Basically the developers are not prepared to fix this in the short term because it needs a lot of code restructuring. Everything works if you use file open dialogues but there are a number of bugs with dragging files in of various types. Unofficial builds of Audacity are available where you can drag...

To adjust the relative volume of the tracks, use the gain sliders on the tracks until you don't see clipping in Meter Toolbar.

Amplify tells you nothing about the summed volume so it is better used after the render in my opinion, to judge the final export level.

What exactly are you trying to do? If you are trying to record the audio from YouTube, see: Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Windows - Audacity Manual . If you want to stream audio across the internet to other computers, Audacity does not do that. Use VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index....

Audacity can import WAV files fast using On-Demand Loading where it does not copy in the data. On Linux only, Audacity can import FLAC files by that faster method.Gale Gale, if I drag my 2GB+ FLAC file into Foobar 2000, it loads and can be played instantly. If I do the same into Audacity, it seems ...

great progress has been made in the area of speech recognition . This works even with a good portion of background noise, as can be verified with an off-the-shelf Smart-phone. I'm not that much an expert on speech recognition, but AFAIK it is based on detecting formants to a large extend. So, if sp...

Whatever you set the buffer size to should affect the speed of processing, but the delay will be the...

I sure wish we could disable the message. I listen to dozens of new mp3's at a time, and it's a pain to have to click on the message every exit. I would also prefer that there be a way to start playing automatically when I click on an mp3 file. OK, your votes will be counted. But Audacity is an edi...

Hey wait! That should say [...] below the value set for 'Gain'. Or more precisely, the NEGATIVE of that value! I'll leave it as is. ;) The description for "Gain" does say that "20" corresponds to -20 dB. And it is just possible to see a tone of -100 dB at default Spectrograms se...

You know, I thought it might mean that, but could not believe it was wrong.

The Manual is not yet frozen for 2.0.6, so I changed it.

Audacity has that now, except the choice is only for speed, and you have to restart playback from the cursor rather than change the speed while you're playing. And except that we require to use a special Play button. To see the option, open Keyboard Preferences, change to the "Command" ca...
