Re: Editing problem

Toward the bottom of the Audacity window there's a tick box "Snap To"
Switch it off.

Re: Burning CDs

I would also highly recommend that you Export from Audacity in WAV format (16 bit Microsoft PCM WAV) and not as MP3.
Compressing audio into MP3 format reduces the sound quality (permanently). 16 bit PCM WAV format is handled natively by all known CD writing programs.

Re: ver 1.2.6 meter bar

See here for how to reset Audacity Preferences http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audacity_Preferences (for Audacity 1.2.x it is highly recommended to use the "safe" method). Having said that, my advice would be to ignore Audacity 1.2.6 and stick with Audacity 1.3.12 as the new version is v...

Perdón por el lenguaje pobre, yo no hablo español, pero sí sé de Nyquist.

Re: Organising VST Plugins?

1. Is it possible to instruct Audacity to ignore specific VST plugins or VST plugin folders? I don't think it is, but I agree that it would be a good idea. Perhaps you would like to suggest it on the "Adding Features" part of the forum: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=20 The...

Re: Crash Recovery - files all messed up

It is likely to be far less time consuming to start again.
Before you do, I'd highly recommend upgrading to Audacity 1.3.12. Most users find it to be less prone to crashing than the old 1.2.6 version, and in the unlikely event of a crash it can usually recover the project automatically.

Re: Recording BBC Radio programmes

I'm getting a flat "waveform" display when I try to record a programme. What problem does that indicate please?" It indicates that nothing, or almost nothing is being recorded. The difference between "nothing" and "almost nothing" is significant. Make one of these...
