If you are using the current 2.1.1, the special playback commands do not work, due to a bug.

As a workaround, each time you open a new project window, press Record then Stop. You can close the recorded track afterwards.

You're on Yosemite. Jseppi is on El Capital Please, adjust your software so that it writes "El Capitan". ;) I have to correct that too many times. Probably not the same problem. It might not be. So @168Jones, it would be far simpler if you had started a fresh topic. It confuses everyone t...

The computer I use for recording the set is running Xubuntu, Audacity is running version 2.0.6-alpha. Where did you get that 2.0.6-alpha from? It's dated August 1 2014, not at all close to the date of 2.0.6 release, so could be highly unstable. You should not use alpha builds unless you have a reas...

The reason for the question is.. looking in Task Manager [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Esc], it says Audacity is using 10 MB with a 2 hr stereo FLAC open. 10 MB?? That's nothing! Earlier Audacity had an option to store audio data in RAM for faster access. The option tended to crash before Audacity's allocati...

So do you want to "vote" for a 64-bit version of Audacity on Windows? That's the only way Audacity will address more than 2 GB to 3 GB of RAM and have Windows manage the RAM. Hmm yes.. I vote for a 64-bit build . I added your vote to http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Feature_Requests . Gale

That's the only way Audacity will address more than 2 GB to 3 GB of RAM and have Windows manage the RAM. "RamDisk Plus" is commercial ($80 US) software that claims to be able to exceed the OS memory limitations on 32-bit Windows. For a 32-bit app like Audacity, the Windows memory limitati...

I use a Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 device, which I feel sure works. At the bottom right of the Audacity window, the second from the right says End or Length. The second of these is activated. Are you saying I should not set anything in that little number window? I suggest you follow the advice to r...

Please, see the pink panel at the top of the page and give us that information. Are you still on Xubuntu? Or actually on Windows? I got a bit of a problem here, I was recording a set using Audacity. I remember to save it correctly and turn off the laptop that was running the Audacity, now when I'm t...

Thank you very much for your guidance and instruction.

That is OK, I made it clearer in my post that the file name chosen for export should be typed in the export dialogue as normal, not in the command.
