None of the other Tracks menu items respect Mute/Solo. None of the other Track menu items are mixing tracks. 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, expe...

Ok, so what I did the other day, was download the DMG file, and in the Installation window, dragged the Audacity folder to the Applications folder. It asked me if I wanted to Merge it with the existing folder, or Replace the existing folder. I thought ok, it should be smart enough to keep settings,...

I don't think that the term "Mix and Render" is "bad". The term "Mix" and the term "Render" are both valid and commonly used terms individually, but not as a phrase. Given that most of our users have little or no experience of audio production software, I doub...

Audacity can sometimes be coaxed into using newer versions of ffmpeg by configuring Audacity with the --disable-dynamic-loading option. (The two dots at the start assume that you are building into a sub-directory of the source code)

There's also the "Adjustable Fade" effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/adjustable_fade.html The "Envelope" tool has the advantage that it works in "real-time". It does not change the underlying audio data until you either mixdown the track "Tracks > Mix an...

Also, I just got a notice urging me to download a new version of the K-Lite Codec Pack. That has nothing to do with Audacity. Audacity does not use K-Lite Codec Pack.Personally I don't recommend installing "code packs" because in most cases you have no idea what is in them or whether it w...

OK, so here's " Binaural Tones with Surf 3 ". Functionally it does the same as David's Binaural Beats 2, but the controls have been changed, several bug fixes, and it should be a bit quicker too. I've updated the instructions in the file, which are reproduced below. This plug-in has been t...

My guess is that you're trying to use an ANSI build of WxWidgets rather than a Unicode build.
Do you really need to build audacity from source? I thought that Open Suse already had a fairly up to date version of Audacity?

1) Click on the track that you want to move. 2) In the "Selection Toolbar" (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/selection_toolbar.html), set the length to zero and the "Selection Start" time to the exact time that you want the track to start. 3) Tracks menu > Align Tracks > Star...

The worst seems to be when Audacity level is at 100%. That's the opposite of what I (and DVDdoug) would expect. Could you post a couple of short audio sample in WAV format to illustrate the differences with different settings. Just a few seconds for each sample will be adequate. See here for how to...
