But defaulting to Yes is inherently unsafe. That's what is being complained about, but I got the impression that you were not happy for it to be changed because: If we made the change you wanted, people overwriting files many times a day would complain about extra clicks or keystrokes. I stand by t...

It is not impossible to write code that has a button in a Preferences pane which opens a new Dialog and then allows reversion of the user's choice in that new Dialog when Cancel is chosen after dismissing the Dialog in the Preferences pane. Code must be written to remember the state before the user...

ASIO was designed for low latency, but from what I understand WASAPI can be just as good or better (but ASIO may be is easier to set up for low-latency). From the tests we did a few years ago, you can't get WASAPI latency in Audacity below about 70 milliseconds (ms) for physical or stereo mix input...

If we can only implement one choice I think it would have to be "never prompt" because otherwise it won't fully stop the "complaints". Conversely, "never prompt" is far more likely to lead to complaints about lost data. Personally I'd rather have people complain about ...

Thanks, Ed and Steve. My only problems with the Preferences checkboxes were that I thought it dangerous to just put the control(s) directly in Warnings Preferences or in a new "Advanced" node in the Preferences tree. I think you said that trying to hide the controls behind an "Advance...

Hi there. Am using Mac Yosemite after a re-install. Have used Audacity for a year with no problems, but after I re-installed whenever I try to open a file (Mp4) it opens Audacity but has a blank window where the audiofile would normally be displayed to work on. Please help. Please don't forget to t...

This post was in response to a now banned user who was posting questions copied from other users You have probably not enabled the external microphone you are connected to so are recording the internal mic. See http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=313078#p313078 for how to enable devices a...

Gale: many thanks for pointing me at SoX. I read what I could about it, & downloaded it, but then I got too bogged-down in the technical notes to be able to work out what I would need to do next! There is a users mailing list https://sourceforge.net/p/sox/mailman/ - you only want one effect so ...

The audio latency was as you said not useful, but with WASAPI drivers and setting the priority to high it works fine. I think it could be better if ASIO4ALL drivers were incorporated but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. My Audacity is installed on an i7 3GHZ HP laptop running win10. Audaci...

I think it would help if Ed would provide his patch with the GUI options removed It REALLY goes against the grain for me to do something like this when I strongly disapprove! Nevertheless, I'll revisit the code today; I have neither the time nor the desire to figure out how to Git so someone else w...
