Audacity Forum

I did not mention direct MP3 editors because I don't think they will easily add silence to files They may not. but now that the poster is going to do production in WAV to avoid the compression damage, we're back to doing it in Audacity. That's fine if the poster knows the files may be much larger t...

the meter tab is still stuck partially offscreen. View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars. If that does not work, quit Audacity, open Finder, use the "Go" menu, choose "Go to Folder" and type ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/ In that "audacity" folder, delete the "...

am using OS X 10.11.3, built in microphone, & a Pyle PLTTB3U turntable. I have tried to set the input level for -9 (did THAT) under preferences, however,my meter shows only -30 to -37. I read -9 was the optimum choice. However, during recording I am getting different level. If you still have pr...

If you need to cease recording to change the tape over, you would press Pause rather than Stop, whi...

The built in echo effect used to allow for negative values of the gain parameter or "decay amount". This is no longer possible. I presume that was a bug. A negative value would mean "less than no echo" :? I don't have an old version handy - what did negative values do? On Window...

In practice, "defeating" the single instance checker is probably a more stable way of recording in one project while working on another than doing it in two project windows in the same instance. But safer than either would be to disallow actions in one project affecting another project. L...

When I went to open the file this morning, I received two messages: "Couldn't find the project data folder: "RC Skivvy and Cuttle (base)_data" Could not load file: "C\users\user\documents\stories\RC Skivvy and Cuttle (base).aup" Thanks Bob. Did you check out this: There is ...
