In version 1.3.4 Beta (Windows version tested), when dragging the gain slider with the mouse, the slider moves half the distance of the mouse. I kind of like that - makes it easier to adjust to say -3dB. (not sure if it's a bug or a feature ) I like it more that you can double click and enter the v...

I would agree that it will rarely cause a full crash (Blue Screen of Death), but as you say, performance can drop to such a low level that the computer appears to be locked up. If at th...

I read on one of your posts that live playback is difficult on a PC. Is that the only issue? PC's and Mac both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Vista has various problems all of its own that can cause trouble for recording, so at present if you want to do recording on Windows, XP is a bette...

<<</audacity.cfg>>> Must be the newer version of Audacity. Mine is a different filename. Really? What's yours called? According to the documentation for Audacity 1.3 it is audacity.cfg on all platforms, or are you using Audacity 1.2? Audacity currently uses Nyquist 2.37. Nyquist 3 is not yet suppor...
