Audacity Forum

It is a bug. It has now been fixed and the fix will be available in the next Audacity release (scheduled for around the end of April).

I'm guessing that if you leave your Mac switched on and unattended, with no applications running, it will shut down within a couple of hours. Please test and let us know what happens.

Check the "sample rate" in the Windows Sound settings, in both the "Recording" and "Playback" tabs, and ensure that they are both set to 44100 Hz (44.1 kHz).

Are you sure that it works for a single point just as for a region ??

Ensure that the setting "stick" (are not reset to other values by Windows). Then restart Audacity.

I'd suggest that you split it into 5 minute sections and have one Audacity project per section. In each section, work from left to right so that adding / removing new clips in the same track does not disturb other clips. Aim to keep the number of tracks down to 4 or 5 per project. I think you will f...

This should help visualize what I'm trying to do. What is the recording? How long is that recording? What are the little clips after the first stereo track? Are those clips all the same? I did this so I could copy and past track at the beginning of each clip with 'sync-lock Tracks' on to make sure ...

Please add my vote to this feature Vote added. I have two 2-hour recordings from a self-contained Tascam lavalier mic during a shoot. I guess I should have started a stopwatch and written down when we filmed different takes of each shot. I have to review the whole thing to select the right bits for...
