Audacity Forum

I'd guess that it's a problem with the recording system, but you've told us nothing about that.

Two reasons why you can't use the Draw tool there: 1) You are not zoomed in close enough. You need to zoom in so close that you can see the individual dots (the "samples"). 2) You are in "Pause" mode. Playback must be "Stopped". (Click the Button with the yellow square)...

Having had a quick look, it looks like it should be fairly straightforward to make the default either the "Documents" directory, or the "Music" directory. Examples: Unix/Mac: ~/Documents Windows: "C:\Users\username\Documents" Unix/Mac: ~/Music Windows: "C:\Users\us...

But I will still prefer it to be either the "Music" folder or even the "Documents" folder on Windows. The user may of course choose any writable location that they want, but I would much prefer that navigating begins from a valid writable location than from a forbidden location....

I can live with that, and I agree, better than now.

But first we would have to be clear what we want I think that the first and most important thing that we need is a more sensible default save/export directory. Personally I would class it as a "bug" that the default is a non-writable location. I don't think that it should be too dificult ...

There is no setting to tell Audacity to record at the wrong pitch.

How are you doing that?

How are you doing that?

Which version of Windows?
Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity")

If this were hardware, it would probably be a push button labelled something like:
"Solo: single / multi"

"Plot Spectrum" uses FFT analysis to split the sound into lots of frequency bands, and then plots a graph to indicate the amplitude in each frequency band. Points between each of the distinct frequencies are plotted by interpolating between the points on the graph (it draws a smooth curve ...

It's partly an Audacity issue too because Audacity also buffers the audio data, and it's partly a hardware / drivers issue. With some combination of hardware / drivers / sound system, if playback ends before all of the various buffers are full, then the sound card may not even try to play the audio,...
