My own finding is not to use sound activation. If all else fails, make two recordings of the MIDI and edit them together. I'm not sure why Sound Activated Recording might be more prone to dropouts, given the Sound Activation Level was set correctly. If turning Sound Activated Recording off reliably...

I believe people like me who split stereo tracks and those who mix to clear space will get bear-trapped. An important feature of any "trap", whether for bears or otherwise, is that it remains hidden until the trap is sprung. In the aforementioned case of two tracks where track 2 is both m...

That would be "mix in place" or "render in place", or "freeze track(s)" if you 'd want to keep in line with what others DAW's do. And it would avoid all the steps above, Yes, exactly so. "Mix in place" is much clearer. I had no idea what Steve meant. I might ...

Nothing changed since then and probably won't. THAT is what I find so exasperating. A bad decision was made years ago so we must live with it forever. :sigh: Me too - and note carefully that this is not the only place we continue to abide by old bad decisions <sighs deeply> If we can all agree on a...

Mixing is a generic term. Mixdown/Mix Down is (or appears to be) more specific. If we have a preference for not exporting muted tracks then the "mix" term there will be clearer. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/mixing.html already mentions tracks with Mute on are not exported. I added ...

If it is not stating the obvious you need to download FFmpeg 2.2.2 to import WMA files. If you previously had Audacity 2.0.5 or earlier, Audacity 2.1.2 will not work with the older FFmpeg 0.6.2 that 2.0.5 used.

Any unencrypted WMA files should then import, except 24-bit WMA Lossless.

Thanks. It's a bug in the phpBB software. If the user is not allowed signatures, the "Attach my signature" line should not be shown.
