You can set up a keyboard shortcut for "Export". The file type will be set to whatever you used last.

I think this wouldn't be an issue if Audacity would support for ASIO (AFAIK, it does not). BTW, why not? ... it's shouldn't be hard to implement. ASIO can be implemented in Audacity, but unfortunately ASIO is owned by Steinberg and can not be legally distributed with Audacity. If you want ASIO in A...

I think it was Audacity 1.3.6 that had a highly tree'd menu and it was the biggest pain in the neck. Noise Reduction is a very try and change settings and try again type of tool and it was three layers down in the tree. Everybody universally hated it. Not quite everybody.

It's for Audacity 1.2.x

Support for modern hardware is getting a bit patchy in Audacity 1.2 as it is now rather old. Try updating to Audacity 1.3.8 and see if that solves the problem.

The problem for me is saving in the same folder, not a new folder. For issues with Audacity 1.2, please post in the Audacity 1.2.x part of the forum. There are major differences between Audacity 1.2 and 1.3, so even if the symptoms of a problem look similar, the cause and solution may be very diffe...
