes. While we go to great lengths to make Audacity as robust as possible, Audacity is very complex software and computers are far from 100% reliable, so I would always advise making a WAV file backup of every important recording straight away after pressing t...

Re: New/old problem - Audacity crashes on startup

I am thinking there may be some config file that has gotten borked in ~/.audacity-data. That's quite possible. The three most likely files in that folder are: audacity.cfg (Audacity's main configuration file) pluginregistry.cfg pluginsettings.cfg Audacity 2.4.2 now has a "Reset Configuration&q...

So do I just have to take one and export it as a wav file and then import that into my other AUP as a separate track?
Yes, absolutely right :)

(It's also a good idea to keep a WAV format backup of both projects)
