Please give the Audacity version and Mac OS X version. See the pink panel at the top of this page. Limited output control. I'm a Mac user, but I assume this problem is universal. For some reason whenever the program uses the Built In Output I need to jack the volume almost all the way to hear anythi...

SE4 is a third party plug-in, and I agree it appears to be broken. You could try contacting Steve Harris as he is officially the maintainer of the "Steve Harris" plug-in collection, though these plug-ins are all rather old and I don't know to what extent he is still maintaining them. Can ...

I keep getting this error... input device settings/sample rate Is that the full message? It's probably "Error opening sound device". See : http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_errors.html#sound_device . If you get that error recording audio from the keyboard over the USB cable, make s...

cant seem to find the 'audio/midi ' setup menu (i have the old 2008 white macbook) maybe when i reconnect the mixer it will give me the options like your example picture? You should be able to open Audio MIDI Setup by opening Finder, click Go at the top, then in the menu that drops down, click &quo...

the mixer is pre set and not adjustable as far as i know I don't think the sample rate is adjustable on the mixer but you should definitely open /Applications/Audio MIDI Setup and ensure the input is set to the same rate as the Audacity project rate (example image below): http://wiki.audacityteam.o...

Thanks for clearing that up. It'd be great to have an option to opt out of that particular behavior. I've never used any other application that does it. Maybe there are some, I've just never encountered any. I'll record your "vote". Some people think Audacity playback "sounds" b...

because you can't find the right numbers? Please give me some examples to find it to get accuracy. The manual doesn't give so in details. If you use the Length boxes in Change Tempo you can get a readout of the percent change required for that selection, then apply that percent change in Sliding Ti...

I don't understand what your Feature Request is? Hi It's not a feature request. You posted this in "Adding Features", so I wasn't sure. If a version of Windows/Mac Audacity is released that can build with FFmpeg-HEAD, an updated Import/Export library will be needed to replace FFmpeg_v0.6....

The Audacity project rate should be the same as the rate you set for the mixer in Applications/Audio MIDI Setup. The higher the rate the more prone the recording may be to quality problems. It is possible that a USB recording device will exhibit problems recording for a long time at a very high rate...

I just join two mono channels into stereo after recording? No quality loss whatsoever? There are no losses if you use the Track Drop-Down Menu to join the tracks but join them immediately after recording rather than after applying gain or pan to the tracks.
