Re: Call for new forum icons

Thanks for the new icons. I have updated the forum board to the new icons. Personally I prefer these to the dark blue version, though I think they would look better just a little darker, say #098ccd rather than #0b98de. This does not address the point: "with just one colour, the individual icon...

Re: Playing music on Audacity (Online Radio show)

What are you trying to do?
Is your radio show a "live" radio show?
Are you trying to record a radio show?
What operating system are you using? (which version of Windows?)
Which version of Audacity (look in "Help > About Audacity" for the full version number).

Re: Windows 10, Did I stumble upon a fix?

I looked at another post and it said to make sure I have the latest audio drivers (I think). I haven't done that but may try this weekend. If it's working correctly with your current drivers there is no need to update them. If it's not broken, don't fix it. On the other hand, I agree with Gale that...

Re: saved audacity project is cut into multiple mp3 files

An "Audacity project" consists of an "Audacity project file" (.AUP file) and a "_data" folder. The "_data" folder contains the audio data as (hundreds of) small ".AU" files. The AUP file tells Audacity how to reconstruct the project from the audio da...

Re: Batch add silence to FLACs?

Provided that the FLAC files are not too long, you can use the "Trim / Extend" plug-in to add silence: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Effect_Plug-ins#Trim_.2F_Extend This plug-in loads the entire track into RAM, so it can't be used on very long tracks. Create a "Chain"...

There have been some legitimate customised versions over the years. I don't have details, though "Audacity Portable" comes to mind (a version of Audacity for "PortableApps". There are also unofficial (illegal) modified versions of Audacity distributed as "Audacity" that...
