To answer your "title" question: In a macro, if you add the command "UnmuteTracks:" it will un-mute the current track if was muted, and do nothing if it was not muted. Macros can be very useful for chaining multiple commands, but they don't do logical operations. They are just a ...

Re: Script to toggle mute/unmute for a clip?

Normalize to 0 dB would likely restore the clip hotter than the original. You wrote: 3) if amplitude > 0 set entire clip volume to 0% using adjustable fade 3) if amplitude = 0 set entire clip volume to 100% using adjustable fade If the original peak amplitude is 0 dB, then "Normalize" to ...

Re: MP3 import fails

The current version of Audacity requires that MP3 files strictly comply with the MP3 standard. It has been discovered since Audacity 2.4.2 was released that many MP3 files do not comply strictly with the standard and so will not load. The next Audacity release will be more forgiving.

That update was preparatory work for the release that will follow the upcoming 3.0.0 - it will not, I think, be in the 3.0.0 release.

Re: Adding Music to Podcast

Assuming that you have three audio files: Intro music, Podcast, end music: (Tip: For best quality, you should use WAV files.) 1. Import the three files into Audacity 2. Zoom out a bit so that you can see some empty space beyond the end of the podcast (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/zooming...

Re: Carbonite back-up and Audacity projects and files

A couple of points re. Audacity projects: 1. Whatever backup solution you use, ensure that it does not access Audacity Projects while they are open. "Synchronizing" Audacity Projects with cloud services while they are open can corrupt the project. 2. The next Audacity release uses a new pr...
