Re: Problem when recording from LP record

If "Transport menu > Rescan audio devices" does not fix the problem, try disconnecting the USB device, then reconnect it, wait a few moments for Windows to "re-install" it, and then either; Restart Audacity, or, "Transport menu > Rescan audio devices". Sometimes USB aud...

Re: Export audio newbie question

Is it possible to make Audacity to no keep aking me to save changes when I exit the program? Currently, no that's not possible. The concern is that novice users would dismiss the warning without reading or understanding it and then lose valuable work. Audacity has a very high proportion of "no...

Re: Curious, What happened to the Hard Limiter?

Depending on where and how it was installed before, it may still be on your machine, in which case you can re-enable it if you want.
Plug-ins are mostly fairly small files, so they don't take up much disk space. Any that you don't want to use you can disable and then safely ignore them.

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

Steve has his vote counted as "if user had not edited the project/had only imported files". I'm supporting tcbrack's proposal, to have an option to consider a project consisting only of imported, but unmodified, tracks to be "clean" and not ask to save the project. In this case,...

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

a) it will not prevent all the complaints (even if we remove Change Pitch 0% from the Undo Stack) It will help users more than a preference that they don't know exists. b) naive users will not read or understand your "don't show again" message That argument could apply to any warning. By ...

Re: Problem with piano sound

The problem is that it sounds the same as the YouTube video precisely. yes, but it 'looks' quite different when zoomed in close, and now we can see why it sounds terrible: firsttrack000.png As you can see, every seventh sample is at "zero" (on the centre line). I'd guess that the most lik...
