Re: Assertion Failure - Lastest PPA

I presume that you are aware that you are using an alpha version of Audacity? Alpha versions are only intended for testing and development - not for production work. ../src/gtk/clipbrd.cpp(71): assert "!ms_clipboard" failed in wxClipboardSync(): reentrancy in clipboard code Do you have a b...

Re: Can my music file be irreversably write protected?

The short answer: No.

Slightly longer answer: If a recording can be played, it can be copied. What happens if you have a tape recorder (remember those? ;)) and you set it recording while there is music playing in the room?

Re: Creating a Cassette Converter plug-in

Sound Finder is a Nyquist plugin, so you can edit the default values of the controls by editing the .NY file in a plain text editor. More information about Nyquist plugins here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference The default settings for Noise Reduction are stored in the au...

Re: Audacity group on Soundcloud

So, basically, we cannot post a cover of a song, only originals? Well we certainly can't encourage, or be seen to encourage copyright violation can we, so we don't ;) Which means that one should, in the interest of avoiding legal problems, copyright his own songs before sharing In most countries, c...

Re: Adding envelope points is squirrely

I can never -- never -- get the envelope curve *not* to move when I click on it to add a new inflection point; I've noted this on all three platforms. Is there magic? Or should the routine which performs "Add a new point to an envelope curve" merely *not allow* an adjustment in the same g...

Re: Using Audacity 2.0.6-cursor sticks at beginning of recor

Click the Stop button, then check in the Transport menu that you have not inadvertently enabled "Sound Activated Recording" (it should normally be off - not selected).
