Have you tried initialising audacity.cfg? Quit Audacity then open ~/.audacity-data/audacity.cfg in your favourite text editor Aha! It had to be that!

Windows 8.1, Audacity 2.0.6, I believe I got the exe installer I get best results when recoding streaming audio by setting my playback and recording device to the built in speakers. (WASAPI, Realtek, Realtek) However, the recording level hits zero. My understanding is that's too high. When I hover ...

I too have a Realtek Soundcard on my Toshiba Satellite laptop - with that, using WASAPI loopback, I can use the playback slider in the Mixer Toolbar to adjust the volume that comes out of my speakers, it is not grayed out. It also moves the recording slider (also not grayed-out) in unison with it a...

Alright, sounds good. There are just under 25,000 files, so this may take a while. Can I skip ahead to the affected part, or will that mess it up? I am not sure exactly what you mean but you can choose what files to time-sort, rename and recover to WAV. So you could start with the end of the record...

I have a song all composed, and I realized that I wanted the instrumental intro to repeat one more round before the main verse starts. So I copy the intro, and go to the beginning of the track like you say, and press 'paste', and instead of the tracks naturally moving over to accomodate the new sel...

The Label Track dropdown menu is nowhere near as full as the Audio Track dropdown menu. The track menus really belong with the track. Normally, options selected in a track menu apply specifically to that track. Absolutely, what I mean is having an item there to sort labels. At the moment I'm leanin...

When you launch Audacity, do you just click on the Audacity icon or do you click on an Audacity AUP file or WAV file? I usually start by clicking the Audacity icon. What happens if you just click on the Audacity icon then CTRL + P to open Audacity Preferences and then click OK in Preferences (witho...
