Re: Are sound adjustments 'destructive'—or 'offline?'

I'm assuming that tweaking the eq on the same bit up and down etc., might degrade things. Assuming that your tracks are "32-bit float" format (that's the default) then you can do an enormous amount of EQ tweaking without any noticeable (or even measurable) degrading. 32-bit float is extre...

Note that Auda...

Re: Split Audio into Tonal and Transient Components

I don't know if it works with Audacity but there's a plug-in called "Physion" by "Eventide" that claims to do that. I've not tested because it costs $179.

Re: Getting rid of gray lines to select track for conversion to WAV

The current version of Audacity is 2.4.2: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ one day these gray lines started sticking around after I had deleted my set markers post edit. I never changed anything to put them there. They just showed up, and now they are everywhere, and they won't let me ...

Re: Envelope mode inner handle boundary not visible in Dark or High Contrast themes

Works fine for me with Audacity 2.4.2 (built from the source code) on Xubuntu 18.04.

Re: LP side two track numbering to follow from side one

The easiest solution is to name one of the exports "album-name Side 1 - <track number>" and the other "album-name Side 2 - <track number>", then it doesn't matter that both start numbering from 1.
