Re: Audacity 2.3.3 Fedora 32 startup hang

solved with : gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility --type bool false I'm glad to hear that this workaround still works, though the explanation given in https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=314959#p314959 is incorrect. "Gnome2 accessibility is enabled and this requ...

Re: Audacity Freezing randomly during record but not the program

Which version of Audacity are you using? (Look in "Help menu > About Audacity")

Re: Understanding Waveform and Loudness

Can you guys up that to say 4-5MB? (Which is pretty tiny in 2020...) It's not tiny when you have thousands of files, thousands of visitors, and you pay for the bandwidth. Audacity is not a business - the software, support, documentation and websites are all provided free of charge (many thanks to t...

Re: Understanding Waveform and Loudness

What is the file limitation size? Mostly 2 MB, though it may be 1 MB in a few cases. I have 4.6MB and 8.6MB files that I wanted to share here... You could use a file sharing site such as dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, SendSpace or similar, and post a link to the file. If you do that, ensure that...

Re: Import MKA and export also MKA

If I would import MKA file and export in other format, what is the best format to export ? For best sound quality, export as WAV. If you need a smaller file and are happy to compromise on sound quality, then you could use MP3 or OGG. Or how can I find out know in which format was the original audio...

Re: Song automation

For this group project, we have to create our own cheap instruments and record a song (specifically Ode to Joy in this case). You can do it manually with Audacity, but it's a bit long-winded. This page shows the MIDI note number for each note of a the usual "diatonic" scale: https://compu...

Re: Audacity recording over itself?

I hope your road trip went well. (It is *ridiculous* to need 3 laptops to do the job that ONE should be able to do!!!) I suspect that Apple make it intentionally difficult as they also own the largest music store in the world. It makes more business sense for them to sell music through iTunes store ...

Re: Removing crackles in recordings

So why does 20ms seem to work but 100ms does not work? I don't know. It's one of the mysteries of macOS. We know that on macOS a smaller buffer size often helps , but personally I don't know why that is. My "educated guess" is that it is some sort of synchronization problem, but I'm not a...

Re: Increasing drag-scroll speed

Zoom out, drag to roughly the right place, then zoom in on the end and adjust the selection ("Shift + click and drag" to grab the end of the selection). I prefer to use "Ctrl + Mousewheel" to zoom, but there are several options: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/zooming.html If...

Re: Import MKA and export also MKA

An MKA file is a audio file saved in the Matroska multimedia container format. It supports several types of audio compression algorithms, including MP3, AAC, and Vorbis. MKA files are typically used for storing voice recordings and songs. To export as MKA, use the "Custom FFmpeg Export" an...
