Re: how to use Truncate Silence

I'm not sure exactly what you are wanting to do, but it sounds like "Chains" could be useful.

Re: Why re-compress unchanged audio tracks

Arguably, "save compressed copy of project" is a misnomer, since the original .aup file is overwritten I think there should be a warning if overwriting an existing project with a compressed copy. Perhaps this could include a reminder that overwriting a compressed project will re-compress ...

Re: Why re-compress unchanged audio tracks

I believe that there's an option not to save that into the project data right? Like when I open the project it will load that track from the wav file, not from audacity project. Am I correct on this? Yes. There is an option in "Edit menu > Preferences > Import/Export" >>> "Read uncom...

Re: Music Display Colours

It means that your recording level is too high. Audacity 1.2.x did not have this feature to show clipping, it is only available in Audacity 1.3.x It will probably sound like the loudest parts of the recording are distorted. A small amount of clipping distortion may not be very noticeable, particular...

Re: Potential bug: Instability when recording streamed media

sometimes when the recording has finished I'll find that the first and/or last 20 minutes or so has dropped off the recording. What do you mean "dropped off"? do you mean that the last 20 minutes or so is silent? Is this an unattended recording? Are you sure that when this problem occurs ...

Re: Not recording frequencies above 6Khz.

"Edit menu > Preferences > Quality tab"
What is the default Sample rate set at?

How is the Røde Videomic connected to your computer?

Re: Recordings from computer speaker are now very distorted

Plug your Line 6 device into the computer and allow a few moments for Windows to recognise it before you start Audacity. Then start Audacity and go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices" Set the Recording device to the USB option. Do you understand these instructions? Does this fix the pro...

Re: Why re-compress unchanged audio tracks

what I'm saying is that if a track's audio data has not been altered and the original source for this session was a Compressed Audacity Project, it should not update the .ogg file for that track. How would Audacity know if the track had been altered? The source file itself is not being used by Auda...

Re: Noise Removal enhancement

I don't know what it's called, but it looks like a rack of small wind chimes. They're just called "chimes". What would have simplified this process is a "noise floor margin" control that adjusts how far above the noise floor a sound has to be to qualify as signal. This is essent...
