But we have asked already for the same dependency, so I don't think it is terrible behaviour either. I don't think that we can reasonably expect users to remember if a project that they saved months ago has dependencies or not. If you're concerned about annoying users with repeated nagging then per...

You mean open a saved project, edit it, then File > Save Project should prompt if you want to overwrite that project? No, I mean that by default: open a saved project that has dependencies, edit it, then "File > Save Project" or "File > Save Project As" should prompt if you want...

I've not tested this specific audio sample, but as a general rule I'd recommend using noise reduction before compression / limiting effects. * Normalize to 0 dB (with DC offset removal enabled) * Noise reduction * Compression / limiter If compression is done first it tends to cause the noise floor t...

Which model of Zoom?

which Audacity came with Probably an old version. Look in "Audacity > About Audacity" for the version number. The current version is 2.1.2 which is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/mac . Can anyone possibly help me figure out how I set my decks up to play and record throug...

Not all laptops are the same, but generally the "Mic" input on a laptop is for a "mono computer microphone" and not suitable for recording high level signals such as mixers / CD players / MP3 players / keyboards / anything else. The usual solution is to use a USB "stereo lin...

Well, maybe it's a popular thing, but everytime when i save my project ( i mean when i convert it to mp3 ) there is a large decibel increase, like 30 Dbs up, it happens to me everytime. I couldn't find anything to solve this. At least send me a link where i can solve this. You'll need to tell us ex...

that risk is already there with Save Project As... I wrongly assumed that "Save As" would prompt the user in the same way as "Save Project" does, but I see that it doesn't. Also, "Save Project" only prompts for new projects, not when an existing project has been opened...

I don't personally think it's as important as lack of warning and data loss when users run out of disk space (which is P2 right now) I'd bet that more work gets lost because users don't understand that projects have multiple parts than due to running out of disk space. At least, I think we are more...

Does it need to prompt for dependencies? For safety I think it should. Example: Original project name = "Over the sea" Audacity project file name: "over-the-sea.aup" Project data folder name: "over-the-sea_data" Dependent file: "over-the-sea.wav" User then re...
