Audacity Forum

An example of the futility of Polls in the ordinary forums: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=58403 Running for over six months and only 4 people have voted, which is hardly surprising given that it is now hidden below thousands of other posts. Personally I feel that user feedba...

I suggest that we have a "Poll" section in the forum so that when feedback is wanted in support or against a proposed feature users can easily find the poll and vote. For example, do users want an option in the export dialogue for "Apply Dither on Export: Yes/No/Don't Know/Other"...

If you set Audacity to record from the stereo mix option (using the Device Toolbar) then Audacity will hear whatever is playing through your sound card.

I would have expected rounding to the nearest 24 bit integer value, but I don't think that it matters which kind of rounding is used. I think that you get the same amount of qua...

Which version of Windows?
Does your computer support "Stereo Mix" recoding?

"Clipping" is often a show stopper. If the audio is "clipped" (tops and bottoms of the waveform are chopped off) then there is no software that can accurately predict what audio was there before it was chopped off. The solution to clipping is to record at a level where it does no...
