Re: Behringer Mixer and Audio Interface with Audac

Re: Jaunty vs. 1.3.8 nobody winning

According to this page Ubuntu 9.04 is using Audacity 1.3.7 (or has it recently been updated?) "ALC 883" should be able to work with ALSA 1.0.14rc3 and later. Audacity 1.3.7 (Ubuntu build) with ALSA 1.0.18 worked pretty well on my machine, but you will get all sorts of trouble if there are ...

Re: Split Off Meters...*Really* Split

I can't get more than one analysis, tho. How are you doing that? I'm only opening one Frequency Analysis window, but I'm using the "Replot" button so that it changes from the plot of the first sample, to the plot of the second. The "Replot" button is pretty new - perhaps version...
