Hi Quentin, You may be interested in the proposals for menu reorganisation that are discussed here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_Menu_Reorganisation as these proposals may impact on the new features that you are proposing. Also, if you are considering a "right click" context ...

If you are recording using both of the inputs on the Fast Track you will need to set the "Input Channels" to "2 (stereo)" in the Device Toolbar.

I downloaded 1.3.1.4 When I open it, I get a lot of white noise from the program (even if the usb is not connected). What do you mean? Opening Audacity should present you with a new Audacity Project window with no tracks in it, and that's all. Do you mean that you are getting noise out from your sp...

Strictly speaking, the cutoff frequency defines a corner frequency at a lower amplitude than the unmodified audio, so there is also a decreasing amount of attenuation at frequencies just above the cutoff. This makes a smoother transition at the cutoff frequency. I think that tends to imply that the...

On a system that is fully operational, there is a pull down menu near the mic symbol at the top of the screen. If it looks similar to this: http://manual.audacityteam.org/m/images/a/aa/DeviceToolbarWin7Basic.png that is the "Device Toolbar". It has 5 entries, one of which in "Line In...
