What I'm actually asking for is to find a keyboard shortcut that will open the box that allows me to amplify a track. This box appears after chosing Effect> amplify... You have to add your own choice of shortcut for Amplify using Edit > Preferences then choose "Keyboard": http://manual.au...

I had the project sample rate set at 8000Hz unknowingly...was the sample rate set automatically to match the original wav file? If there are no tracks in the project already, importing a file will change the project rate if necessary to match the rate of the file. If there are already tracks in the...

Excuse me, I did something wrong. Indeed, with audacity-win-r12316-2.0.4-alpha-08-may-13.zip I can choose "Windows WASAPI" instead of "DirectSound", and it works! I can finally register. Good. ;) Is the recording loud enough? Is there still a problem with recording from Realtek ...

I'm fairly computer savvy and think you're right about maybe the way Windows interfaces with the sound device. However, all sounds work properly: Windows sounds, YouTube, CD's, mp3's, etc. So I don't have an issue with sound per se as far as I can tell. It all goes back to Audacity not launching. C...

I just finished creating multiple tracks for a long concert so that I can have mp3's to burn to a CD. I didn't write the label names as I went, but when I went to export multiple files I get the box where I can enter the names of the files, which I'd like to do.

And there may also be rounding issues that are separate, if it's the second slider (or second control) we change? I rarely use sliders. But try this running in a comma separated locale. Launch Audacity Generate > Pluck Click in "Duration" after the "0" of "1,0". Press &...

I believe I understand how to make a device the default input in Sound as you have explained it well. However, In attempting to selectively disable any inputs or outputs, for some odd reason, when I right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, followed by left clicking on "Recording Devices...

It's a problem (bug) that applies to Nyquist slider controls, so it could affect any current or future plug-in, but it may not affect all Nyquist plug-ins. With German locale set on Windows, I did 10 Generate > Plucks, 10 Generate > Risset Drum and 10 Generate > Click Track, setting a non-integer d...
