Audacity Forum

I'm not sure if it's due to something I've changed, or due to something being updated in (X)ubuntu (I suspect it is the latter) but Audacity 1.3.4 is working much better now - I've even managed to use real-time effects with Audacity connected to Jack Rack. Connecting it up is a pain because Audacity...

I have software playthrough checked, and I'm sure that's why I have latency in the playback... Spot on. Software playthrough is much slower than hardware playthrough, hence the delay. If I uncheck it and just use hardware playthrough, I get no signal at all out of my headphones...... is the answer ...

Thanks for the response. I was able to convert the file to a .wav but when I hit play in Audacity, I still get the screeching sound that lasts about 1 second- I can't hear the song at all It has not converted properly. I think that you should be able to export as WAV directly from iTunes, but If yo...

Are you trying to use ASIO drivers? (I think most DigiDesign stuff uses ASIO by default, but Audacity is not compatible with ASIO due to licensing restrictions.

If you use "Import" to get the sounds into Audacity, all should be fine.
If you still have problems, please state if you are using 1.2.6 or 1.3.4
