Both of the features that you mention have been completely reworked and in my opinion work much better in the 1.3.12 version.

Yes you can delete it, but to be on the (slightly paranoid) safe side, delete it to the Recycle Bin (trash), then check that everything works and you have not deleted anything that you still need.

Unless you may be burning the recordings to DVD at some point in the future I don't think there is any benefit in recording at 48 kHz. As you say, the audio CD standard is 44.1 kHz, and although 48 kHz can provide slightly better high frequency response, there are also small losses in converting fro...

Audacity does not "Save" audio files. To create a normal audio file you must "Export".

File menu > Export > Audio.

Lame is not used for exporting WAV files, it is only used for exporting in MP3 format.

There have been a great number of enhancements and new features in Audacity 1.3.12. There will be no updates to Audacity 1.2.6 as this was the final version in the 1.2.x series and all development on 1.2.x ended some years ago. You can have Audacity 1.3.12 and 1.2.6 installed at the same time, which...

Updated version of Repair Channel plug-in. Bug fixes in this version: Changed envelope sample rate to avoid possible clicks at end of selection. Add checking for low sample rate and invalid fade time. Other changes: Header updated to conform to preferred conventions . Stereo Simulation given its own...

That video is about live mixing. For live mixing you need to connect your sound sources to the mixer inputs. In the video they are using 2 record decks as the sound sources, though you could be using CD players, iPods, cassette decks, microphones or any other sound sources. The mix is then adjusted ...
