Re: Exported WAV files can't be silenced

Usually silenced audio is silenced audio. That's one of the perils of using the beta, perhaps No, Audacity 1.2 does the same. If your tracks are at a reasonably high level then the noise should be at an extremely low level. If the noise is a noticeable distraction then the overall level of the trac...

Re: Flipping stereo channels?

The explanation doesn't allow for mistakes, like what happens in a mono show with an expected mono export if you touch the pan controls by accident? Does it even tell you the show is now in stereo? Has there ever been a feature request for a "Mono/Stereo" option in the Export dialogue? Ge...
