I think it's still true you can't change the UNDO order. Yes, that's correct, The Undo history is a strictly ordered list. It's like a journey. If you travel from New York, to Philadelphia, to Richmond, to Charlotte, to Atlanta; you can't go back from Richmond to Philadelphia without first going ba...

The recording lasts for about an hour, but the clicking only is happening for 10 minutes of it (from 35 minutes to 45 minutes). Since most of it is okay, I think I got the settings right. Try adjusting the "Audio to buffer" setting in "Edit > Preferences > Recording" (http://man...

Foobar is one I had not yet tried, so I gave it a go and it crashes upon trying to open up the audio file. Wow, I have never known Foobar to crash. How about converting using Windows Media Player? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-vista/convert-music-videos-and-pictures-from-one-format-to-...

since both Audacity and Wave Repair are set by default to indicate clipping at 0dB, why then is Audacity showing a wav file (not converted) as clipped in many different spots and yet Wave Repair is showing no clipping. Perhaps Wave Repair is using an algorithm similar to the "Find Clipping&quo...

Audacity is able to support some proprietary formats via FFmpeg (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown) If the proprietary format is not supported by FFmpeg, then you will need to convert the files to a supported format (such as WAV) before you can use them i...

Audacity 1.2.6 used a much older version of LAME and there may well be compatibility issues. (Audacity 1.2.6 became officially obsolete over 3 years ago). I'd suggest that you uninstall LAME and reinstall following the instructions here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug...

When I export the audio to mp3 the quality is 128kbps.Is ther no more possibility to get a higher quality ? For best quality, export as WAV. For better quality MP3, when you select "MP3" as the Export format, click the "Options" button and select higher quality settings. The pre...
