Audacity Forum

It's best to start a new topic. You posted a question in someone else's topic that was irrelevant to that topic. I started a new topic for you. If it's a USB interface, try plugging it into a spare USB port if you are not already doing so. Plugging into a USB hub that has other devices connected to ...

and possibly "Split Labels"? I don't know what would be useful there that wouldn't be better done manually. How do you currently split a label (manually or otherwise). For example, if I have labelled a region and then decide that it really needs to be 2 or 3 consecutive labels, how do I s...

The problem there is that few programs (other than audio editing programs) support 32 bit float format (also, the file si...

I am about to un-install and re-install audacity. That will achieve nothing. What are you recording when you set Audacity to record two channels? Is it left channel with signal and the right channel empty (flat)? Or the same signal in both channels? If the latter, it's probably a Windows setting (n...

Here is the XML file I exported from 2.0.2 under Windows and imported into 2.0.3 under Mac OSX. (It only creates the equalization I need to flatten out the room interaction with my speakers when applied to 192KHz files - I use very different curves to create approximately the same equalization with...

If you set the Audacity temporary folder to some account you cannot guarantee to be able to write to (according to who you are logged in as), then you will always have this problem.

Could you answer the following? When you say you open this problem project on your computer profile, do you mean you are logged in as yourself, and that the project doesn't lack its audio when logged in as your girlfriend? Either way, the log seems clear - the operating system is denying you access ...
