Audacity Forum

I have no idea why Audacity was using audacity_1_2_temp. I have never touched the directory settings. I also had audacity_temp as a folder. As I said, you probably used an older version of Audacity at some time. I uninstalled 2.0.6, and installed 2.1.1, resetting preferences. When I tried to open a...

On my desktop machine I looked at the permissions for the audacity_1_2_temp folder, and I did not have anything but read access. I changed the folder to full control, and things seem to be working normally again with opening mp3 files Audacity. The odd thing about this problem is that on my laptop ...

The software demo didn't come through yet, so I have no idea how it works. I don't think it'll come before Monday - if all. I don't even know if it's legal to have something like that. If it's "QuickEnhance" I am sure it's legal, but the price tag would be the deterrent. You can get the t...

you should get the version without installer, which is fine.

How, in that blizzard of graphics, would I do that?

What is happening when I try to record is that the red recording cursor moves, but it records a flat line. Do you see tall blue waves for a few seconds before they revert to a flat line? If so, that is a problem that Audacity cannot write to its temporary directory (Edit > Preferences... , look in ...

Thanks, Alan. Yes I can reproduce that in 2.1.2-alpha on Windows. If I am holding the gain or pan slider steady when the screen scrolls, the other gain or pan sliders will move to that held position when the scroll occurs. If I then release the gain or pan slider, the other sliders will revert to th...

There are no indications of any signal - there are no waveforms of audio on the display. Just a flat blue line. That describes the problem better. The flat blue line is an Audacity track. We thought there was no track created. After I failed to open the .mp3, I looked at the log, and saw this: 8:14...

there is a testing tool called MediaInfo, but there's something magic about downloading it. http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download The point about MediaInfo is that they have been known to bundle other software in their installer and may install the other software even if you ask not to. To be ...

This should answer your questions Splitting a recording into separate tracks - Audacity Manual . Be aware that MP3 is lossy quality. You can't play MP3 CD's in cars or standalone CD players. For those you need to burn a lossless "audio CD", exporting your songs to WAV for the CD. See Burni...

Ubuntu 10.04 is no longer supported by Canonical. You may want to upgrade to the current 14.04 assuming your computer meets the requirements. Then the Ubuntu Forums will help you too. The recommended (I would say minimum) for 14.04 is 1 GB of RAM and 1 GHz processor. The standard Ubuntu 14.04 will b...
