Audacity Forum

There is currently no band pass spectral edit effect which would filter the frequencies outside the spectral selection. Actually there is one somewhere on this forum - Robert wrote one, but it's a Sync filter written as a Nyquist plug-in, and it's rather slow, so not really suitable for the purpose...

It should, Export could return FALSE in this case and the proper rollback (deleting the malformed file if necessary) could terminate with the warning. If not, I would consider this a bug. Wouldn't it be better if Audacity worked out how big the WAV file would be before even attempting to export it?...

Digital kind of sucks. unless you use it correctly ;) the same reasoning why clipping/overdriving does not work with digital The problem clipping / overdriving with digital audio is that it can cause aliasing distortion in addition to the clipping / overdrive distortion. The solution is to ensure t...

To select from a specific point to the end of the recording: 1) Click on the track (on the blue waveform) at the point where you want to start the selection) 2) Shift + End key Selecting audio is such an important part of using Audacity that there are many ways to do it. See here for a full descript...

is there ever a condition where, when you push the record button it is supposed to automatically add the same number of tracks you started with? No, but Ctrl+D will duplicate the selected audio, and if no audio is selected then by default Audacity assumes that you want to select everything, so Ctrl...

I had been using Audacity 2.05 I presume that you mean "Audacity 2.0.5"? I say had because after upgrading to Windows 10 and Audacity 2.12 I presume that you mean "Audacity 2.1.2? Version numbers are important for us to know what you are talking about and to ensure that you are using...
