I have downloaded the .DMG for 2.05 and tried to move it to the applications folder where I currently have 2.04. However I get an error message telling me that I have a newer version already there! Please advise if I have to fully uninstall 2.04 first? We don't have those version numbers but you ca...

As few programs and services running as possible and having the same set of those every time you record will both be beneficial. Increasing number of tracks in the same project window will slow Audacity down. Unless the timing issues are due to dropouts in the recording I think you might be better s...

Audacity doesn't actually edit MP3 files. It imports them as a separate file type and then exports a whole new MP3 when it's done. This means the compression sound damage always goes up when you edit MP3 music in Audacity. Try MP3Splt. http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3splt_page/home.php That doesn...

Also, sample rates must be matched everywhere when you use external sound devices - in the Audacity project rate bottom left, in the rate of the tracks themselves, and in any settings in the device's control panel or in the device itself.

no that is the problem it still there in alphabet letter on the menus effect! What happens if you click that Effect menu item for iZotope Vinyl? If the effect appears then you have not got rid of it. On Mac, Audacity looks for VST plug-ins in the "Plugins" folder in the Audacity installat...

You should go to the Properties for stereo mix and look for any "Effects" or "Advanced tab" there may be, just in case there is a DC offset correction you can enable or an unwanted enhancement you can turn off. Sometimes problems like this can be solved by uninstalling then reins...

If you want to use Mac you must accept that an application's menu bar is not part of the application. There is a single system-wide menu bar that contains the menu for the application that currently has focus. So if you create a second window for an application, the second window will not have an at...

it was one my own error - switching computer on and off whilst Focusrite 2i4 interface was still attached by USB. Yes, it may well be best to use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon from the system tray before shutting down devices that store their own settings. However, as we suggest at ht...

If you can write English, please do so. As you can see above, there is no official technical support in French. There are no 2.2 or 2.5 versions of Audacity. You can get the latest 2.0.5 from http://audacityteam.org/download/mac . We can only help with that current 2.0.5 version. You can read the av...
