Re: EQ in Audacity 2.0.5

When I go to another track and set the EQ for that track, the EQ settings shown for the first track are the ones I set for the second track, not the first track. Are those the actual EQ settings or is Audacity being "helpful" by showing me the last setting I used on any track? Most effect...

Re: EQ in Audacity 2.0.5

Audacity 2.4.2 is believed to run on Windows 7, though we don't test on obsolete operating systems. To upgrade from Audacity 2.0.5 to 2.4.2, just run the installer and install the new version over the top of your current version. During the installation, look out for the option to "Reset Prefer...

Re: Changing volumes of tracks in the same time

The thing is that your code changes volume of all tracks to the same number. The topic here is to decrease volume of every track by xx dB (relative value). There are many variations possible on this theme. My post was intended as an easy example (just two lines of actual code). I found another scri...

Re: Starting a recording sometimes scrolls and other times not

unfortunately your possible solution doesn't work as at step 3 it still needs an active audio stream and still misses the start at step 4. That's a shame, but thanks for trying. It would have been a nice easy workaround if it had worked ;) OK, so what you need to do is to go into the Windows Sound ...

Re: Routing 1 USB Mic to Audacity + Zencastr

But as soon as I needed that signal sent to two applications - Audacity and Zencastr - I needed to select Pulse as the recording device. Thanks for posting the update. One of the main reasons for the existence of PulseAudio is that it can support multiple clients, whereas (most) ASIO drivers suppor...

Re: recorded to exported audio discrepancy

I've attacched a shot of the quality settings That looks perfect. The settings for MP3 encoding quality are in a different place. They appear after you select "File menu > Export > Export as MP3". See here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/mp3_export_options.html For good quality stere...

Re: Overdub not working

"Audio Device Info" is a diagnostic tool. If you post that info here on the forum it may give us a clue as to what the problem is.

Re: Starting a recording sometimes scrolls and other times not

Topic moved to Windows forum. When I press record, sometimes Audacity starts scrolling straight away so I get the start of recordings, other times I press record and it does nothing until I start to play what I want to record and it misses the first note. How do I get it to always scroll when record...

Re: Changing volumes of tracks in the same time

'VolumeDown is a tool to decrease (or increase) volume of all tracks of .AUP file for Audacity' This won't work in future versions of Audacity. From the next Audacity release (version 3.0.0) Audacity's project format changes to become a single file (the new format is based on SQLite) rather than th...

Here is the source code in Free Pascal.
Thanks for including the source code. We're big fans of open source.
Have you used ever GitHub? It's a very convenient way to host source code and binaries (Audacity source code is on GitHub).
