On Windows machines I've had, "Audio to Buffer" delays playback but not doesn't delay recording. Audio to Buffer doesn't delay playback when software playthrough is enabled, even if you are playing but not recording. Audacity uses a pre-determined buffer setting when software playthrough i...

16-, 24- and 32-bit are bit depths. Bit rates for uncompressed files are worked out by multiplying bit depth * number of channels * sample rate. That makes a stereo 16-bit file to be 1411 kbps bit rate. This table lists the bit depths Audacity imports WAV files at: Default Sample Format File bit dep...

Only play and stop. It does have Play/Stop and Set Cursor though (SHIFT + A shortcut). I suspect the arrow keys do work but they behave differently according to whether you are playing audio or have pressed the yellow Stop button. The arrow keys do not work when paused (blue button). There are lots...

Was Software Playthrough the problem? That sends a delayed copy of what you are recording to the outpu...

Why not put it back? There are only five controls at the moment. There is a lot of text on its description page on Wiki so there is no guarantee people would see how to enable it.

After I click on Edit I was clicking on Labeled Audio. But now I realize I should have clicked on Edit and then on Remove Audio or Labels, and then click on Delete. Is that correct? Thanks. Yes, or press DELETE on your keyboard. The Labeled Audio commands are only active if you have a label track a...

I saw:

I want the caller on left channel and the local voice on right channel (or vice-versa) of a single 2-channel audio file.

Hence my suggestion, assuming the input/output are as you identified. Or do you mean you are recording the podcast with two mics?
