I guess I am dumb....but I can't see anywhere where it tells me how to find the preferences library?? I have been searching for it for 2 days now and I have even Googled it without any luck! I have searched in my settings and all throughout Audacity and my control panel. Check that you are actually...

The first thing is that a computer is not a ready-made recording studio. Handling multiple audio pathways in real time is demanding on hardware and Windows is very limited in this department without a lot of help from other software/hardware. The second thing is that those slick "off the cuff&q...

It looks like a pretty simple fix, but it is probably too late to be fixed in 2.0.5 which is due to be released in a matter of days. This issue has been present for at least 3 years, but this is the first time anyone has raised the issue, so I don't personally think it important enough to hold up th...

I know this can be a problem in school environments, but there are a number of problems that can occur when using a network drive to save Audacity projects. This is because Network drives are generally slower and less reliable than "local drives" (a hard drive in the computer being used) a...

@doug: a suggestion for the future - when you install a new version of Audacity don't accept the default letting it get installed over the existing installation, rather install it under a new name (I would suggest incorporating the version number).

Yes, it can be done quite easily using the "Nyquist Prompt" effect. Select the track that has the really low sound, then open the Nyquist Prompt, then copy/paste this code into the text box of the Nyquist Prompt: (defun AM (sig) (mult 0.5 (sum 1 sig)(hzosc 2000))) (multichan-expand #'am s)

If you insist on doing it manually, you're describing Effect > Leveler. No :o The "Leveller" is a "wave-shaping" effect. It shapes (distorts) the waveform and will ruin the sound quality. To reduce only the peaks that go outside of the +/- 0.5 range, the appropriate effect is a ...

By default Sonar will use ASIO drivers to connect to the sound card. ASIO drivers will grab exclusive control of the sound card, and when that happens Audacity will not be able to access the sound card, hence "Error while opening sound device". I can't get Audacity to play the pink noise w...
