Audacity Forum

Shouldn't be too long. Don't hold your breath - the developers are perfectionists and we've been waiting years for the release of Audacity 2.0 meanwhile, Audacity 1.2.6 was abandoned years ago - it's ancient and has been unmaintained for years. Audacity 1.3.12 is a late beta release and works very ...

Audacity can only record from ONE device at a time. However, what you can do with Audacity is to record one part (say, guitar), then record another part (say, vocals) onto a new track while listening to the part(s) that are already recorded. This is called "Multi-track" recording (as oppos...

Good news Edgar.
The old step 1 was the problem.

Applying the NEW step 1 with steps 2 and 3 WORKS

I think Bill (billw58) and Bruno (bgravato) use Macs, but I don't know if either of them build on Macs. You could PM them and ask.

I'll also bring it to the attention of the developers as it looks like an issue that can be cleared very quickly. If you think that you might be fixing...

I've got a problem with this on Linux. I think I applied the changes correctly, then built against SVN HEAD 21Feb2011 It seems to build OK, but as soon as I click on the File menu, Audacity crashes with a segmentation fault. I like the idea a lot and would find it very useful. [Update: I've backed o...

P.S. Aha, so it IS a Safari problem. There's a whole discussion forum devoted to this specific problem So there is, and I've got an idea what the problem might be. Do you have a "Tag Editor" program for editing the id3 tags (metadata) in MP3 files? (You can do it in Audacity, but Audacity...

Edit menu > Preferences > Devices
Set the number of channels to "2 (stereo)"

The problem looks like it's related to the sound card or the sound card drivers rather than Audacity itself so I'm scratching my head about what we can do about the problem. Audacity 1.3.12 has a generally more robust way of interfacing with the sound card drivers, so there's a chance that upgrading...
