Re: Record/save tracks alignment issue

The current version of Audacity is 2.1.1 and is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/windows Are you sure they are playing at the wrong speed and not just starting at slightly different times?

Re: Administrator approval

Thanks Gale. Just a thought about making the default save/export directory the same as the import/open directory: There's quite a high chance that the imported data comes from read only media (for example, reading files from an MP3 CD), or from some other unsuitable location (web browsers will often...

Re: Everything is crashing now! Please help!

Re: Crackling/clicks heard on all files

What "project rate" are you using? (bottom left corner of the main Audacity window). The default is 44100.

Re: Experimental waterfall spectrograms (picture!)

"3D waterfall spectrograms" are most commonly used as a "visualization aid". They also provide pretty "eye candy". I've never come across the use of this type of display for editing. To make it a useful tool for editing I would want to be able to rotate the 3D view and ...
