Re: Crackly playback on project transferred to second Mac

This is nothing to do with compatibility of project data between different Macs. Audacity will read the project data the same way, whatever Mac it is. It is however generally not recommended to record direct to external drives, if that is what you are doing. Recording is a real time process. Disk ac...

Re: DOUBT ::: Multitrack Recording PRESONUS AudioBox 44VSL

You could try Audacity 2.0.4 and WDM-KS host (with the warning I mentioned). If you were to disable the built-in sound device in Windows Device Manager before trying 2.0.4 that should minimise the risk. You could overdub - record tracks 1 and 2, then play tracks 1 and 2 while recording tracks 3 and ...

Re: Windows 10 MP3 Length

MP3 files created with the recommended version of Lame for Audacity today are exactly the same as (identical to) files created by Lame in 2011. These files have been working on a wide range of software on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, Mac OS X and Linux for over 4 years. Then comes Windows 10 and sudden...

Re: Metadata Editor -- Copy "Title" into "Album"

Does this not work on Mac? http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/metadata_editor.html#tag No it doesn't work. - The "genre" isn't a dropdown list until you click it TWICE. It's empty and looks exactly the same as other fields. Nothing to suggest it might be different. - Other fields can be...

Re: Is clipboard data recoverable after closing audacity?

I cut some data I meant to transfer to another file, then absent-mindedly closed and saved all my open files. When I reopened the target file, the clipboard was empty. Is that data retrievable? What version of Audacity are you using? See the pink panel at the top of the page. In any recent version ...

Re: Windows 10 MP3 Length

Play speed on WMP is indeed 1.0 on the dot. I've gone ahead and tested some files in Groove Music and they're playing odd as well. I've not tried using dBPowerAmp, but if both that program and Audacity use LAME, then I would definitely imagine that's the culprit more so than Audacity itself since W...

Re: Pause Click Freeze

I tried the recommended "work around" and got a message in terminal that did not look inspiring (not that I understand it). Failed, Refused and Unknown are not positive: :-) There is nothing bad there - those messages are "normal". If you get underruns noted in the terminal when...

Re: Pause Click Freeze

I love using Audacity and even with the daily crashes found it excellent. If this resolves the issue it will be SPECTACULAR! The Ubuntu handbook 2.1.1 PPA will be more stable generally than the Ubuntu packaged version of Audacity, but it will still be prone to freeze using PulseAudio devices if you...

Re: Windows 10 MP3 Length

For the 1:07:03, that's how long it takes until the end of the audio (ie, at the end of the clip, I say "see you later" and it at 1:06:55 when it should be finished, I'm still not at that point, but I finish saying it at 1:07:03). It doesn't add any silence on Windows Media Player. So Win...
