Re: Render effects to a separate track than original?

There is an example of that type of editing here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/GVerb ... x_together

A couple of shortcuts that you may find useful:
Mix to new track: Ctrl+Shift+M
Duplicate track/selection: Ctrl+D

Re: Audacity crashes when importing raw data

It does not crash on my machine.
What settings are you using for Raw Data Import?

Re: How to layer vocals from one song over audio from anothe

Windows does not know what a .ny file is (it's just a text file containing instructions for "Nyquist" - "Nyquist" is a computer language that is built into Audacity). Instructions for installing Nyquist plug-ins are here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug-in...

Re: Tempo Changes Don't Stick

Audacity does not "Save" audio files. The "Save" command (File menu > Save) saves an Audacity Project. Apply the effect in Audacity. Play the track to ensure that it sounds like you want it to, then "Export" (File menu > Export) to create a new audio file. The new (expo...

Re: au files format specification

I hope in a future to have all processing done inside Audacity, but for the time being, some processing must be done using specific software such as Matlab, Scilab or Octave.
