Re: audiofiles

Audacity works in its own "project" format. Audacity projects have a "project file" and a "_data" folder. Both parts are essential to an Audacity project. Audacity projects are not compatible with any other program, they work only with Audacity. To make an audio file th...

Re: Automatic removal of mouth smacks, again

It still doesn't sound very good. Perhaps there is no really good fix for the case of bad editing that does not delete samples. As you say, I think that is as good as it gets. But "Repair" fixes your first example of the seven sample glitch very well, and my detection procedures combined ...

Re: using two copies of Audacity simultaneously

It is correct that only one processor is in play Only one processor at a time . On my machine I can observe the load switching between processors so as to spread the load and minimise heating of the processor core. Whether or not it is running "flat out" depends on the rest of the system ...
