Audacity Forum

I am reluctant to use a "beta" version. (Doesn't that mean it's still being developed, and therefore not stable? Hi Ray, In most cases that would be quite correct, but Audacity is an exception to the rule. The 1.2.x series is very old and has not been updated or maintained in years. If yo...

Let's see what happens in PulseAudio when you're running Audacity with Jack. Start Jack, Open Audacity and set the host to "Jack Audio System", recording input as "system" and playback output as "system". Start Audacity recording (you can pause the recording if you wish...

Is there a better way to edit so as to preserve as much quality as possible? Like say, if I convert the AC3 to something like an AIFF, make the edits, then export that as an AC3? I assume that there is no way to make simple cuts without recompressing, but is there one way that's better than the oth...
