Audacity Forum

Hi Themickster- Thanks. No i have not tried these two options. Can you please elaborate a little to the layman what these two options will do and how to use them? A "Bandpass" filter would leave behind only the frequencies specified. MP3 is lossy, so only use it if you need very small fil...

to answer your Q,... no, why should I uninstall something that has been upgraded? 2.0.5 no longer exists on the PC, it is now 2.1.1 Because uninstalling the system package before installing the PPA is the best approach so you don't have possible conflicts with duplicated plugins or other files. Tha...

Well, no dice! I'm following the steps to the letter,(for latency test), the two small black arrows appear in my second track indicating that audacity is compensating for latency, but my bass track,(2nd track), is still out of time with my drum track,(first track). Even if so, you can simply press ...

Thank you kindly for the input. I removed the sleep and % aspects of the command, and rebooted a few times, on time 3, the "Audacity is Already Running" error came up,.. I did, previous to your post and the above test, follow the process detailed for installing PPA and having the Software...

Audacity won't allow more than one instance of itself, so the second instance is prevented from launching. Can you try without the %F in the start...

If you have more questions later, please start a new topic.

Try experimenting with smaller "Audio to buffer" sizes at Audacity > Preferences..., Recording section. You can start at 0 milliseconds and work upwards from there until you get a steady recording.

I have been using Audacity to rip music from vinyl for a few years now. Recently it's been crashing partway through the rip. Presumably you mean that you are recording vinyl? If so, what is the make and model number of the turntable and exactly how is it connected to the Mac? It's the latest versio...

If you are trying to use a file manager or the terminal to import files into new Audacity project windows once Audacity is open, you can't in Audacity 2.0.5 - you will receive the message you see. If that is the problem, uninstall the Audacity 2.0.5 version you have now and install the unofficial 2....
