By default, Reaper and Cakewalk will use ASIO to connect to the audio device, but due to licensing issues Audacity cannot currently be shipped with ASIO support. ASIO usually takes exclusive control of the audio device, and so prevents any non-asio applications from accessing the audio device. If yo...

Having trouble playing mp3s and wav files.

Only MP3 and WAV files? Will Audacity play anything at all?

There's a workaround. Create a new Macro (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/macros.html) and add the command "Move Focused Track to Bottom". Optionally you could create a keyboard shortcut to run the macro (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/keyboard_preferences.html) When you...

Its the scripting reference that I was actually looking for. Note that the current implementation of scripting is relatively new, and so is the documentation. Since Audacity 2.4.2 was released a few small errors have been discovered in the docs, and a few things not working quite as expected. The n...
