You may need to rebuild the Windows "icon cache". There's a "how to" here: https://www.howtogeek.com/232779/how-to ... indows-10/

Audacity does not do real-time processing. You could use a "Noise Gate" to silence sound below a specified level. There's a Nyquist plug-in here: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Effect_Plug-ins#Noise_Gate The audio card is in recording mode from a mic. The DSP mode is Mono, 8 bi...

I don't think it's possible to do "mouse drag" from Python, so you need to approach this a different way. If you want to move a clip to the right, make a selection to the left of the clip (or at the start of the clip) and duplicate it. If the original selection was empty space, then you're...

Can someone confirm this ?

Yes. "Mixing" literally "adds together" the tracks.

Are you using an old version of Audacity? The current version is 2.3.2, and it is available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
The current version will probably not solve the problem, but it should give a better error message to help us identify the problem.

exporting to internal disk

What's the exact location that you are exporting to? Some directories are reserved by Windows for the system. You need to be exporting to somewhere in you "user space", such as the Desktop, or your Documents folder, Music folder, or similar.

but my mental scheme is unable to produce things like that. Nyquist macros are a bit tricky, because you need some familiarity with the Nyquist programming language, and some familiarity with Audacity's Macro commands. The code itself is pretty simple, though there is a bit of "magic" goi...
