Audacity Forum

I'd like to know if there is a way to make Audacity change the default track display mode. Currently the default is Waveform. Normally I use the Spectrum display mode, so it would be handy for me to change the default and make Audacity show the Spectrum mode automatically. However, the manual doesn...

It reminds me of an old-fashioned pen-nib.

Many bugs are not repeatable (they are the hard to fix ones). That bug is repeatable if you delete some audio, CTRL + Z to Undo, then CTRL + B and type j or k This must be a hard to fix one then. When I try those steps the problem does not occur (though I can sometimes produce the issue by speed ty...

I suspect hellosailor was using the term "instance" as I would. That, to me, is two instances of Audacity. Steve used the term "instance". But if he meant two instances of the audacity.exe for 2.0.x, this is deliberately blocked by Audacity. On Linux you get an error if you laun...

I'm not sure what hash mark you are looking at. If you mean the Timeline ( http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/timeline.html ), you will have to use the zoom button (or CTRL + 1) to zoom in before the Timeline shows many gradations between seconds. However if you set Selection Toolbar to hh:mm:ss +...

I noticed in the Audacity wiki that there was interest in knowing more about how well FeSTige works with Audacity. I might be able to help! ;) I'm using KXStudio, and trying out lots and lots of VST instruments (synths). So far, here are the ones (freeware mostly) that I have had "problems&quo...

Just to clarify, there are never two instances of Audacity (unless you are running 1.0. or 1.1 with the current version). There can be multiple project windows. Each project has its own metadata. The metadata in one project should not interfere with that in the other project. I was getting tired of ...

Getting to that starting point is no easy feat. I had to slide it back and forth many times. Is there any way to calibrate it with numbers? Ex. You want the music to start at 2.015 and then end at 3.225 Can you type in these numbers anywhere to grab that section numerically? Yes. Type the numbers i...

That's something to look at, but "may activate"? May? And here I thought computer programs always did the same thing, every time. It just sometimes forgets, at randoms times for random letters, that it is in the labeller? Or??? Are you using Tracks > Edit Labels to create labels, or CTRL ...

The height of a new recorded track should be similar to 1.2. If you want a single track to fill the vertical height, set "Automatically fit tracks" in the Tracks Preferences .

You can turn on View > Show Clipping to mark any clipping with red vertical lines.
