I believe people like me who split stereo tracks and those who mix to clear space will get bear-trapped. An important feature of any "trap", whether for bears or otherwise, is that it remains hidden until the trap is sprung. In the aforementioned case of two tracks where track 2 is both m...

What is the point of Mix tracks: None? Say you have a multi-track project in which tracks 2 and 7 of 30 have complex envelopes and you want to "render" those envelopes so that you may more easily add new envelope points. You don't want any other changes to the project at this stage. Curre...

I am still -1 to "Mixdown" as a name that means something different to "Mixing down" in Warnings Preferences. As i have written several times. It is my opinion that "mixing", unless we provide some sort of "modifier" that the user explicitly selects, should a...

Check this out: "Amazon’s Audible makes a push towards podcasting with hiring spree" As Audible have not yet published "quality guidelines" specifying their technical requirements for podcasts (afaik), that's good reason to ensure that you have a high quality backup of work in W...

"Mixdown Tracks" acts like the current "Mix and Render" except that Mute and Solo buttons are respected. "Mixdown to New Track" acts like the current "Mix and Render to New Track" except that Mute and Solo buttons are respected. Personally I'd be happy with t...

OK, so here's another variation for supporting customisable mixing / rendering options: In Preferences there is a page for "Custom Mix / Render Options". This includes options for (suggested defaults in brackets): Mix tracks: All / Selected / None ["Selected"] Ignore Mute button ...

Wouldn't your option 4 above be that used in options 1 and 2 as the commande No, though I agree that the names I chose (off the top of my head) are not particularly clear. The third menu item brings up a dialog with options for mixing / rendering. The 4th menu item repeats that effect (mix with cus...

Is there anyway to add cover art using Audacity? No, not yet. MP3Tag is a good alternative. This is a popular request, though we don't currently have any developers working on it. It is logged on the Audacity wiki feature request page and I have added your vote. With Podcasting, the standard is now...

Or maybe we just the the one Mix command that could pop up a dialog where the user cour choose their options: I'd not want to lose separate shortcuts for "Mix and Render" and "Mix and Render to New Track". I regularly use both. In multi-track projects I frequently want to retain...

Mixing on playback respects Mute and Solo. Mixing on Export respects Mute but not Solo. Mixing to a new track respects neither Mute or Solo. Sorry but I don't see that to be consistent, expected or intuitive. The ever so simple solution is for mixing to come after mute and solo in the effect stack,...
