A "do-it-yourself" software option would be to find a multi-band compressor plug-in that works with Audacity ... G-Multi is a free multi-band compressor plug-in which works in Audacity [on windows]. Although I'm not sure if that type of plug-in will work in Audacity's batch-processing mod...

We do now "unofficially" support running two instances of Audacity (as opposed to having two Audacity project windows open in one instance), but it does not work on Windows due to a bug. You can simulate it by running Audacity in separate user accounts, but that may well fail on Windows 8 ...

No. The ever-increasing time remaining, if one track is much shorter than the other, is only in 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. The export is fine and finishes in the normal time, but the progress bar and time remaining don't show you that.

This could easily be solved by allowing the Insert key to function as a toggle between insert and overwrite (like most editing applications) so that when pasting in overwrite mode the samples is simply placed where you set it and no other information is changed on that track.

Be sure to install only the VST2 32-bit version of that plugin and only the...

However I could still play audio in Audacity while Goldwave was playing with an exclusive option chosen, Weird. I wonder what they mean by "exclusive". Perhaps the behaviour is different on different versions of Windows? The Help says: GoldWave takes exclusive control of the audio device ...

Have been installing the alpha updates as them come out via alpha webpage RSS feed. Suppose that's a bad habit? :geek: Testing is always appreciated :) Please just remember those are not builds intended for production use. Export and backup is good. There's still an issue adding SILENCE into the AU...

I just tested Goldwave using WASAPI API (its other choice is DirectSound). It has no problem playing a full track at either low or high buffer setting (it calls that setting "latency"). Does Goldwave open and close its ports each time a play / record command is started / stopped, or does ...
