Re: Audacity could be more helpful when paused ...

That's one reason so many people get lost when they encounter our weird and missing tools. I don't think that I've rocked an audio tape forward and back in the last 15 years. Mostly what I do these days is "point and press B". The "C" key shortcut is a good one - never had anyth...

Re: Silence rajouté après export génant

Sorry, I do not speak French. It is a limitation of the MP3 format that there is always a little leading silence. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/MP3#Limitations For looping without a gap you need to use a different format such as WAV or OGG. (Google Translate:) Désolé, je ne parle pas français. I...

Re: How to increase FFT resolution?

But if it's logged on Bugzilla it already has focus to avoid it being forgotten. Unfortunately none of the developers seems to be interested in this enhancement. If it had a bunch of votes requesting it, then that provides a bit of leverage for requesting developer attention. The wiki provides evid...

Re: Audacity could be more helpful when paused ...

It's even worse if you try to use keyboard shortcuts for stuff while inadvertently paused - as then you get no graying-out visual cue - Audacity just sits there and dumbly does nothing - no error message, no beep, nothing. I think that it would be useful to give a system beep for all invalid keyboa...

You get that error from what program?
Why are you trying to open a file that is in the Windows TEMP directory?

Re: Old Turntable Suddenly Won't Record Into Audacity

Could you post a short sample, just a couple of seconds in WAV format, to illustrate the problem.

Re: Best way to Amplify and then Normalize all my MP3 Playli

Audacity does not support ReplayGain (or Sound Check). The closest thing that it has is an experimental plug-in that attempts to adjust the volume of the selected tracks so that they sound about the same loudness. The algorithm that this plug-in uses is based on ReplayGain, but unlike ReplayGain it ...

Re: Best way to Amplify and then Normalize all my MP3 Playli

Some sounds can have a high peak "amplitude" (vertical height of the peaks) but not sound particularly loud, while on the other hand, some sounds can have a much lower peak amplitude but sound much louder. Both Sound Check and ReplayGain purposefully set the playback level to a moderate am...
