Good to know, but then why does Default show up as an option in the Audacity playback menu along w/ Pulse? Let me rephrase my comment: On a standard Ubuntu installation, the default playback device is PulseAudio. On other systems it may be different. Where does it feed sound to? Where does the soun...

The version that you posted the link for has a limit of 128 (or 127) data points, but that's not what is causing the current error. In the version that you posted the link to, the control "Input Spectrum text file\n(max 128 points)" requires the exact file path to the text file that contai...

Mind you, I don't understand what a "point" means. I'd have thought a "point" was a frequency/level pair, so the number of lines of data in the exported spectrum file. I would have expected with size 128 there there would be 64 lines of data, but there are only 63 lines. In this...

Im using 2.06 Do you mean Audacity 2.0.6? That's quite an old version now. the current version is 2.1.2 which is available here: http://www.audacity.audio/download/windows/ suddenly I try to do that and get a terrible noise.... the blue audio signal fills the panel ... its a total mess ! You may ha...

if FLAC is pumped up What exactly do you mean by "pumped up"? ReplayGain tags should only tell the player how much gain to apply to the audio on playback, they should not change the audio in any way. You seem to be under the (false) impression that ReplayGain compresses the dynamics in so...

What is "Inverter"?

trying to mix live singing with pre-recorded music The way to do that is, as Gale wrote, Import the pre-recorded music into Audacity, then record the live singing (which will appear as a new track below the imported music). This is called "overdubbing" (or "over-dub recording")....
