See here for instructions how to do that: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audacity_Preferences#Resetting_Preferences_to_defaults_2 If that does not help, could you describe exactly what is happening / not happening. At what point does it cras...

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

I've changed GUIPrefs.cpp lines 158 & 159:

Code: Select all

         fontSizeCtrlLocation.x = 425;
         fontSizeCtrlLocation.y += 260;

Quick test on Mac needed

Could someone test this plug-in on a Mac with Audacity 1.3.13 or later.
channel-mixer.ny

It has a long list of presets and I just need to know that the long menu is handled OK on a Mac.
The first in the list is "Use Custom" and the final one in the list is "M-S Encode".
Thanks

Re: 1.3.14

When you have installed it, launch Audacity and go to "Help menu > About Audacity". It should say "Audacity 1.3.14 beta (Unicode)".

Re: 24 bits truncated to 16 bits...

Export the source archival WAV with dithering turned off. Or as FLAC (with dither turned off) if you want to some disk space. The quality of FLAC is the same as WAV, just smaller files. You may want to test both Triangle and Shaped dither to see which you prefer - the difference is very subtle when...
