Apparently, the forum software has been updated again, so now in August 2020 the profile option to change the operating system no longer exists (or at least I can't find it following the Username -> Profile menu).

Is there some other way to accomplish this? Thanks.
What is your main OS?

Re: Ability to assign multiple hotkeys / key bindings to a command

You could do that by creating a Macro for each command that you want duplicate shortcuts for.

Example:

Command: "Select All" - shortcut: "Ctrl + A"

Macro: Name = "Select All macro" - Command: "SelectAll:" - Shortcut: "NUMPAD_END"

Re: Audition Plugins Port

Audacity does not (yet) have a multi-band compressor. You could perhaps try the "Calf" plug-ins, though it's a bit hit and miss regarding compatible versions. If you can't get the Calf plug-ins to work, search Google for an alternative LV2 multi-band compressor. Audacity has various types ...

I'm having exactly the same issue. Apologies, I'm a complete novice. How do you reinstall Catalina?
Have you updated to Audacity 2.4.2 or are you still using an old version of Audacity?

Re: Can record one track - cannot record another one

Your setup does not want to record and play at the same time. This "may" be due to the Focustrite being fussy about the sample rate. To test this possibility: 1. Close and restart Audacity with a new, empty project. 2. Set the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacit...

Re: Hardware setup suggestions.

I would like to keep using what I have and purchase a behringer uphoria um2 to run between the mixer and the interface. Is that a workable setup for audacity? Yes that's workable. I use a similar system, but with a UCA-101 (a very old cut-down version of the UCA-202). If you've not bought the inter...

Re: What happened?

There was a problem with old versions of Audacity - there were so many keyboard shortcuts set by default that there were very few sensible key combinations left for user's custom shortcuts. In more recent versions of Audacity, the default set of shortcuts was reduced so that more key combinations wo...

Re: Tone: duration?

Example: Generate a 25 second tone:
  • NewMonoTrack:
  • SelectTime: Start=0 End=25
  • Tone:
You can find a list of commands here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/scr ... rence.html

For testing, I'd recommend using pipeclient.py from the command line.
