Gale, if I am understanding the question correctly, it was a new project. I start a new project for each recording. First I assume you have not done File > Save Project As before recording, is that correct? If you did not do a project save, this would mean the data for the recording was written to ...

So I'll download a second copy and compare it against the first one. That should be good enough to check against download corruption. Yes it should. You would have to be very sure your browser or download manager really gave you a second copy. In practice they will give you the same copy from their...

Gale, I looked at the list of functionalities for the various file types and I guess I would disagree with footnote #2 to the extent that I do not find that the the metadata fields actually gets exported for 4 out of the 5 fields. It means that FFmpeg only supports writing "Artist", "...

It's a limitation in the FFmpeg library Audacity uses for WMA export. See: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/FFmpeg_integration#Functionality (the "ASF" long name at the top). If you export as MP3 you will get better support for Audacity's seven built-in tags (only the Comments will be mis...

I am quite sure a majority do not experience it. When I try to open an aup file I...

My question was the audio volume is higher when i do the 'mix and render' and 'amplify to 0db' for the 5.1 ac3 audio in Audacity. It would happen if you mixed and rendered and the result of that was that the peak was below -0 dB (meaning that when you open Amplify, a positive amplification value wi...

Howdy! I have an Asus Windows 7 notebook laptop that I absolutely love. I am running the beta version of Audacity on it as recommended. However, I am experiencing a lot of frustration with EXTREMELY slow response time when giving any command in Audacity. Scroll left/right, Control F, Control Shift ...

What mixing algorithm is used in audacity to downmix ac3 5.1 to wav 2 chs? I know Audacity uses ffmpeg for decoding ac3. But is the downmix 5.1 to 2, different from the ffmpeg? Because, i see the audio volume is different playing below two in audacity: - when ac3 5.1 downmixed to wav 2 chs using ff...
