Re: Shortcut to a Preference setting

Create one macro containing the command: SetPreference:Name="GUI/EditClipCanMove" Value="1" and another containing the command: SetPreference:Name="GUI/EditClipCanMove" Value="0" The first enables the option, the second disables the option. I've just tested af...

Re: Looking for a cropping work-around

Perhaps worth getting in touch with the authorities and making a complaint. A "home recording" is not evidence - your equipment is not calibrated so there is no evidence of how loud the noise is. Monitoring environmental noise requires calibrated equipment (expensive) which the authorities...

Re: I have more than one audacity on the same machine

A properly installed Audacity has its configuration / preferences files in ~/.audacity-data (where "~/" means your home directory, and the dot at the start of ".audacity-data" indicates that it is a hidden folder.) Snapd and flatpack versions should have their own configuration /...

Re: No CBR option for MP3 export?

Apparently, all that was needed was to resize the export window. I was about to suggest that ;) I'm not sure why / how they were able to have that dialog window too small to display the full contents - I've tested on my Mac and the minimum size shows the full contents. However, I'm using Big Sur, s...

Re: High Quality Audio Streching in Change Tempo

Re: Bypassing a Digitech RP?

But if I want to bypass the presets, nothing happens -- no reaction from Audacity. I hear myself in the headphones just fine. This is annoying since I like to introduce other pedals to create sounds outside the RP palette. (You bypass the presets on the RP through pressing both its pedals at the sa...

Re: Finding FFmpeg Library

Try removing all versions of FFmpeg from your computer. Then get the "ffmpeg-win-2.2.2.exe" file from here: https://lame.buanzo.org/#lamewindl Save the file anywhere convenient. Double click on the downloaded "ffmpeg-win-2.2.2.exe" file to run it. That will install FFmpeg - accep...
