When using the plug-in's GUI, file names should not be quoted. I've not checked on Windows, but I think that either single forward slash "/" or back slash "\" can be used as the file separator. The file name must be a "fully qualified filename. On Windows that means that it ...

I've installed Audacity through the command line using "sudo apt install audacity" a few days ago, using xubuntu 18.04. Audacity 2.4.1 is installed. Uninstall it, then remove the ubuntuhandbook1 PPA from your sources, then update the package list, then reinstall Audacity. You will get an ...

Look in the Windows Sound control panel. The device is probably set to "mono" and needs to be set to "stereo".

Is there any benefit in recording on 32 bit float ? There are no benefits of 32-bit float for "recording" (and no down-side either apart from disk space, which shouldn't be an issue these days). The benefit comes when working with the audio after recording. When processing audio, 32-bit f...

but snd-length is only called on the reduced (10 samples/sec) sound. Nyquist uses "pointers" a lot internally, which can cause some confusion. Although snd-length is referencing the low sample rate copy of *track*, the low sample rate version is referencing *track* which is referencing th...

Which version of Audacity? (look in: "Help menu > About Audacity") I've hit the drop down menu in the track, went to name and it (I think) has show up behind the main window I'm not able to reproduce that with Audacity 2.4.2. and is there a setting to stop drag and dropped tracks from alwa...
