Audacity Forum

In the device toolbar, the recording device should be set to the Blue Raspberry rather than Microsoft Sound Mapper. I can't hear it out of my headphones plugged into the Raspberry, but that's a different issue. If you import an good audio file into Audacity and play it, can you hear that through you...

Which version of Audacity are you using?
There are two "crossfade" effects. Ensure that you use the right one for your task:

I have need to assign varying numeric values to specific times over the course of an audio track.

Please describe in a bit more detail, and give some background to what you are doing. What are the numbers for? How do you intend to use them? ...

Then in Audacity I see that I can 'speed up' the playback of the recording - so I used this facility to speed up the playback to 1.73 times speed. Rather than doing that, use the "Change Speed" effect. It has settings for standard record speeds. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_...

If you have Audacity 2.3.3, follow the instructions here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ins ... st_install

It is unusual for Yamaha synths to send audio over USB. Please check the manual. My guess is that you are actually recording from your laptop's microphone.

In short, no, Audacity will always prompt you to save a project. The only formats that save all of the project information are Audacity Projects, and "Lossless Copy of Project". Exported audio files have the audio data, but cannot save envelopes, time tracks, labels, separate clips, un-mix...
