The "recently opened files" list is just a list - any files listed there will be replaced as you open new files. You don't need to manually remove them.

# If a sample is before the "cut-off point" at the start of a time selection, it is not included in the selection. # If a sample is exactly on, or after the "cut-off point" at the start of a time selection, it is within the selection. # If a sample is before the "cut-off po...

How is a label boundary time quantized into a cutoff point In Nyquist, assuming that you are using floats and not integers, label positions are calculated to 32 bit float accuracy (single precision). In Audacity label positions are calculated to at least double precision (possibly greater). The &qu...

If possible, ensure that the start and end of the selection are at moments of silence (or near silence). Because the audio is being stretched the stretched waveform is unlikely to match up exactly with the original waveform, and thus cause a click. Note also that the "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch...

I can't cut the unwanted part off as the scissors and the "cut" option under "remove audio labels" are both greyed out. Playback must be stopped (not playing, recording or paused). I saved it as a WAV file using the import button as suggested I don't think anyone suggested that....

Note that the Import Raw settings are not saved, so even if you have just imported a raw 32 bit float file, the next time you go to import a raw file the sample format setting will probably be wrong and you will need to manually re-set them. I've just tried a RAW file: 1.5 million sample 48 kHz mono...

and possibly "Split Labels"? I don't know what would be useful there that wouldn't be better done manually. How do you currently split a label (manually or otherwise). For example, if I have labelled a region and then decide that it really needs to be 2 or 3 consecutive labels, how do I s...

You mean, a checkbox that when enabled, over-rides the High-Quality dither Preference being "on"? No, I mean (as discussed on -devel) that processed audio is always returned to tracks in 32 bit float format (so as to avoid needless and possibly damaging format conversions), and that dithe...

which region of time is really selected? The label selection is a selection of "time". The audio track selection is a selection of "samples". The way that digital audio works is to "quantize" time into sample periods. You can't have "half a sample", so durati...

So, to preserve the original sound, if I want to, for example, reduce bass in a 16 bit track... I should import it as 32 bit, do the edit, and export without dither? To summarise Robert's reply and reiterate my previous reply: Reducing the bass requires "filtering" which is a "proces...
