Note that MP3 is a lossy format, so converting to MP3 will lose some precision in your signals, Also, MP3s always have a little bit of leading silence. During production of your signals, I would highly recommend that you stick with "lossless" formats such as WAV. One way to append files en...

You mean, in the proposal? No, I mean now, Audacity 2.1.2 RC3. Only if Audacity could not write to the hard drive file system? Are you thinking of a Linux live USB stick? I've not really experimented with running Audacity from a USB stick. I recall that on (some?) Windows systems one can log in wit...

To clarify the starting point of this proposal:
1) What are the out-of-the-box default export / save directories for correctly installed Audacity on each platform?
2) Could "Documents" be a problem when running Audacity from a USB stick with "Portable Settings"?

Does this mean you could/would remove these settings from Preferences Steve? I've not tried it yet, I'm just polling opinion on the concept at this stage. (Obviously I think it is a good idea, and it would resolve a couple of long-standing feature requests). Assuming that it works, then yes, these ...

It looks like your use of intptr_t is what has broken building on Linux.

It's rather melodramatic to call rand() "evil", and I can't bring myself to accept comments like "pretty f***ing horrible" as a serious critique. C++ notes that "rand() is not recommended for serious random-number generation needs, like cryptography". Well we're not dea...

If you only have a few songs, you can Export Multiple then open the files with the long silence, delete the silence then save with the same name. This temporarily used quite a bit of disk space until you re-save and delete the .old files the overwrite creates, but got the job done for a few songs u...

You can make opening the Noise Reduction effect much more convenient by assigning a keyboard shortcut to the effect. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/keyboard_preferences.html After making the noise profile, you only need to reopen the Noise Reduction interface if you need to change the par...

I am trying to connect up my new T-C Helicon Voicelive3 unit to audacity2.1.1 (Windows7) so that I can SEND TO IT 1 or 2 tracks already recorded in Audacity, process them via the Voicelive3 and return them to 1 or 2 new tracks in Audacity. The Voicelive 3 uses two inputs, typically one for a microp...

Very odd. Can you reproduce the issue in a new project? If so, can you give me step by step instructions for how I can reproduce the problem?
