One other change that I have made is to prevent labels extending before the start of the selection. If the label placement is before the start of the sound then labels may (in the current Audacity version) extend back into "negative time" (before zero) which I don't think is a good behavio...

I agree with what I take as your comment here that we don't need two Sound Finders. I have never liked the similarity of Silence Finder and Sound Finder, and suspect that few novices use Sound Finder given most documentation bundled with turntables and cassette decks will only mention Silence Finde...

When there is a long trailing silence, SilenceFinder adds a label after the final sound. The position of this final label looks odd to me as all of the other labels are relative to the end of the silence, but this one is relative to the beginning of the silence :? Is that label really required or co...

Please vote for all the proposed enhancements that you are in agreement with. If you disagree with any of the proposed points, please say why. Ultimately I'd like to propose removing one of these effects and replacing it with a more advanced sound finder but this poll is specifically about improving...

Thanks for the comprehensive feedback Gale. It'll take me a little while to work through all of the points. Regarding wording in the GUI I think that a lot of the problems come from trying to help the user (perhaps too much sometimes). I'm looking at my amplifier and it has a control for "Incre...

The general advice for using external interfaces with Audacity is to ensure that the device is connected to the computer and recognised by Windows before you open Audacity.

Multiple (sequential) labels can be removed from the label track by selecting the labels (in the label track) and using "Split Delete" -
"Edit menu > Remove Audio > Split Delete" (shortcut Ctrl+Alt+K)

The "Change Tempo" effect in Audacity uses SoundTouch Audio Processing Library . The SoundTouch code in Audacity can be found in /lib-src/soundtouch/ (which I believe is implemented in C+, but I'm not a programmer). All of the code in Audacity is open source. Audacity is licensed under GPL...
