Re: Sound distortion playing back recorded audio from PC

It took me a long time to find out the cause of the problem: The MaxxBass setting of MaxxAudio Pro. To get more bass on my earbuds I had MaxxBass amplify the bass sounds.

Re: Update process should be simplified for both platforms.

Still find it mildly annoying that I have to facilitate updates through an external webpage Be careful what you wish for. Personally I have always valued the fact that Audacity is one app that doesn't "phone home". Auto-update would require that Audacity has the ability to instigate trans...

Re: Effects and selection

This change was intended by the creator of the Nyquist library, so there may be no way to achieve the old behaviour. I've spoken with Professor Dannenberg (the creator of the Nyquist programming language) and he said that he'd look into this when he has time. For now, this issue has been logged on ...

Re: Shows Minus 6 Seconds hitting Record

When I hit record, the track starts at zero but immediately shows -8 seconds before the start. Turn off "Pinned playhead" (click the "thumb tack" icon on the left end of the time ruler, so that it becomes a triangle. By the way, the current version of Audacity is 3.0.2: https://...

It doesn't show up under any menus.
Make sure that you are looking in the right place. It should be in the "Effect" menu, down in the bottom sections below the dividing line.
