Getting the following error from that link koz:

Since is only a visualization thing it obviously doesn't make the audio performance any different. I'm not sure about that - zooming out so that scrolling during playback does improve performance (more tracks simultaneously). Would the more complex interpolation make any difference? Certainly switc...

There have been a few problems with MP3 encoding in recent beta versions which are currently being investigated, but this is a new one on me. The easiest workaround is to export as WAV and use an external program for encoding. This may be a little less convenient, but does have the advantage that yo...

I hope you are enjoying this discussion and finding it interesting. I am :) The blue line is what the soundcard is supposed to output and what I like to see on the screen (as an alternative rendering mode). The red line is the status quo. Imagine just looking at the red line, could you draw the blue...

Audacity can handle tracks at different sample rates simultaneously. If you import a track with a 44.1 kHz sample rate, another at 48 kHz, and another at 16 kHz, then play back all three tracks at the same time, they will all play back correctly. There is no need to put them all in the same track, t...

Or plot lines going from the baseline straight up. and down? I cannot really agree with this. The sound card is not "free" to do whatever it wants with the samples, as it should attempt a reconstruction of the originally sampled wave. There is a mathematical "optimum" that the s...

audacity is unable to record that sound when that same sound is coming out of both the sound card speakers and the pc speaker at the same time. - Although it can record from the sound card speakers any other time The obvious thing would be to try disabling the PC speaker (at least while you are usi...

I think the current topic title is probably a better indication of the subject than the purple cow. :D Yes, reverberation in the original recording is a show spoiler, however, it can be reduced without going as far as carpeting the walls. Simply hanging some heavy blankets/coats over a suitable stan...

The most accurate representation would be to just show the dots (samples) and not join them up at all. The reconstruction of the analogue wave from the samples is handled by the sound card, not Audacity, so the method used to reconstruct the analogue signal may be different from one sound card to an...

If there is no option for "Saffire Multi" or something like that, then it is probably as koz suggests, 4 stereo devices "glued" together. If ASIO drivers are available for your sound card, then you will probably be able to record multiple inputs simultaneously with a program that...
