Re: dB definition in help

An Audacity developer wrote that Wiki answer, but I am confused by it. A change of 10 dB is a factor of 10, a change of 20 dB is a factor of 100, etc.. That's the power ratio, though. Audacity uses amplitude ratio, so a change of 10 dB is a factor of about 3, and a change of 20 dB is a factor of 10....

Re: Will not record audio to speakers in Windows 7

At your own risk, you can try the Audacity latest "Nightly" development build from the top of this list which has a "loopback" feature to record audio playing through the sound device (even if your device lacks its own "stereo mix" input). Select the "Windows WASAP...

Re: EQ Curve not showing when playing a song

Re: Keeping Temp files longer or autosave feature

I can't see any of the currently active developers being interested in either feature, but developers may change and disk space on drives keeps increasing. Audacity would have to set some space limit for the first feature. It certainly deserves to have a "devcomment" alongside cautioning a...

I guess it is OK if you subscribe and receive the e-mails?

It is not easy to use their web site, I agree.

Re: Mixer Toolbar Greyed Out Win 7 have micosound mapper

Thanks.

So can we mark this as solved, that it was a driver problem?

It sounds as if Microsoft gave you a generic Realtek driver that is not really matched with your Gateway computer. This is why they were reluctant.

Re: Split menu disabled

Perhaps you just want to drag-select what you want to delete, press Stop then use the DELETE key on your keyboard?

Use CTRL + X if you want to cut the selection so you can paste it elsewhere.

Use CTRL + T if you want to delete everything else except the selection.
