Re: Building Audacity 2.1.2 on Debian unstable

You could install your local copy of wxWidgets then run sudo ldconfig This would be normal practice in my book anyway. The default installation of wxWidgets is to /usr/local/ so it should not mess up apps that use system wxWidgets. In any case you can configure with --prefix= if you want a custom in...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

That could really make the Play button tooltip long, but I don't object. Others might. By default it just has the word "space" added, rather than the meaningless "()". I think that would be an improvement. I don't think the Play and Stop button default tooltips should be Play (S...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

OK, but this is only consensus of the small group discussing it here. My concern was about getting a consensus among others (mostly developers). For that purpose I thought a Spectral Selection Tool could be too controversial. I'm sorry but I don't buy this either ... This may right now only be a &q...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

Spectrogram view can be useful for seeing a sudden onset of a sound, so it's useful for finding clicks and other glitches, or for lining up beats, or making a selection that starts / ends at the onset of a beat. For heavily compressed "pop" music, it is often easier to locate a beat in th...

Transport Toolbar Tooltips

Split from http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=299920#p299920 Either we show the default "Play/Stop" shortcut in the tooltips for both "Play" and "Stop" buttons, or we set default shortcuts for Play only and Stop only. I think the most useful approach for use...

Also make sure you are using Audacity 2.1.2 from http://audacityteam.org/download/mac/. That is the only site from which you are guaranteed to really have the "latest version".

Re: Help with removing music from a video

Are you talking in the video or you have other sounds you want to keep? If not, why not just overwrite the audio with something legal?

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

Do you mean the tooltip for the button? Personally I would like that, but we don't show tooltips in other Edit Toolbar buttons. James as I understand it does not like the shortcuts that we now have displayed in the Transport Toolbar buttons. Yes, a tooltip for the button. I agree with James that a ...
