"Lossless" formats (such as WAV and AIFF) generally have about the same file size that can be calculated by multiplying: bits per sample x samples per second x number of channels x time (in seconds) To get the figure in bytes, divide by 8. 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes, so for kB, divide by 8000...

Please consider implementing file watching and auto reload.

That won't work. When you edit or process a track in Audacity, the audio data is modified immediately. If Audacity reloaded the track, then all edits and processes to that track would disappear (undoing all of your work).

a large part of the resolution on Mac OS What resolution is your display? It is known that the version of WxWidgets (the cross-platform toolkit that Audacity is built with) does not scale very efficiently on high dpi displays. Audacity will migrate to the next version of WxWidgets in due course, bu...

"Sound magic" probably isn't necessary if you can do some "performance magic". If you listen to some "classic" British readings of children's stories (example: "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" read by Richard Briers) there is no "sound magic" o...

1) I'm generating a sine tone of 3999Hz at a project sample rate of 8kHz. So it is 1Hz less than the Nyquist frequency. I'm curious to know why a beating effect occurs at a rate of 2 times a second. It is due to "aliasing" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing) Which version of Audacity...

What do you get if you run the "lsblk" command in a Terminal?

I can certainly hear what I'm trying to record now - unfortunately Audacity isn't doing any recording!

Is your web browser using SoundFlower for playback? I think that SoundFlower has to be set as the default playback device in the System Sound settings.

I want to make a loop ( the entrance melody of a song , it is nearly 20 second long ) and I want it to be 1 minute long. How can I do that? Select the part that you want to loop, then apply the "Repeat" effect (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/repeat.html) Also is it possible to d...

I can only see two tracks in Audacity, possibly because I don't know how to access the hidden tracks. To scroll down to other tracks, either use the mouse wheel (if you have one), or drag the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the main Audacity window. Effects are applied to "selected&qu...

As a workaround, you could use the Calf as stand alone, and connect it into Audacity with Jack Audio. The workaround is a bit clunky as it means that you will need to "bounce" tracks through Calf onto a new track to use the effects, but the benefit is that you get "real time" con...
