If you were obsessive enough, you could find and copy a bunch of clicks into one track and use that for the profile. Unfortunately that would not work very well. Even though you would then have a noise profile that matches the sound that you want to remove, because it is relatively high level and h...

to record an old radio show in mono (1 track) that had been uploaded with only the right track having sound I can't work out from that what you are trying to record. Do you have a radio plugged into your computer somehow? Is it a radio show that you recorded previously? Is it a radio show that you ...

I've updated the topic title to better describe the problem. No, Noise Reduction will not be effective for dealing with a ticking noise. Noise Reduction works on constant noise such as hiss and hum. Tick sounds are difficult to deal with, If you look in the spectrogram view (http://manual.audacityte...

if there is a limit to the number of tracks I can have safely in a project. Yes, but it depends on your hardware. There is obviously a limit to the size of the project that depends on the amount of free disk space. With a big modern hard drive that is unlikely to be an issue, but with a small SSD i...

Check in the Windows Sound Control Panel to ensure that you are getting a signal through to the computer (look in the "Recording" tab - you should see a green meter wiggling when there is an audio signal coming from the device). If that's not working, you need to fix that before anything e...

I assume that you have plenty of free disk space (you will need it). First, make a backup copy of the project: File menu > Save As -> name it with an obvious name. Create a label track with a label at the start of each song (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/label_tracks.html) For the "song ...

I agree that it's not a "bug" in itself, which is why I've not put it on bugzilla either, but it's a design flaw that we allow the error condition to arise and then rely on the plug-in to handle it. Conceivably a plug-in could behave perfectly for all valid frequency selections, but cause ...

It's no worse a restriction than Noise Reduction or EQ have now. Hopefully we can fix that problem in Noise Reduction and Equalization. That restriction is really just working around a bug rather than an inescapable limitation. Or insist that all selected tracks be made the same sample rate. <snip>...

since the 2.1.2 update the OK will only respond to a mouse click - any ideas why things have changed? It's a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release. It also won't let me use my Hard Limiter effec The hard limiter effect has been upgraded with a new "Limiter" effect. http://ma...

Audacity can import WavPack files if you install FFmpeg (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... tml#ffdown)
For exporting lossless compressed files, you could use FLAC - the compression ratio and encoding / decoding speeds are similar and both are lossless.
