Yesterday, my Audacity 2.1.0 on Sierra just started doing the weirdest thing. If i tap the command key or hold it down, it starts zooming in on the tracks. It is not set to do this in keyboard preferences but it just started doing it?? If the entire window is zooming and not just the tracks, make s...

I have mac osx 10.6.8. Audacity 2.0.3 appears to export from cassette to mp3 but mp3 does not show up as individual songs and also does not have any sound. I then tried burning to cd anyway. Cd will not play because there is nothing on it to play according to my player. What can i do differently? A...

Whilst audacity loads and opens correctly I am unable to access the Help files. However a Help directory is in place as are its contents as far as I can see. Wh...

Is the Audacity user config file editable using a text/xml editor? If so what is the path to it? Yes it is editable but beware of using TextEdit on recent macOS or you could break the file. Use a plain text editor like TextWrangler or Brackets. The file is in the user's Library folder ~/Library/App...
