Audacity Forum

Again, in Windows XP, Audacity works flawlessly. Absolutely. On most XP machines recording either directly from a mic/line input or recording from Stereo Mix is usually dead easy and very reliable. There are hundreds of complaints on the forum that say words to the effect of "I updated Audacit...

I'm not sure exactly what you are doing, which options you are selecting.
When you select "Apply Chain" are you then clicking on "Apply to Files"?

or add a second hard drive in the computer if space and slots allow. To clarify: External USB hard drives are not recommended for directly recording onto because they are likely to have trouble keeping up with the constant stream of data, but they can be an inexpensive and very useful solution for ...

Personally I do not think we want to get into telling people how to back up files on their OS. I agree. I think that an article (wherever it ends up) should just deal with the various backup strategies that are relevant to working with Audacity. Quite often I'll not bother with Audacity backups at ...

Question: Is there any easier or faster way known how to get a frequency-dependent tapped delay? Not that I know of - that's basically the same method that I have used. Once some late reverb has been added a reasonably good reverb can be achieved with surprising few early reflections and the number...

My thoughts are if an application doesn't see a mic then they shouldn't be communicating the sound driver to change any settings...

I can't comment on Suse as I've not used it in a long time so I'm unfamiliar with how they do things. On Mint, recording something that is plugged into your sound card should be straightforward. Right click on the loudspeaker icon and select "Sound Preferences" to adjust any settings. For ...

Can this be done via a chain command? I have looked into both 2.0 and audacity-1.3.14-unicode-alpha_ffmpeg_uncompressed_export_chains but apparently there's no command for this. Currently no, though if you build Audacity from the source code then there is a patch available (I'll look for the link i...

Having used all versions of Audacity on XP since 1.2.4 I'm surprised that you find Audacity 2.0 to be noticeably slower than previous 1.3.x beta versions. (I agree that 1.3.x/2.x are heavier than the 1.2.x series, though the 1.3.x/2.x versions have more and better features.) Audacity 1.3.x back as f...
