Audacity Forum

I think I've accidentally fixed the problem, although it's hardly a solution. In Device Manager I rolled back the soundcard driver back to the previous, Microsoft version I had before. Now Audacity starts up instantly (~6 seconds) on the first startup. Reinstalling new driver reintroduces the probl...

... the old installation will be overwritten, but the Programs and Features entry for the older version will be left behind and will uninstall the later version ... Thanks all for your guidance. If I am reading correctly, am I still using the older version of Programs and Features even though it sh...

need to listen a .wav format file for a very important issue. It is 71.4 MB and 5h 12min 05sec long It is not a normal uncompressed WAV file then.

I like koz's suggestion "Rhythm Track", which suggests to me, something between "Click Track" and "Drum Machine". More options and more "advanced" than one would normally expect of a "click track", but not a full featured drum machine. It does kind ...

If you want to use Time Shift Tool (F5) instead of Generate > Silence then you have to first click in the track then use COMMAND + I to create a separate clip in the track. A black vertical line in ...

On two or thee occasions when playing a tune, it will just stop. Without touching the mouse, totally hands free. I go back to the song, and start it again, and it plays all the way through perfectly. This has happened on different songs, not the same one. Have you got all 70 songs imported at once?...
