Re: New User: Library question

The strange thing now is that when I look for this location in Finder, I cannot locate it, but Audacity says it is there. So long as Audacity can find it and use it, that's good enough. As a newcomer to Mac OS X, I'm astounded by how bad the included file browser ("Finder") is, so I'd not...

Re: transferring audio files from ZOOM HN4

I use a Zoom H2, and I think this basic method also applies to the H4. If you computer has a flash card reader, the easiest way to transfer recording is to take the flash card out of the Zoom and put it into the computer flash card reader (if your computer does not have a built-in flash card reader,...

Re: Optimal bit depth setting with Yeti mic?

The optimal "sample format" ("bit-depth") for Audacity is 32-bit float (always, regardless of the microphone / sound card being used) 32-bit float provides much better processing precision, and because Audacity uses 32-bit float format internally, it avoids unnecessary losses due...

Re: Audacity 2.1 crashes

So, what is the big secret others using Audacity/Ubuntu are hiding for me? :D No secret. Now that we have eliminated the old Ubuntu build as the cause, my suspicions fall on the sound system. Audacity can be rather sensitive to instability in the sound system. That's not a problem so long as the so...

Re: Critical Nyquist Files

Sorry you've lost me. Has someone helped you to sort out the problem? Do you now have a clean and correct installation of Audacity 2.1.2?

Re: Spectral selection labels

I'd like a visual indication of the label limits, as it would be too slow to interpret the range as text while it's playing. Just a rectangle on the spectrogram would be good, without highlighting. If the track is in a spectrogram view, why not just tab from one label to the next while it is playin...

Re: Critical Nyquist Files

Is there a video on you tude to help with the problems? Not that I'm aware of. Let's take it step by step. Say where you get stuck: Double-click the downloaded DMG to mount it. The DMG window opens. Do not double-click the “Audacity” folder in the DMG window. Drag the entire “Audacity” folder icon ...
