Please be more precise. I'm trying to reproduce your setup.
The recommended way to install the latest stable version of Cmake is to download and run the cmake ".sh" file, but that's only available for 64-bit OS, so I'm not clear how you installed Cmake.

Re: Move Focus to Last Macro step doesn't seem to work

Re: How to convert MP3 / AAC to FLAC with quality increase?

you can't increase audio quality by converting them to flac, I think it will somewhat damage the quality It's true that you can't improve the quality by converting to another format, but FLAC is a lossless format, so it will not damage the quality.

Is it possible to send a signal to the headphones of the singer/voice actor, and at the same time not send that signal to my headphones or my speakers? Audacity can only play to one audio device at a time. You would need to use a mixing desk that is capable of routing different mixes to two separat...

Re: Import MP3 files - Audacity adding -time to beginning

Perhaps you have accidentally enabled "pinned playhead". If you see a green "thumbtack" at the left end of the time ruler, click on it so that it turns into a green triangle. If that's it, then you can read more about it here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/timeline.html#pin...
