Re: Extreme distortion after exporting to Ogg

Hey, all, I mainly use Audacity to encode 12-track ogg files, and I was encoding a few earlier today and something strange happened. I encoded 5 files, all with the same settings as usual...4 worked just fine. The very first one I encoded came out garbled and distorted, also seemed like it was miss...

Re: Can't detect lame_enc.dll on Windows 7

I have tried everything that I know to get the beta to work in my windows 7 machines and will not find the lame.dll at all no matter what I do where I install it or anything . I have used Audacity for years and not had a problem with this lame. dll but this one is useless. I cannot get the beta to ...

Re: New checkout fails to build

Here is what LV2 support provides in Audacity, if you can build the slv2 library. It does not build on Windows (Bug 55) precisely because it's written in C99 - I understand it needs a lot of work translating calls into C++.

Re: Always scans for VST Plug-ins on startup

Well, I downloaded a VST plug-in and loaded it and that seems to have resolved my issue. I would suggest others just download a Free VST, any VST, and load it. Quick and simple fix. Or you can open C:Documents and Settings<user name>Application DataAudacityplugins.cfg in Notepad and make the first ...

Re: Label- Slows down and stops program

This does appear to be a limitation in Audacity. I've just tried entering several hundred words into labels and as you say the program slows down considerably. For some reason handling labels seems to use a lot of CPU power and with enough labels I get one processor running at 100% for several minu...

Re: Set/Change default save location in Windows 7

As far as I understand it, (this is how it works on XP), the Save Project window always opens at the directory from which an .aup project file or audio file loaded was loaded . Otherwise, it will fall back to the working directory the first time Save is used, or after first use, to the last used di...

Re: Error saving message

Force quit? I doubt that most new users will try that. From their perspective there would not seem to be any apparent advantage to doing this; indeed they would likely fear that doing such might interfere with the Auto-Save function which is their seeming last hope for recovering their project. The...

Re: Error saving message

when the elves are tying to dig someone out of a problem, nobody is going to crank through that decision tree of safe characters. We can get people out of trouble immediately by invoking the "Universal Safe Character" list. Accepted that may be true of 1.2, and true of 1.3 where it has bu...

VHF's issue was unknown to me before, but we've been over the rest of this many times I think. Can the "elves" bookmark this thread? Just to clarify, "" is perfectly legal on Mac and Linux, and should not be rejected on those OS'es. On Windows, it "should" be rejected, ...
