Audacity Forum

Or do you mean the interface would be like Labels Editor - one row for the old and new name for each track? I rather like that idea. I imagine it as: A "properties" editor for tracks, in which there is a table, with columns for: Name, icon, track number, Pan, Gain, Mute, Solo, (Play butto...

On a slightly different tack but still with visual aids in mind. I see that there are a few votes for a grid option over the waveform. I'd vote for that I've added your vote. What are the chances of this being implemented. Realistically, it all depends on whether there is someone that has the time,...

As it stands, your question is very vague. I would suggest that you try using Audacity (the current version is 2.0.6 and is available free here: http://audacityteam.org/download/), then if you get stuck, ask about the specific thing that you are having difficulty with. Note that the user manual is i...

I think what would be really helpful is some kind of “simple, getting harder” approach to this. Is there a resource like that? Hey, don't complain - when I started with this there was the Nyquist manual and not much else ;) :D Getting started with Nyquist: Do you have a good "plain text" ...

Nyquist cannot currently change the track name, but that is something that we hope it will be able to do in a future version of Audacity.
