Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Congratulations MichloIW. First, the file is in WAV format Doh! I also recommend using a bit of EQ to take out a bit of a resonance. I found that taking a bit out around 600 Hz helped smooth out some of this issue. I thought it was a little lower than that (around 450 'ish but I didn't check) and I ...

Why is that? What are you doing (step by step) to export? What is happening or not happening?
If the Export menu item is grayed out, try pressing the Stop button. (Most commands are disabled when Audacity is playing, recording or paused).

Re: Feature request: Moving tracks

Is your argument against moving selected tracks up/down by mouse or against doing it all (so you are against a menu method also)? No problem with "Tracks > Move Selected Tracks Up / Down". Quite useful in that it allows tracks to be moved using a keyboard shortcut. One slight problem is t...

Re: Recording computer playback using WASAPI or MME

Most built-in sound cards these days claim to support 24-bit recording, if the Default Format settings in Windows are to be believed. I recently read a technical review article for an inexpensive audio device that claimed 24 bit recording (sorry I can't find the article now). The test results showe...

Re: Always loop?

Topic moved to "Adding Features". Is there any way to make the audio loop when I select a specific section within a loop? We currently have a feature request for: " Loop from cursor to track end " which you may want to vote for. I couldn't find a feature request for looping a sel...

Re: USB audio from a USB mixer

I'm recording and playing, editing at the CD quality rate but what the radio station wants is an MP3 That's exactly how I would do it (but actually "better than CD quality" while working because the Audacity default is "32 bit float, 44100 Hz" rather than CD "16 bit 44100 H...

How about "Extend Silences..." ? (and should it be "Truncate Silences..." ?)

Re: Playback with pulseaudio on Ubuntu

I was just about to try that myself :) . It was worth a shot. Even if you set pulse latency higher than 30? I tried it at 30 and 300, but when "sliding" the slider Audacity still freezes. When just "clicking" the slider it will often not freeze, which makes we wonder if it could...

Re: Playback with pulseaudio on Ubuntu

Crossposting a workaround that's been discussed elsewhere for this problem. If you run audacity with the environment variable PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC set to any value (for instance, 30 or even 1), then pulse does not exhibit these symptoms. env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=1 audacity Thanks OmnipotentEntity. I se...
