So now I'm just listening (going by ear) That is the ultimate test. The whole point of music recording is how it sounds .

I wanted to add noise to a track, so I mounted the music track as the top track and selected Generate > Noise expecting a second track with the noise in it. Of all t...

I managed to recover at least some of the .au files, I noticed that some of the files are MASSIVE (one is 3GB, one is 26 ! GB) :? The .au files should be 1 MB with a few .au files smaller than that. The limiting factor of that plug-in is that the data needs to be loaded into RAM so, for example, to...

Use the standard (PulseAudio) sound system, or use plain old ALSA and enable "Software Playthrough" (Transport menu).
