Some of the users you are thinking of probably want beat matching and quantizing as well A lot of our existing users want beat detection and more convenient time stretching. I don't think the Timeline could display bars and beats by default. It would confuse grandma recording her cassettes. No prob...

I'd highly recommend using a text editor that has parentheses matching, then you won't need to count the parentheses "( )" or leave them trailing in mid air. If you're on Windows I'd recommend NotePad++ (free). It also has Syntax highlighting for Lisp, which is close enough to Nyquist to b...

You would be surprised how many of our users would never use an option for the timeline to display bars and beats. The flip side is that we will rarely see users for whom bars and beats are a fundamental part of their working process. They are simply pushed away to other software due to the absence...

First thing is to ensure that you are using the current 2.0.5 version of Audacity. Look in "Help > About Audacity" to confirm the version number. The current version of Audacity is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ This type of error is pretty rare in Audacity 2.0.5, so if ...

It probably depends which distro you use. On Debian based distros the steps 1 to 8 described here should usually work without additional options or configurations: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CompilingAudacityForBeginners#Example_compiling_the_latest_Audacity_source_code_on_Ubuntu_and_derivati...

if I record the way mentioned above, stop and record another drum track and I want to merge the 2 drum tracks, can I do that without messing up the quality? As with anything, getting good at editing and mixing takes practice. Yes it is possible to add, mix, merge, mutate or otherwise combine multip...

would it be okay to apply dither to the entire track I want to fix the fade-out to? Absolutely, but only apply dither once. By default Audacity applies dither when exporting to 16 or 24 bit format, so you do not need to manually apply dither ever. Would it be very noticeable? Not noticeable at. If ...

As the dynamic range of the files is very high not even with 24 bits PCM I can get the exact similitude. Ogg format cannot be converted directly to 32 bit float format. SoX (or any other transcoder) can only decode to 8 or 16 bit, then convert that to 32 bit float. In the case of SoX this can be ac...
