Audacity Forum

What version of Audacity are you using - a version from Deppin's repository, or did you build Audacity yourself? If you updated Deppin and have an old repository version of Audacity, perhaps you want to update your repository version of Audacity. If that does not help, please show us a screenshot of...

Have you tried instead of "sudo apt install cmake automake autoconf".

Do you see any error message when Audacity does not appear? If you have used Audacity before and plugins are the problem, the file to delete would be pluginregistry.cfg rather than pluginsettings.cfg. How much gets written into audacity.cfg when you try to launch Audacity? If the audio devices don't...

I can't see the point in that unless it's essential to have only one track or unless you are one of the "challenged" who want to just click and not make any decisions. In my opinion, now that (in Audacity 2.1.3 alpha) we have in "Crossfade tracks" the "Automatic" setti...

I did not understand that I should post a new topic even when my problem was very similar to another person's. I am used to other types of forums where it's protocol to use the same thread for similar problems, That is a common misconception, I agree, and would perhaps have some validity if the ans...

However for me the deal breaker is that I have to keep the mouse pointer moving to keep playback going. Not sure exactly what you mean Gale, or what your expectations are, but the feature is called "scrubbing" which gains its name from the to and fro action of using a scrubbing brush (in ...

However for me the deal breaker is that I have to keep the mouse pointer moving to keep playback going. But that's not the case when using the advanced "scroll-scrub mode" you mentioned earlier, isn't it? Quite true, but I am rather "bewildered" by the co-ordination skills neede...

Add to the above: g) it becomes slightly less important finding where you can turn on Spectral Selection, but I still say that one must be fixed. I absolutely agree. Some possible solutions that come to mind (nothing new here): a) Adding a button to turn spectral selection on/off (as we do for Sync...

Usually, even after a crash, Does it crash all the time? Yes, good point. If it's a battery powered Mac, Audacity 2.1.0 or 2.1.1 may be crash prone on Mavericks or later unless you do a simple process - record one track only, export and/or save, quit Audacity. 2.1.2 should be better from that point...

i don't know what the error said and i think the recording is gone as the waveform is empty after saving. If there are no errors in the log after saving or reopening the project, then for all practical purposes I'm afraid that is correct. In that case if you import some of the AU files you will fin...
