Re: Audacity Crashes When I Hit Play Button

Oh and another thought - Audacity will run more efficiently if all of the tracks have the same sample rate as the Project sample rate. If you have any tracks that are at different sample rates to the project you could convert them to the project sample rate.

Re: Audacity Crashes When I Hit Play Button

Could this be because the Audacity Project in question which crashes upon play simply has too many Audio Tracks? Audacity itself will handle LOTS of tracks, but whether or not the hardware can cope is another matter. Check that you have plenty of free and defragmented drive space. Save your project...

Bit of news: As of Audacity 1.3.8 there is now partial support of VST interfaces, but only effects and not VSTi (instruments)

Re: How to use 4Front plug-ins?

If they are VST instruments they will not work with Audacity. Audacity does not support VSTi.

Re: Recording your voice to sound like another voice

I don't think that any audio editor can do that. You just need to practice mimicking the accent that you want. Get yourself a Billy Connolly DVD and practice copying him. Even if your accent is terrible, you'll have a laugh trying.

Re: Saving an Equalization Curve

You need Audacity 1.3.x to be able to save and reload custom Eq curves.

Re: FFmpeg library not found

FFMpeg is not available in Audacity 1.2.x
Try the latest version (nightly build) of Audacity which is available here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... s_Binaries

(also make sure that you have the the correct current version of ffmpeg for your operating system)

Re: Copying labels

I don't think that can be done, at least not directly, because labels use absolute time positions (each label marker has its position defined relative to time=0.0). A label track may be copied from one project to another, but it will start at time=0.0 and not from the end point of the previous track...

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

I think that it is due to a design limitation in WxWidgets (which Audacity uses to provide a cross platform GUI). The meters can either be dockable (as they are) but then they do not have minimise or close buttons (they are not "windows"), or they can be in a window, but then they are not ...
