The HP and LP filters are only 6 dB/octave, hence repeating them a few times. The reason for not using (for example) LOWPASS4 is that for HP and LP the corner frequency may be a sound whereas for the others it can only be a number. Do you think that will be much improved over either smoothing alone?...

Noise Removal is probably best for reducing FM hiss, but I'd not attempt to eliminate the hiss altogether, just reduce is a bit and preserve as much sound quality as possible. With a good FM antenna I'd expect you to end up with something sounding a lot more pleasing than 128 kbps dab radio, even if...

Audacity does not play nice with my built-in soundcard and WiFi anyway, so I've had to create a batch script to kill them before I launch it. Does the same thing for Sonar on this thing too. I think it's best practice anyway to have the soundcard you are not using to be killed. I think it would (te...

I still do not understand how lp does the work. Is frq-env varying the cutoff frequency during the short selection? Why is that useful? Lets say that you've got the detection analysis working perfectly and it returns a list of "click" times as number pairs - the first number is the time o...

Have a look in "Edit > Preferences > Directories".
Ensure that Audacity's "temp" folder is in a location that is writeable and has plenty of free space.

Audacity works with Windows 8.
What are you trying to record?

Do you still have the Audacity Project that this MP3 came from? If so, does it play correctly?

I haven't looked at the code but looking at it live in a file manager, it looks like when you overwrite an MP3, it renames the original file immediately by appending "0" to the file name, then commences writing the MP3 with the original name, then deletes the original MP3 that had "0...

You start to record a track and play a huge clam right at the start. Is there a one button way to erase that attempt and start recording again. There's a two click way: 1) Ctrl+Z (undo) 2) R (record) If you want to append the recording to the end of an existing track: Shift+R (or select "Appen...
