Re: file won't go over 2GB

But I already told you that every single one of those files played to their intended length. You did, in the 33rd post in this topic, but that's pretty easy to miss for busy support people ;) So why do you think that all of my shows from between 2007 and 2013 (that had the encoder 1.1.1 and 1.1.2) ...

Probably not. The damage that you describe sounds like it is fatal.
What went wrong? Did the recording sound OK while it was still in Audacity? If so, did you save the project?

Re: How can one use scripting or an API to automate Audacity

There are several options. The simplest, but more limited, is to use "Chains": http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/chains_for_batch_processing_and_effects_automation.html The most powerful, but most complicated and currently classed as "experimental" (with possible security conc...

Re: Feature request: Moving tracks

Agreed, but in that case how about CTRL + drag to move all selected tracks. I'm not keen - it's becoming "logically messy". There is no logical or intuitive clarity about what should happen if, as in the example I gave, track 2 and 3 are selected and track 1 (not selected) is being dragge...

Re: Blank spots recording Skype

I am not totally convinced by that, or we would hear much more about dropouts when using Audacity to record Skype. It probably depends on how we are imagining the "blank spots" that Enver is talking about. None of us other than Enver have actually heard these "blank spots". When...

Re: Cannot export files in FLAC

FLAC is awesome. It would be great if MS would start supporting it in WMP. The Microsoft position has remained the same for years and years (10+), which is essentially: "The Flac extension is not a supported file type of Windows Media Player. You may however user your favorite search engine to...

Re: Missing Audio Data

So should I just create a new folder, with any old name, and place the .aup and _datafolder for project 1 within it? The _data folder name must match the contents of the .AUP file that it belongs with. Here is a short example of part of an AUP file (test-project-001,aup) <?xml version="1.0&quo...

Re: Feature request: Moving tracks

Also note that moving the single focused track (the one with the yellow border) can be achieved now with a pair of keyboard shortcuts: SHIFT + M then U to move up one track, or SHIFT + M then D to move down one track. Or with the Menu key (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key) rather than Shift+M ...

Re: Feature request: Moving tracks

However if we were to do that I think we should also allow mouse drag of selected multiple tracks up and down. That might be useful, but it's a bit confused/confusing. When dragging tracks with the mouse, it is the track information panel that needs to be dragged, which is a completely different in...

Re: ReplayGain

the obvious question that strikes me is why the plug-in doesn't run through the tracks in turn and perform the amplification itself. In the current implementation of Nyquist in Audacity, there is no difference between "white space" (no audio) and silence (zero amplitude audio). If you sel...
