FWIW this wxGTK3 documentation https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.0/GtkFileChooserDialog.html#gtkfilechooserdialog-setting-up argues against specifying the directory on Linux, instead letting GTK "choose". On Linux, the default Save, Save As and Export directory (reset preferences, nothin...

You have very old instructions. The current version of Audacity is 2.1.1 and is available here: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/windows You can check your current version number by looking in "Help > About Audacity". The recommended "Audacity 2.1.1 installer" includes the fu...

The easiest way for best possible quality is to Export the audio as "WAV 32-bit float" (in the "other uncompressed files" options: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/file_export_dialog.html). This is the same ultra-high quality format that Audacity uses internally. Copy the WAV...

I dug into the wxWidgets 3.0 documentation and find that the Mac version of its file dialog does not allow adding widgets. I don't think that is a problem because we are already using a custom file dialog (see Exporter::CreateUserPane https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/src/export/Expo...

and usually stereo (twice the data). If the Audacity show is all mono (centre panned mono tracks), then the exported file is mono, so no doubling of data. No problem with using FLAC other than some audio programs don't support it without installing additional codecs/filters. Flac also has the benef...

I'm running out of ideas. Try resetting the Audacity preferences (With Audacity closed, find the hidden file " ~/audacity-data/audacity.cfg " and delete it.) Ensure that no other audio applications are running. Then start Audacity and set the recording and playback devices in the device to...

Does the mix to mono do the same averaging as Tracks > Stereo Track to Mono? Yes. Do you think Export Multiple should have a checkbox to show Metadata Editor only for the first track, then pass through the data to the other tracks, or should that be in your dropdown for Export Multiple only? I've n...

Aren't there Macro's or something I could past directly were I want it? Not needing the Mix and rendering feature? The "Mix and Render" step is not required. That's just an optional step if you want to see the show as one track before you export. All you need to do is: 1) Import the files...

No, it is better to work on the local hard drive. Recording and playback require that the audio data is available as a continuous stream without interruption. USB in particular may have unexpected delays reading or writing that can cause dropouts and other errors in the data, which could even cause ...

It looks like your use of intptr_t is what has broken building on Linux. OK, you can fix that by adding to allegro.h and mem.h: #include "stdint.h" Is it actually necessary to modify the third party libraries to make it build in VS 2015? Generally we leave the libraries alone unless the l...
