Audacity Forum

Please tell us what version of Audacity you have (see the pink panel at the top of the page). I don't know how you updated the audio drivers on one of the machines, but the best way to do this is to go to the web site of the computer manufacturer, assuming it is a branded computer like Dell or Lenov...

We need more detail to go on. Start by telling us the version number of Audacity (all three numbers, see the pink panel at the top of the page). Is it 2.1.2 or 2.1.3-alpha and if the latter, what date? What are the names of the plugins and where did you get them? Are they Nyquist, VST or some other ...

My laptop is getting a little old. Would it be wise to get a cheap chromebook or something to use solely for running audacity? The problem does sound somewhat like the fading that you get due to Windows enhancements meant for recording meetings and conferences, but those enhancements are usually of...

2.1.2 supports VST plugins now but there's not many VST plug-ins for Linux. True, but there are ways to run Windows VST plugins on Linux if the only option is a Windows VST (such as running the Windows version of Audacity under WINE). I have not researched whether there is something suitable in LAD...

So this happens with all effects you tried?

Did 2.1.2 always do this and 2.1.1 does not? Or has the problem only just started in 2.1.2?

I use Audacity 2.1.2 into Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS. I wonder if there is some Stereo Phasing Automatic Alignment Plug-In, somewhere... ??? If it's an audible problem in already recorded files, and Ubuntu Studio does not have such a plugin, have you looked online? There are VST plugins that should be...

Please confirm your version of Mac (Apple menu > About This Mac). Please tell us your version of Audacity so we can decide what action to take about this problem. Go to the folder where you installed Audacity (for example, /Applications/Audacity/) then right-click or CTRL-click over Audacity.app and...

How can I make my voice sound a little younger/older? Older : Reduce pitch (and optionally decrease tempo). Younger : Increase pitch (and optionally increase tempo). http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sliding_time_scale_pitch_shift.html You can only get away with changes of +/-10% before it sounds ...

once a selection has been made, you change windows and then come back to the Audacity window. The selected portion of the waveform is no longer highlighted. I don't know if you are using a Trackpad gesture to switch application, but if you use COMMAND + TAB to switch, the track should not lose its ...

I am currently using Windows 7 Home Premium 6.1 and Audacity 2.1.2. Audacity seems to recognize only the first 2 channels. I would like to be able to record on separate tracks all of the channels. Thanks! That probably won't be possible unless there is a "master" or otherwise named record...
