Audacity Forum

1. Is there any place where Audacity shows the length timewise of an audio file without having to save it first? For example, I deleted a 5 minute segment using the start & stop set points at the bottom of the screen, but I can't find any way to determine what the former & new lengths are. ...

i use JAMVOX. my guitar is plugged to the jamvox machine (wich is connected by usb to my imac). jam vox appears as an audio device in the set up my version of audacity : 2.0.6 when i play guitar with the jam vox connected to my i mac , the sound is perfect (with all the effect of the JV) but when i...

Exactly - it is an assumption, and yes it has some logic to it. But you presented it as a hard fact with an exact dB modification level based on one developer's report with two cheap (un-named) devices. My "assumption" is regarding "why" Microsoft decided to do it. The "har...

Thanks for the file. I can confirm ffprobe (the FFmpeg analysis tool) sees the file as 5:1 Duration: 00:05:38.60, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1535 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: dts (DTS-HD MA), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), fltp, 1536 kb/s Assuming the file is encoded correctly, I suspect the reason is that the two...

We've attempted to fix Audio Unit support on Yosemite. Audio Units should also support real-time preview and user and factory presets. Testing and feedback would be highly appreciated. The changes will be available in the next Nightly Build (that is, 26 November 2014 03:15) from the top of http://ww...

I literally can't get Audacity to run properly on Yosemite: when I press the record button, it will record for about one second, then stop, and may or may not start again! If you have a selection lasting one second Audacity will by default record for one second. Have you tried Audacity > Preference...

You can alternatively do a view per group by type). The *.aup files will naturally appear first. That doesn't work for me. The AUP files are listed at the end whether sorted ascending or descending. The only way I can see the AUP files first in the window is to sort by date modified, descending. Gale

I actually came up with a more creative solution which really solves multiple problems. I'm not sure how this will play out long term but I will give it a try for now. In a nutshell, I wrote a program in AutoIT which loops thru my projects directory and does the following: Remove _data from all dir...

As explained already, we can do nothing without an example file. MediaInfo is confused about whether the file is six or eight channels too. I already suggested two solutions. Use a different demux tool, or try demuxing to WAV. If you think Audacity is to blame, use FFmpeg standalone to convert the f...

Is this a Linux only bug? Apparently not. Waxcylinder has also reported the problem of duplicate entries for Nyquist plugins. I've not seen the bug yet. Perhaps I am deleting pluginregistry.cfg too often, but I have only been doing that in the last couple of days. as long as the user chooses to res...
