Re: 14000 Error

I suspect that you mean "error 14001", in which case the correct solution is to download and install the appropriate Microsoft "Redistributable Package".
Full details and download links are in this FAQ: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... html#14001

Re: ERROR in Plot Spectrum?

Both could be useful, though they are somewhat fringe options for mono tracks. In that case I don't know what you mean by "average multiple tracks/channels". The confusion is with stereo tracks where the peak in the spectrum analysis is higher than the peak when you play or export. The pe...

Re: ERROR in Plot Spectrum?

Would you support an option to average multiple tracks/channels? I don't see that has any great benefits over other methods. If you have two identical audio channels, would you not expect the amplitude for each frequency bin to be 6dB higher than just one audio channel? If we decide that we want to...

Re: Gaps, cues

With most modern CD burning programs you don't need cue sheets because the...

Re: Audacity killed my computer's sound card

Did you download Audacity from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ I installed it on this computer (a ThinkPad T400 with Windows 7) and then I tried launching it...it crashed right on launch. I tried restarting Windows, it...
