Do you have a changelog for the new features expected in 2.0.6? Not yet, but it is due to be released very soon. There will be a changelog published when 2.0.6 is released. Look on the Download page (http://audacityteam.org/download/) and click on the "Release Notes" link below the Window...

Re: Creating a cassette converter plug-in

Do compression/noise reduction to the whole recorded track Compression is rarely if ever necessary for recording from tapes because the dynamic range of tape is already quite small. Compression just reduces the dynamic rage further. Noise reduction is often beneficial. It would be useful (simpler t...

Nyquist plug-ins can not call other plug-ins.

It may just be that the volume level on QSynth is turned up too high.

Re: 4 headsets and a mixer

I'm looking for an adapter to amplify headset microphones (for computer to be more precise) to put and use them ina a standard mixer. If it is a USB computer microphone, then no, there is no such adapter. If it is a "conventional" (3.5mm jack plug) computer mic, then I'm not aware of any ...

Re: Controls not working

I'm trying to guess what you might be doing as you have not said what instructions you are following. If the instructions are on-line, perhaps you can post a link. I practice getting a :10 cut Not sure what you mean. Chosing Edit>Remove Audio or Lebels>Trim Audio does nothing For that to work, you n...

Re: Replacing a track's source audio

Winamp and other audio programs play flowing tracks without any skips during the transition, so maybe they're coded to ignore it. Yes, several players manage to cheat the limitation by automatically skipping over a bit at the start and doing a quick short fade. The LAME encoder is able to add a &qu...

Re: can hear MIDI but can't record it (reprise)

The bit about sample rates may not be quite right.
You may need to set Audacity and QSynth to both use 44100, regardless of the rate that PulseAudio is running at. Try 44100 first.

Ideally, PulseAudio should be running at the same rate (44100) but it should still be OK if it is running at 48000 Hz.

Re: can hear MIDI but can't record it (reprise)

For better performance, Jack Audio system should be used, but that's another layer of setting up, so if PulseAudio works OK use that. If you have performance problems, you may need to investigate setting up your computer to use Jack Audio System (also known as "jackd"). Why is this so diff...
