But sure, the track has been compressed to hell - no dynamic to it at all. Just constant loudness. I don't suppose Audacity has any means to uncompress ? In effect I would be trying to un-master the recording ! Clip Fix can be used as a subtle way to expand local peaks in a recording that already h...

well initially I wanted to export sounds to 8bit 22050 WAV which Amiga can handle well, but I noticed IFF/Amiga format in 'other uncompressed files' so I gave it a try. If you want unsigned 8-bit WAV, that is an encoding option when you choose WAV in "Other uncompressed files". Add the co...

The built-in sound card should have drivers matched with the computer http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Updating_Sound_Device_Drivers . Each computer should have its own installation of Audacity. Don't try to record over a network. Inspect the enhancements that are turned on for the internal mic in ...

Disabling App Nap should be done by the application ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19847293/disable-app-nap-in-macos-10-9-mavericks-application ) if required I believe – it shouldn't be down to the user knowing all the debugging steps they have to go through if they don't want to lose audio. ...

What version of Ubuntu? What PPA are you using and what version of Audacity (all three numbers)? Anyway, your error indicates that Audacity is looking for an incompatible version of PortAudio. Either a system update or PyAudio could have done this (given PyAudio adds bindings for PortAudio). You cou...

Macs have no built-in way to let you record computer playback. The usual recommendation is to use Soundflower. See the instructions at http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_mac.html . To avoid crackly dropouts, you will though almost certainly have to open Audaci...

And don't forget to turn AppNap off.

That in itself could be enough to cause skipping on some systems. Please follow the FAQ to start the buffer at 0 ms then if necessary work up in 10 ms increments until you get a steady recording.

I appreciate this is frustrating.

We have indicated that Nyquist plugins are not to be installed in Library folders. Remove them from there. Perhaps you should check that you ran the xattributes command correctly: xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Audacity/ Reboot after running the command. Also it would probably be a g...

You can't recover skipped sections that were never recorded. Are you still following the problem avoidance at http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=292317#p292317 ? Did the transposing of recorded sections ever come back, using either microphone? Avoiding skips should be a much easier thing ...
