Audacity Forum

I remind you the downside of present choices is restricting scrubbing to the select tool. I would like it to work in the multi-tool. But too many mouse clicks are already taken to do other things in that tool. I don't understand why you were strongly opposed to having a "scrubbing tool" (...

You will always get a delay when using "Software Playthough" because of the time that it takes for the software to move the audio data. It will get confusing having two topics about the same issue (http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=87650) We much prefer that you don't ...

Which exact version of Audacity? (there have been fairly recent bug fixes - there may still be some quirks)
Please post some screenshots showing the envelope control points (white dots) before and after the edit.

I've not used Superlux, but I've heard that they have quite a good reputation for budget priced headphones for studio monitoring. They make several different models under 60 Euro.

You mean "Optimize storage for: Space saving" or the like? Yes. We never store at bit depth above the file quality, but also never store below the file quality (as now), so in that unusual case we store as 32-bit float. So if you import a 32-bit float track, (preferences 16-bit / space sa...

1) Ensure that "Overdub" is on (selected) and "Software Playthrough" is off (not selected). 2) With at least one audio track in the project, press the "Play" button. Do you hear the audio playing? 3) With at least one audio track in the project, press the "Record&q...

If you cut and paste from one track to a track that has a different sample format: If you paste as a new audio clip, the pasted data is not changed. If you paste into an existing audio clip, the pasted data is converted to the same format as the audio clip that it is being merged with. An audio trac...

"Editing" (ie. cut, copy, paste, delete) does not change the audio data format.
"Processing" (ie. all effects) is performed as 32-bit float.

The current version of Audacity is 2.1.1 http://web.audacityteam.org/download/
Your description does not match any known bug for Audacity 2.1.0 or 2.1.1.

make the choice something like "Optimize storage for:" Quality (your method) or Space saving (which means, never store at bit depth above the file quality, so 24-bit WAV gets stored at 24-bit, not 32-bit as now). So what happens if you have "Optimise for storage" and you import ...
