Audacity Forum

I have a Gateway PC with Windows 8.1. I just did a clean reinstall of all software from a Win 8.0 base image, including upgrade to 8.1 and install all patches. (That took considerable time, but it had to be done to get a "fresh start.") I also downloaded and installed the latest Audacity ...

I have 2.0.6 on Win 8.1 Previous version of Audacity had great playback from recording. It was hard to tell from the original source. The new version has a "boxy" artificial sound. What is causing that? No. It is something you changed or something specific to your computer or audio device...

That should not happen. Single-click at the point where you wan...

Regarding the documentation, I think that Auto Duck is quite a tricky effect (it's the only effect that requires two tracks). Perhaps it would be useful if we had a step-by-step example of its usage in the wiki, and a link in the manual to that example. (as always, it's a matter of finding the time...

I still don't know if you are talking about the Manual or a WAV file for CD, but please try the information or Tutorial above and let us know full details of any specific problems you have.
