Re: Why does Audacity freeze?

Audacity version: I don't know You will find that in "Help menu > About Audacity" Linux: Kubuntu 14. I assume that you are aware that version is virtually obsolete? You've not said what you were doing when Audacity froze. If you were starting or stopping playback or recording, then the pr...

Some of my files open fine with this, but some just don't open. Is there another workaround I'm unaware of?

Re: Recording in mono severely limits the waveform - why?

After the upgrade, recording in mono limits the audio at -0.5 dB as if I've put a very harsh limiter/compressor on it. Please confirm if it is "limiting" at "-0.5 dB" or "0.5" on the vertical track scale (0.5 linear). 0.5 dB is only a tiny fraction below full track hei...

Re: Limiter on Audacity

This is my copy of limiter correct as of 2015. There have been quite a few updates since then (https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commits/master/plug-ins/limiter.ny) The latest version is included in Audacity 2.3.2 (available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/)

I thought Limiter was an included effect in Audacity 2.3.2.
It is. It's been included since about June 2015.
