system memory goes from 3gb to 16gb in 5 minutes. By default, Audacity records as stereo 32-bit float PCM at 44100 samples per second. That's 4 bytes per sample, and 2 channels = 4 * 2 * 44100 = 352800 bytes per second, which is approximately 20 MB per minute. I can't see where you can be getting 1...

I need to be able to paste a cut clip of audio over top of an existing wave, Select the audio that you want to overwrite and then press "Ctrl + V". not just replacing the area that the incoming audio occupies. I don't understand what that means. (It's been a very long time since I've used...

Measure both and write down the dB numbers.

It's possibly a bit simpler than that. When you have two measurements in the Contrast effect, it will tell you what the difference is (in "dB RMS").
The difference in RMS is a common way to measure the difference in loudness.

It's possible that the Zoom may not support bidirectional audio data when recording 4 channels.

I also tried converting the whole file in mono and then with the amplifier add a bit more gain to the mix and seemed to do the trick. If it's a speech recording, then that sounds like a good fix. If it's music, then I might try splitting the track (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/splitting_and_...

I'm pleased that you like how Voice activated recording is working, but I'm a bit surprised as there haven't been any changes to it in the latest release.

Look in "Help menu > About Audacity -> Build Information".
Scroll down to "Features".
Is "Nyquist" enabled?

I have done instaliing step by step using the wiki instructions (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_ffmpeg_for_windows.html) and it didn`t help . What am I doing wrong? Here is my log. The final li...

Audacity will record whatever audio comes through the recording device selected in the Device Toolbar . There is no provision for signal routing within Audacity. You may do better using software that is recommended by Pioneer, such as Traktor, Serato,... See the manufacturer's documentation for deta...

I am pretty sure Fedora uses PulseAudio rather than ALSA. PulseAudio is a software layer between ALSA and applications, but yes I would have expected Fedora to use PulseAudio. Surprisingly there is no sign of PulseAudio in the Audio Device Info. To check if PulseAudio is installed, run this in a Te...
