I chose to differentiate between Normalize and Amplify because Normalize can be turned on in Preferences to run on every Audio Import. Back when I implemented this feature for my users there were significant code differences between Normalize and Amplify - that may have changed. I don't think the e...

... "Save Changes?" will be the only advanced Warnings Preference. I would strongly recommend moving what is currently on the "Projects" pane into the "Advanced" section. And I'd consider moving "Directories" there too. If you are asking for a new "Advan...

I am now saving 7 hours of streaming as an AIFF file. I hope there isn't a time restriction like there is on WAV. Audacity calls saving an audio file "exporting". AIFF has the same restriction as WAV, maximum 4 GB. If you don't need to play the files in iTunes you can try FLAC which is ha...

If you are repeating your request I want to print an Audacity manual, a COMPLETE manual , I'm afraid that answer is still negative, unless you want to try saving the entire http://manual.audacityteam.org/ site as a PDF in Adobe Acrobat.

Is there a ballpark on the lower end of audio buffer that you can recommend, rather than working up 10 milliseconds from zero for each LP side I rip? No. The Audacity buffer length is interdependent with the buffer of the device you are recording from, so it's best to work upwards from zero as sugg...

When you say you have updated drivers, have you been to the Dell site and checked there for 64-bit audio drivers meant for Windows 8.1 and your particular computer model? Why are you interfacing with WASAPI? It is less compatible than MME. It may fail when choosing 1 channel (mono) recording in Devi...

When you have selected the correct mic in Device Toolbar, turn up the input level up in Mixer Toolbar: Gale That slider seems to make no difference. What happens if you record with the Logitech mic chosen as recording device in Audacity's Device Toolbar, and the Mixer Toolbar input slider turned up...
