Audacity Forum

What is the difference between opening Audacity by using .exe and install Audacity first by using an installer? As a matter of fact, I want to install Audacity to another computer to record music. In this case, is an installable version a better choice to move Audacity to another computer? Or I can...

I reinstalled my operating system and reinstalled Audacity 2.0. When I try to run Audacity now, I get a different message: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." I reinstalled Audacity w...

There is software available which does the same thing where I can alter the speed and/or pitch of WAV files without introducing distortion. Of course, it is not free but I will be looking into it. You can try Best Practice to change speed or pitch without affecting the other. It is free and open so...

You are assuming the digits are decimal digits. But if the letter "c" is a valid digit, these must be hexadecimal digits. The normal sequence for the project data starts at d00 (which is the salient point being discussed). The numbering is indeed hexadecimal, so will (probably, I've not t...

When I wrote:- this is NOT what I see. As I said in my last posting, I have started to use Microsoft's' Process Monitor to look at memory usage and I have no reason to doubt the results obtained from the use of this program. My results are (with audio cache disabled);- I should have said the audio ...

It is almost certainly something in my code, and has nothing to do with bitrate and filenames. I haven't been able to reproduce it, though, and it is strange that it is intermittent. I would like to provide an executable which can give me debugging information. I'm not sure the best way to go about...

Sorry I was not clear. I always rip CDs using the same software which I have been using for years. What software is that? The process I use to create the input files for the Audacity Sliding Time Scale is a bit cumbersome and would require a lengthy explanation. Needless to say, this arose out of t...

Since I last posted here, my friend and I deleted 2.0.0 from her machine and installed 1.2.6. It's working fine for her. I'm considering updating 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 on my machine and am wondering if I should do that now or wait 'til some of the bugs are out of it. Also wondering if she might get sound ...

Hi Dennis I am not a mathematician, but the point of the /1024 is to convert kb into MB for ease of working with the resultant figure. If you want another much more complex formula which still gives a very similar result, try http://tinyurl.com/cb7tc3k . However you play with formulas, you can concu...
