1. The ".AUP" (Audacity Project) file.
2. The "_data" folder (contains all of the audio data for the project)

Both parts are essential (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/aud ... s.html#AUP)

I've logged this in the Mixer Board section:

• Show post-envelope level (option): Allow the Mixer Board to show the actual level in the project when envelopes are present.

and for the default 32-bit float format, much, much, much less likely.

Also, if you zoom in vertically as far as possible, in most cases you will be able to see that samples are not "exactly" zero.

It occurs in every "normal" song many times. Not "exactly" zero. For simplicity, try this code on a mono track. It adds a label each time a sample is exactly zero. (setf labels ()) (do ((val (snd-fetch *track*) (snd-fetch *track*)) (count 0 (1+ count))) ((not val) labels) (when ...

I can drag in another track while Audacity is playing - and it takes the same time as when Audacity is not playing Same here with my usual computer. However, I can reproduce the issue on a seriously under-powered PC with Windows 10. @feik What are your computer specs? In particular, the CPU and RAM...

Sorry if this is not the correct place, I know it's called Adding Features, but I followed the link from https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs and it leads here. Thanks for that info. I've updated the link on the wiki as it should point to "Audacity 2.x Feedback and Reviews". ...
