Audacity Forum

There have been reports from more than one person who could successfully use the recovery tools. You're the first one I remember saying the recovery tools crashed. You said you always get the same error message when the recovery tools crash... what error message is that? You posted on the 1.2.x sect...

I beg to disagree... best of two worlds would be Mac and Linux

I'm not sure how audacity handles the preferences file on window The default location for Audacity Preferences has been given by waxcylinder, but it is also possible to store preferences for multiple versions of Audacity by creating a folder inside the Audacity installation folder and name it "...

I completely agree on the mp3 vs wma... I hate wma and I'd never use it unless I didn't have any other option... I don't like mp3's that much either hehe But unfortunately really free and open formats such as ogg vorbis and flac keep being ignore by the makers of the standard media playing software ...

Those who can't play th...

Peaks'd left at 1 db because I love to listen to loud (100 watts RMS), so the amplifier would fall in clliping. Should be -1dB and not +1dB. Anything positive (above 0dB) will cause clipping. Well there is a little foam cushion/filter on the mic which helped when we put that back on but did not eli...

Default export and save as path is the last used one. I'm not sure if there's a way of forcing always the same. You can have different instances of audacity installed into different folders (but only run one at a time). I'm not a windows user, but I think it should work if you download the zip file ...

I think bgravato is right ... the world should be purged of the axis of evil that is audio embedded in to an email. I'd say anything embedded is evil! Your trick wouldn't work with me because I have thunderbird set not to open any attachments (not even images). I'm not that paranoid, I don't do it ...
