Audacity Forum

Audacity exports files to the location that you select in the export dialog (provided that the location is writeable and the file name is valid). Audacity has no special provision for writing to smart phones. You will need to refer to the smart phone documentation, or ask the smart phone manufacture...

If some functionalites of Audacity could be used to create a software that will have a cost, is it legal ? Audacity is licensed under the terms of GPL v2.

If we distribute an external application it should come with all three platforms. On Linux the convention is to package separate applications separately. Thus the "reset app" would be a separate package from the "audacity" application. The "reset app" could be listed a...

From the above we can see that wxT("Audacity") is redefined every time it is used (five times). This is very poor programming technique, it should be defined once in a header file The only one of those that I know about is: D:AudacitySVNsrceffectsnyquistNyquist.cpp(165): return wxT("...

What happens if they type Oscar.acc or Oscar.mp5 "Warning .mp5 is not a valid file extension for MP3 files. Audacity will append .mp3 to the file name. Click OK to append .mp3 or CANCEL to return to the file dialog" Audacity could apply a simple (though not infallible) test on whether it ...

If you append-record one track while overdub plays another track, then the latency correction is done AFTER recording stops. You can see what you just recorded jump left (if the setting is negative). That's a little weird, and wouldn't it be better to figure out the latency correction up front as t...

So faced with Dr.Zhivago when exporting MP3, Audacity writes the following? Dr.Zhivago.mp3 Yes. Though if they wrote: Dr|Dre asks "why 3/4?" they would get something like: Dr_Dre asks _why 3/4_.mp3 on the grounds that some format extensions may need to be legitimately changed as you said,...

Would a warning like this have helped? I don't expect that, or Ed's alternative would help much. However, I suspect that most folks who run into this for the first time will be clueless; So to see a significant reduction in these problems, I think we need to cater for the clueless. I'm not saying t...

If the file name has dots in it I think we must default to adding the standard extension for the file type, and provide an option for the small minority of users who want to use a different extension. Much as I don't like to encourage bad practice, that would save a lot of problems. A good case for...

I don't know much about transcription, but from your description, it sounds like a task that would benefit greatly from a specialised program developed specifically for the task. Why have two applications open? Wouldn't it be better if the same application had all of the playback and audio transport...
