Re: Audacity 2.3.3 existing filters not available in new equalizer modes

Has the refactoring of Equalization into Filter Curve and Graphic EQ broken backward compatibility? Unfortunately yes. The filter selection dropdown is no longer present and the Manage buttons only provide facilities to select factory presets and save new curves or equalization settings. There &quo...

Re: Audacity 2.3.3 Graphic EQ sliders have no labels

This was intentional (though I disagree with that decision). To see the frequencies, hover the mouse pointer over a slider and wait for the "Tool Tip" to appear. If you feel that the tool tips are not an adequate replacement for slider labels, please feel free to request slider labels for ...

Re: Note names instead of frequency values in spectrum view

I am also very interested by this feature. It would be very useful for musicians. I've added your vote, but I suspect that it will be less useful than you think. At around 440Hz, a semitone is only about 15 Hz, so you would need to zoom in a very long way to be able to identify the note. Also, musi...

Re: Audacity 2.3.3 - Scrollbar glitches

Try setting the "audio host" to MME rather than WASAPI (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/device_toolbar.html)

Re: Pur signal with harmonics

Plot Spectrum uses " FFT analysis" to estimate the frequency content of the selected sound. Note that it is an "estimate" and is not totally exact, which is why a pure sine tone creates a flared peak rather than a single, infinitely thin vertical line. Note also that -60 dB is 10...

Re: Crashes when closing project

I'll try running 19.10 in Virtualbox to see if I can reproduce it there. I've now tested that, but I still can't reproduce the problem. You could try running Audacity from the command line (in a Terminal window, enter the command: audacity ). When Audacity starts, you will see a load of messages as...

Re: UI upgrade

The only information that I have about themes, is in the documentation. I rarely use any themes other than the built-in themes, though I have previously worked through the instructions (as per link) to check that they work. Audacity uses a PNG image rather than SVG so as to be compatible with WxWidg...

Re: UI upgrade

Audacity themes don't use SVG, they use a PNG file. See: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Theming_HowTo
