Re: Repair/Auto Heal

Re: Can I export to .m4r

Re: Disallow adjusting an envelope inflection point ...

Re: Audacity filling up the /var/tmp directory in Ubuntu 14.

the other more common sense ting to do as well is open audacity select: .. <snip>... Yes, the recommended (and simplest) way to change the location of Audacity's temp folder is to change it in the Audacity Preferences.

Re: How to remove vocals from a guitar cover

"Vocal Remover" only works for sounds that are positioned dead centre of a stereo track. There are some third party effects that may help in other cases, but note that removing vocals from a recording is not always possible. How successful the tools are depend on the audio content. See her...
