Re: Replacing Audio Clip without knowing length

I want the top note exactly where it is, but duplicated in the bottom track. If you want to paste at exactly the same time position in another track: Select the part to copy "Ctrl+C" (copy) "Enter" (toggle the track selection) - now "not selected". Cursor up/down keys ...

Re: Replacing Audio Clip without knowing length

I can see that the selection is .249 secs long and where it ends (I'd rather see where it begins, but that's another issue.) If you click on "Length and End of selection:", you will see that it is a dropdown menu with the options: Start and End of selection: the start time and the end tim...

Audacity has two effects for crossfading. " Crossfade Tracks " is best when creating medium to long crossfades between tracks. It offers a choice of three different fade "shapes". The two audio clips being crossfaded must be on separate tracks. " Crossfade Clips " is be...

Re: Spectrograph and finding peaks

In Audacity it is called "Track Spectrogram view": https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spe ... _view.html

Note that you can drag the bottom edge of the track down to make the track taller.

Re: Audacity 2.4.2 stops playing an MP3 import

Given that Audacity works with 32-bit uncompressed audio, importing an 8 MB MP3 file may expand to over 150 MB of audio data.

Re: I can not install version 2.4.2.

I'd expect most, if not all plug-ins that work with Audacity 2.2.1, to also work with Audacity 2.4.2. Also, some plug-ins that didn't work with 2.2.1 now work with 2.4.2. Cmake 3.10 is too old for building Audacity, but fortunately it's reasonably easy to install the latest version. I've posted step...

If I can get this new version of Audacity working, can I drop most of my old plug in's back?
Which version of Audacity do you currently use? Audacity 2.2.1?
