There is no 2.12 version of Audacity. There is 2.1.2. Please tell us where you obtained Audacity. See this FAQ: Why can’t I use the effects or other menu items? . You can't run Audacity effects while recording. With most third-party effects, such as LADSPA or LV2, you can adjust effects while previe...

I think it's reasonable to ask only once in the current session for "Save Project", but for "Save As" I don't think that it is clear to users that both the original and the new projects will depend on the same external files. Example: Original project name = "Over the sea&q...

Here are some other strange things I've noticed in Audacity 2.1.2: 1. Switching between envelope tool and selection tool doesn't change the cursor until mouse click. That works correctly for me on Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity) in 2.1.2 release and 2.1.3-alpha, changing by Function key or mouse. What desktop...

Well, maybe it's a popular thing, but everytime when i save my project ( i mean when i convert it to mp3 ) there is a large decibel increase, like 30 Dbs up, it happens to me everytime. If you have multiple Audacity tracks on top of each other as you seem to be saying, that's the explanation, becau...

Right basically I've got some decks and want to record my mixing.. I plug phono to Jack lead from my decks into the mic port of my pc, play a track and record it, records fine but when I play the recording back its sound roboty if that makes sense like a little distorted, the levels will be really ...

You mean open a saved project, edit it, then File > Save Project should prompt if you want to overwrite that project? No, I mean that by default: open a saved project that has dependencies, edit it, then "File > Save Project" or "File > Save Project As" should prompt if you want...

let's say I want an end result of 16/44. Would I bet better off (quality wise) recording at say 24/32 bit depth - 96khz sample rate, and then downsampling to my desired 16/44. Would this result in a higher audio quality as opposed to recording natively at 16/44? You aren't recording at 24-bit unles...

I would find that annoying.

1. I did follow the VST instructions carefully. I think I figured out where to put the downloads finally. It's not as easy as it was with my PC! You can put VST effects in Audacity's Plug-ins folder just as you can on Windows. 2. Perhaps I hit an errant "close program" button as you say, ...

Are you using system wxWidgets that uses STL? Audacity will fail to compile with the issues you see in that case. If you self-build wxWidgets 3.0.2 from https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.0.2/wxWidgets-3.0.2.tar.bz2 with no configure arguments, install that Widgets build th...
