Audacity Forum

The only glitch I have seen so far, and if there is a place to report it please let me know, that my headphone through speaker jack do not work when using Audacity. As soon as a quit, or go to a different program, headphones work again. Audacity directs its sound to whatever "playback device&q...

acoustic guitar plugged direct to computer.
vocals through a microphone.
the electronic drums plug straight into the computer.

How is the mic connected to the computer?

Each of these files will open in audacity but they are seconds of the interview. There are hundreds of them.

Don't mess with those files. The file and folder names are critical.

Just move the entire _data folder to the same location as its .aup file, then open the .aup file with Audacity.

Audacity cannot use FAT formatted drives for the Temp directory because FAT does not support "sockets".

Making a backup is no problem, but restoring currently requires that Audacity is not ...

files are 16bit/44.1khz Unless you have changed Audacity's defaults, that will be imported as a "32-bit float" track. If it is a 16-bit track, that will slow down processing as Audacity works internally in 32-bit float, so a 16 or 24-bit track has to be converted twice on each process (wi...

I do not believe the .aup file and the _data folder are in the "same location" (ie: they are not in the same folder)...could that be why Yes that could be the problem, and ... "Couldn't find project data folder" That indicates that it IS the problem. When a project is saved, the...

I can only get a txt file of the ACX plug in That "text" file IS the plug-in. It "should" have a file extension of ".ny", though Macs often add ".txt" to the name when you save it. How will I know what ACX plug in version I have? If you post a screenshot I ca...
