Audacity Forum

I have been successfully using Audacity for several years. I just installed 2.0.6 on my new windows 8 PC with exe installer. The record function does not work. The cursor flickers and remains at the start of the track. It will play existing recordings as normal. A message comes up as follows: "...

I'm surprised there is nothing that could simply measure the amplitude of the recording and delete audio which fails to exceed a threshold.

If you use the Zoom as an audio interface on Windows, you will only get 16 bit resolution in Audacity due to a limitation between Audacity and the Windows drivers. Just to add that while that is true of the current Audacity 2.0.6, if you use the Nightly Builds these include support for a more compl...

my original question was really about recording multiple tracks at the same time and bringing them into Audacity. For example, say I am using four to six microphones or other inputs and recording a band. If I'm thinking correctly, I don't think I can import all those tracks at once into Audacity. I...

Hi, I know this thread has developed a little beyond the first post, but I've always found that when exporting a track in Audacity changes the first 5 seconds into buzzing, it is because I have multiple tracks that start at different times. Now before I export anything with multiple tracks, I selec...

I am trying to recover three projects that got missing because of a force quit. I am using Audacity 2.05 on a Mac (OSX 10.8.5). Audacity crashes regularly It should not crash regularly, but we don't make a "2.05" version (the current series is 2.0 then a dot and a third number). You can g...
