Audacity Forum

it does make me wonder how exactly Audacity handles the export of a project that has both 16-bit and 24-bit audio when it is being told to export it as a 24-bit flac file. Audacity uses the official FLAC encoding library. It passes the audio data to the library, then lets the encoder do its thing. ...

I fixed the typo in the topic title. I use serato to mix on vinyl and record the mixes using serato but some songs are lower volume wise than others. This is one of the challenges of making a "live mix". The best way to make a "studio quality mix" is to not do it "live"...

That's why it has the limit.

100 million samples at 44100 Hz sample rate is about 37 minutes 47 seconds. If your track is an hour long you can analyze the first 30 minutes, then analyze the second half.

Audacity includes dozens of the most useful Lame presets.
What preset do you want to add that is not already included (and why)?

I noticed the warning about not using on one track has been removed. "Hopefully" users will at least glance briefly at the documentation (perhaps I'm hoping too much ;)) or will experiment and discover. "Normal" use: Select the parts that you want to crossfade, like this: tracks...

at the point we drag the 16-bit audio from track 2 alongside the clip already in track 1, in "space-saving" and now, we do have a mix of 16-bit and 32-bit. I think the track info should then say "16-bit/32-bit". I agree that track info saying "16-bit/32-bit float" woul...

Who is "you"? From the contents of this topic is seems that the only one to see this alleged problem is you acx01b Perhaps you could give us some steps for how to reproduce the issue.

You've not said what exactly you are wanting to do, but if you want to make a lot of use of real-time effects, you may be better to use Ardour rather than Audacity.
