Re: Can't edit just one track

Generally, to edit part of or all of one track, you need to "select" where the edit goes. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_selection.html For this specific case: 1) Click on the waveform of the track at the point where you want to insert the silence. 2) Press "Ctrl +...

Re: How to Copy Cassette Tapes

Connect the USB device and then look in the Windows Sound Control Panel to check that it is enabled as a recording device. If Windows can't see the device, then Audacity will not be able to. If it's not showing up in the control panel, try a different USB lead and/or a different USB socket. Also you...

Re: Questions about 2.1.2

Yes, Steve, but googling for VI will fail, unless you're looking for the editor... The context is about accessibility / screen reader support. vi.png ok I changed it in the release notes to say "Visually Impaired (VI) users can ... " Thanks. Too late for inclusion in the release package, ...

Re: How to Copy Cassette Tapes

Generally you should connect the USB device before you start Audacity. If you start Audacity first, then you will need to wait a few moments for Windows to identify the device, then in Audacity use "Transport > Rescan Audio Devices". Wait a few more moments for Audacity to complete the sca...

Re: Questions about 2.1.2

Gale generally avoids using abbreviations anywhere in the documentation (other than standard abbreviations like "dB", "rms" and so on). "VI" is a common abbreviation which is widely used by blind and partially sighted people (a variation of that David Skye used to use f...

Re: Make Stereo: White Space Trap

Are you using Audacity 2.1.2 installed from the exe installer?
Please give exact steps to reproduce, then we can see if I or anyone else can reproduce the issue.

Re: VS 2015, x64, and Code Cleanup

I mean that someone using a generated waveform might not expect it to have a bunch of missing codes. I'm sure there are "scientific" cases where it makes a difference, just like the spectral gaps in white light are important for some purposes (eg photography, artist paintings). On the oth...

Re: VS 2015, x64, and Code Cleanup

Do you mean a separate (Nyquist) plug-in? I think that heneric was thinking of C++, which would probably be better for speed unless someone writes a fast primitive for Gaussian noise in Nyquist. Variance might be OK, but I wouldn't allow samples > +/-1.0. For 32-bit float, values greater than 0 dB ...

Re: Make Stereo: White Space Trap

- Create 2 signals, a few seconds long. - Align the tracks end to end. - Choose "Make Stereo Track" from the first track's drop down menu. The white space in the first track (where the second track starts) is not rendered as silence but does instead repeat the preceding content of the fir...
