Re: Macro issues in version 2.4...

As mafg1953's link indicates, it's not really a "bug", but rather a "missing feature" which has now been added for the next Audacity release. As a workaround, I wrote a little plug-in called "Select Focused Track". See: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=403...

Re: how to 'play'...

Every time I pause (with the space bar) The space bar is "Stop", not "Pause". For "Pause", use the "P" key. Alternatively, to "Stop" and move the play position to the point where you stopped, press the "X" key. (Easily remembered from the ...

Re: Could you please help me reverse the volume?

I mean literally making the loudest sound quietest, and no sound maximum volume. This plug-in does something like that: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=335940#p335940 though I've no idea how silence can become "maximum volume". What does that even mean? You want to replace ...

Re: MP3 Decoding Error

The rumor is... There will be another change in the next version... Probably a warning and an option to ignore the error. In the next version, real "errors" in the MP3 file will still cause the file to be rejected, but minor issues (deviations from the original MP3 specifications) such as...

Re: i NEED HELP DECIPHERING THIS!!!

Ensure that the file "2019_11_04_08_42_37456545465.aup" is also in Documents, then from Audacity:
"File menu > Open"
and select the "2019_11_04_08_42_37456545465.aup" file.

What happens?

Re: Just updated Audacity to latest version now no audio devices found

Do you think it's voice meeter that's causing the problem? It could be. I'm not very familiar with VoiceMeeter (I rarely use Windows), but it's a complex piece of software that integrates tightly into the sound system - if it isn't configured or working correctly, then it could certainly interfere ...

How do I have a track record for a specific duration?
1. Start the recording
2. After the specified time, send the "Stop:" command.
