Re: Audacity muting audio after 6 seconds or stop recording

Try looking in the Directories Preferences (Edit > Preferences...) at where your Audacity temporary directory is. You need to have permission to write there and the drive must be working correctly. Change the temporary directory to your Desktop or Documents folder if you are not an administrator on ...

Re: Audio 'chopped up' in post

Yes, but. This isn't annoying clicks and pops. This is annoying half the recording isn't there..... Too high a buffer has been confirmed at least once as the cause of wide recording dropouts on Mac. The buffer clicks complained about are not always spikes. Sometimes they are small dropouts, but the...

Re: Shortcuts for tools

I would appreaciate single-letter shortcuts for the tools like the selection tool and the zoom tool. They could be mentioned in their tooltip: "Selection tool (S)". What about S for the selection tool and Z (replacing another shortcut?) for the zoom tool? There is nothing stopping you cha...

Re: Waveform antialiasing

Is there a chance for James and other developers to be interested in this thread and my proposal? Developers almost never read the Forum. ;) So if you really think anti-aliasing justifies speeding up on Track Panel evolution, I suggest writing to the -devel mailing list about it: https://lists.sour...

Re: Handling of double clicks reduces zooming speed

it seems the issue of double clicks when zooming is only half-resolved. When you zoom in with fast left mouse clicks, there's no problem, but when you zoom out with fast right mouse clicks, double clicks are handled and reduce the amount of zoom-out operations performed. (Windows 8.1, Audacity 2.1....

Re: Win 10 no device error

I'm using an external card on a PC with Windows 10. Audacity was not working, I had the message "no devices", until I disabled the internal cards leaving active only the external adapter. It seems that the setup of Windows 10 enable the internal sound cards. Thank you for the report. Auda...

Re: Audio 'chopped up' in post

@kozikowski that's what I was afraid of, I unplugged the USB device before saving the project as an Audacity file. Unplugging the device does not affect the recording, assuming you pressed Stop before unplugging it. I would look at Audacity > Preferences... then the "Recording" section. T...

Re: Error Opening Project - "couldn't find project folder"

Also you don't say what version of Audacity you are using. See the pink panel at the top of this page. Might you have closed the track that you had recorded into "Goosebuds8.aup", saved it empty this time, then recorded again and done Save Project As... "Goosebuds8p2.aup"? That w...

Re: How to download Audacity Manual to access offline

I am running Audacity 2.1.1 on Windows 7. I downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, then installed Audacity by double-clicking the audacity-win-1.2.6.exe file. "Double-clicking the audacity-win-1.2.6.exe file" would install the legacy Audacity 1.2.6 version, not 2.1.1. Also we don't put EXE...
