My preference is for the "old" version. I don't know a lot about how people want to use binaural tones, but I suspect in many cases they would want either a constant beat frequency, or a "sliding" beat frequency that starts at one speed and ends at another. Either of these can b...

Apart from the "Help" screens, the other irritation is error notifications that report user input errors as a result of the author's error checking code. As with "Help" screens, I would imagine only one "notification" would actually be needed. I agree if nothing can be ...

See Troubleshooting Recordings . If you still can't get any audio programs to record, go to Sounds and Audio Devices and select the line-in or microphone there. If that does not work, reinstall the audio device using the drivers CD that came with the computer. If that doesn't work, see if you can ge...

Please read this WIki Mixer Toolbar article as far down as the section for Windows XP. Yes Mixer Toolbar input selector always says "Master" or is greyed out on Vista and 7, so you always have to select devices in Audacity Preferences, after having enabled them in "Sound" in the ...

A while back I ... wrote a simple "Binaural Tone" generator. It was a much more simple effect than the one by David Sky and simply produce a stereo pair of tones at appropriate (sliding) frequencies to create beats that could begin at one frequency and end at another (or the same) frequen...

If you have x selected tracks you get x instances of a Help or Error screen (though fortunately only one per stereo selected track).

Is this potentially fixable - so a candidate for the Nyquist Wish List ?

I figured out what was the problem with my "suffixed build". Looks like adding a suffix changes a lot of things, not only the binary name(*). It appears that the ~/.audacity-data directory also changes name to ~/.audacity-suffix-data. Copying my audacity.cfg file to that new directory all...
