I managed, with some discipline, to avoid alt-tabbing which meant that Audacity has been mostly behaving. But over the past few days it's been lagging again, and after checking Activity Monitor, it appears that the guilty CPU-hogging process is mdu_stores. I've tried disabling it (there's a common ...

Your vote will be counted. You should use Audition or some other real-time DAW in the meantime. It is possible to record real-time effects in Audacity by recording the output of a real-time VST effect host sent by a virtual cable, but you have the additional requirement of streaming the audio to OBS...

Moved to "Adding Features". To capture the Mic is possible. Like I understand, Audacity is editing stuff from a hard drive. But to "add" a mode to put the Mic voice into RAM, edit it there (just noise cancellation effect for the start), and send the edited data to a new audio har...

On a Mac use COMMAND instead of CTRL for all those shortcuts I mentioned, so COMMAND + ALT + K to split delete and so on. Here is a complete list of shortcuts: http://manual.audac...

I am trying to record the audio stream from a local LA based radio station on my laptop computer. I am only using the soundcard that is built into the motherboard. Thanks. We still don't know how you are recording that stream. What input do you select in Audacity's Device Toolbar ? Are you listenin...
