Audacity Forum

However you should also look at Scripting in Audacity which supports any script language that supports named pipes: http://manual.auda...

Audacity does not convert audio to MIDI. It can only export MIDI from a MIDI file. Audio to MIDI is very hard to do. It means detecting all the notes in a recording, including chords. In practice it can only be done approximately, and even then only for a single voice or instrument. So you will need...

Oggenc2 is not the official OGG encoder. As far as I know its main difference is that it can accept input from a wider range of lossless codecs and has better support for multi-channel input. Audacity uses the official OGG reference encoder. Audacity does not develop libvorbis or oggenc2. If you wan...

The first method has worked out well and has allowed me to make "seamless" insertions On some material it may be beneficial to do CTRL + Z before the Cut and CTRL + Z again after placing the cursor (before the paste). CTRL + Z moves the selection edges or cursor to a safe place where the ...

Are you doing export multiple by typing names in labels (as in http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/label_tracks.html )? ... If it is a problem with names, then drag-selecting the first region you want to export in the blue waves, choosing File > Export Selection... and repeating for the other sele...

What are all three numbers from Audacity > About Audacity... ? You should be using 2.0.5 from http://audacityteam.org/download/mac . I took out every slash, apostrophe, and parenthesis (anything other than letters) from the track names and still go the same error message. Exporting the tracks as WAV...
