The exact same recording can have a noise floor too low (-200 db) and another section (taken a second earlier or later, with no changes to literally anything) can pass within range. How is that possible? The ACX Check plug-in looks for the quietest half second in the selection. This is an average m...

The problem appears to be that Debian provides the Audacity build for Debian, Ubuntu and Mint, but their version of the SBSMS library is too old, and the "official" upstream source code was never updated to the current version. I'm not sure if we can do anything about this, but I'm making ...

I was trying to record a cover of ABBA Medley 2017 by De Toppers, but after finishing recording the cover, I played it back to see if it was decent enough to save to mp3, but my singing was slightly off-sync with the custom backing track I was using, How were you doing that? Did you import the back...

other times the noise floor will be "too low" -inf dB Warning (too low - Dead silence sounds unnatural.) That means that there is some "absolute silence" in the audio that you are analyzing. "Absolute silence" meaning "total" silence, no sound at all. The lea...

but it works fine for me, and for all of the Audacity developers, built from source code, which strongly suggests that the problem is not the Audacity source code.

So whatever happened in version 2.4.2 is most likely a bug.

As I wrote earlier, SBSMS has been disabled by the packager.
It says so in "Help menu > About Audacity > Build Information".

For example, suppose a track is 5 min long. While I edit and delete fractions in 0-2min section of the track, can I freeze the rest section of the track in 2-5min? So no matter how much I delete from 0-2min, the rest section will not move and remain in the same place in 2-5min. 1. "Tracks menu...

I have the same problem and tried everything I knew to try. Seeing the comment above, I went to my Mac privacy settings. I clicked on the microphone and Audacity is already on for using the mike. Any other suggestions? Check the USB lead for damage. Check that the USB lead is securely connected at ...

Unfortunately it appears that the packagers have disabled SBSMS, which is the time stretch library used by Sliding Stretch. This also means that the high quality settings in "Change Pitch" and "Change Tempo" are also unavailable. I don't know why they have done that. Probably the...

When exporting, the sample rate is set by the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacity interface).
The "Mix and Render" commands also use the "Project Rate".

The "SetProject:" macro command allows you to change the Project Rate.
