Re: Windows 7 OS

In addition to the advice given by ragnar.jensen,
Once an Audacity Project has been saved, all further temporary files will be saved in the Project _data folder.
If you're unsure what a "Project _data folder" is, see here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects

Re: Monitoring keyboard input

That depends on what hardware and what operating system you are using.
To be able to hear other tracks while recording a new one, enable "overdub" in the Transport menu.

Re: Chorus and Reverb Effects

And why are such basic effects not included in the listed Effects ? Some users complain that there are already too many effects, without adding even more. (You can't please all the people all the time). If you use Windows, there is a good, free VST reverb by Anwida called DX Reverb Light: http://ww...

Re: Fully explaining effects controls

If you have the manual installed (Help menu), try looking up "Effect Menu". The relevant page in the on-line manual is here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Effect_Menu#List_of_Built-in_Effects (the on-line manual may be slightly different to your installed version as it refers to the v...

Re: Clip Fix plugin- way to fix clipping, do a subtler effec

I do still wonder about options to either restrict the range of values the Clip Fix plugin can use in its interpolation or introduce some kind of amplitude weighting in the process of choosing an "optimal" interpolation. If I weren't already so behind in stuff I need to get done I'd pull ...

Re: Peak Limiter / Expander

Here is the new "Broadcast Limiter IV" using the Nyquist "shape" function. Funny: the audio processing is done in *one* single Nyquist function. The "shape" part is based on Roger's Distortion Tutorial . The explanation of the "knee" math in the "coord&q...

Re: Recording 10 hours

So I open the aup file from the previous day,then press shift+R.? How would that enable me to continue my recording? Have you tried it? Are you using the current 1.3.14 version of Audacity? shift+R (recent versions of Audacity 1.3.x only) is the command for "Append Record" (Append Record ...

WAV files are limited to a maximum size of 4 GB on most machines, 2 GB on some older machines. (This is not an Audacity limitation, it ...
