Audacity Forum

I've had a similar problem recently (on Linux, but the same principles still apply). The version of FFmpeg must match the requirements of the Audacity version. If the versions don't match, then it won't work whatever you do. I'd suggest that you start over: 1) Remove Audacity and FFmpeg. 2) Delete t...

So then I went into the sound card on the PC, see pic 2 & made some adjustments, which improved things no end. Pic 3 is the Mixpad track imported into Audacity. Then I had a quick look at the Audacity recording device box & saw the MX61 was showing as an option, clicked on that played the M...

Have you tried recording the streaming audio in 16-bit? (the streaming audio is probably 16-bit).

Are you trying to import the files from a remote server?

Wouldn't it be nice if someone could make this into an Audacity module: http://plugin.org.uk/meterbridge/

Sorry I can't help much with this as I'm on Linux, but just to say that GitHub is the official repository and all official Audacity releases come from the code in GitHub. The current ZIP download from GitHub "should" work correctly - there's still a few bugs to be fixed before the next rel...

Low visibility of recent peak in the gradient meters is another reason I personally prefer the RMS meters. No problem here, but glad we have a choice so we can keep everyone happy ;) I think it would be good to see more metering options in the future - there are still those that want "true pea...
