Re: 2.1.2 on 10.10.5 won't launch after upgrade

Ok, it was upgrade time -- a batch of 320kbps MP3's wouldn't batch-import reliably (later ones came in as flatline, even though they would import properly as a single file import) -- and I wasn't on the current release.

Re: Total Newb question - splitting stereo to two mono

he first step I have in mind is to split the left and right channels into two separate mono tracks. I see in the help that I should choose Split Stereo Track or else Split Stereo to Mono from the Track Dropdown Menu, to get separate left-channel and right-channel tracks.

Re: Audacity Suddenly Stopped Recording

when I tried to record a snippet of an unidentified song that was streaming, nothing happened, just a flat line in the window that usually shows the jaggedy line that tells me that Audacity is recording.

Re: Audacity Suddenly Stopped Recording

You have conflicting symptoms. Audacity didn't start registering Generators and Effects until 2.1.1 or 2.1.2. Audacity 2.1.0 doesn't do that. Yes it does. Will is showing you the effect registration dialogue that appears before Audacity launches. In 2.1.1 and later you get to a similar dialogue aft...

Re: Strange Popping and Clicking Noise in audio

Hello I am running Audacity on windows 10 and every time I try to export it crashes. Once it has done this initial crash it precedes to crash on startup after asking me whether I want to save or discard my recovered project. That is not a crash when it starts up. It is offering to recover the audio...
