We installed Audacity on our church Mac Mini to record sermons. We have a Presonus Studio Live 16.4.2 board. On the input setting Audacity sees Presonus Firestudio, but when someone speaks into the microphone, there is no signal coming into the program, hence a blank recording. We also have the pre...

Please see this Tutorial: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/recording_with_usb_turntables.html . I would suggest keeping it simple. MME host is most compatible. Audio Host = MME Recording Device = USB Audio CODEC for Hype (some entry that has "USB" in its name) Recording Channels = 2 Pl...

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...

I've looked further and other files -- which I had copied to CDs or to iTunes -- are also no longer there. That is, the Audacity _data and .aup files. There is just one explanation: In updating Audacity to 2.1 I lost everything that had been worked on in the previous version. Look, I like the progr...

Gale, I also tried your suggestion regarding the temporary files....nothing changed. I still cannot record for more than 6 seconds at a time, and then everything disappears. So where exactly is your Audacity temp folder now? If strange things are happening then your temp folder is best placed in yo...

So from now on, if Zero crossings doesn't work well enough in stereo, I will 1) split the stereo into 2 mono tracks, 2) cut with Zero Crossings, 3) and if that's still not enough, put the clips in separate tracks to slide them closer, and finally 4) put the 2 mono tracks back together as a stereo t...

it now looks like this: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Feature_Requests#bars_beats. Will that do? I'm not sure that I understand the text now: " If implemented now it could be the means of displaying automatically detected beats if/when that is implemented." Should that be: "It co...

is there perhaps some way to loop the repair function? As far as I can see, the clicks are 2 slightly different widths at the same time interval. Is this in the sample you posted? Repair will smooth whatever irregularities are in the selection, based on the audio either side of the selection. There...

os 10.10.5 and up to date audacity (2.1.1). i reinstalled audacity because i was having another problem: while recording, it sporadically blurts out bits of what i've just recorded, which would be annoying enough if i could fix it by just muting, but since the ability to record multiple tracks is t...

Thank you for the input! The project folder is there. The audio files seem to be separated into two different folders, but they are not all assembled into one project file. How do I open that saved project folder? Given your Mac is crashing, I suggest you copy the AUTOSAVE file and the "projec...
