First, is there any way to print out (I know, very old skool) a paper version of the Audacity manual? Unfortunately not, except page by page. if I already have Audacity 2.0.4, can I download the new 2.0.5 version? Yes we strongly encourage updating to the latest version as soon as released, then yo...

To begin with, Tracks > Stereo Track to Mono. The audio is identical in both left and right, so you are just degrading the quality by trying to export as stereo. It will sound the same in mono as in stereo. Second, the file already has a "Software.Lavf54.2.100" ID3 tag so it seems FFmpeg h...

Muted two of the tracks? Muted tracks do not export.

Thanks for the report. Someone else mentioned this on OS X 10.5.8, but I don't know if anyone on Audacity Team still has 10.5.8 now. Are other windows freezing up, such as Audacity > Preferences? If you can get into Preferences, go to the "Interface" section, uncheck "Show How to Get ...

2GB RAM but only 32 or 64GB SSD. 2 GB RAM is not enough if your projects are going to be an hour or more long. That's only just enough RAM to run the operating system, Internet Explorer and e-mail (assuming this is a 64-bit computer). See the Audacity requirements: http://audacityteam.org/download/...

the file is too big to email Then you could upload it to a web site and give your congregation the link to the file. I can't see your computer or what edits you are doing so I don't have many other suggestions to make, other than try a bit rate between 16 kbps and 128 kbps. If you must use 16 kbps ...

If you are prepared to just use the left or right channel as a mono recording then the obvious solution would be to run a recursive script that ran on all folders in the _data folder and deleted all odd or even numbered AU files. I am not a scripting genius but you could search on Google or ask on t...

AU files are always mono when you import them manually. If you had renamed them in time sort order and if the sort order was accurate, the first, third and fifth AU's and so on are the left channel, and the second, fourth and sixth AU's and so on are the right channel. If you were using xplorer2, yo...

I have tried to compile Audacity 2.0.5 using the new wxWidgets 3.0.0. This does not work. This is expected. Support is only for 2.8.12. Hence I have tried to do it using wxWidgets 2.8.12 with only static libraries. This works, but the link stage needs "-lX11" (so I had to modify the Makef...

With even a cursory examination of Noise.cpp and Silence.cpp one can see that, although these two dialogues are virtually identical, the code implementing each is quite different. From what I understand the Developers would like to re-factor this code to get rid of all the duplicated functionality ...
