On a few machines, Audacity 2.1.1 may fail to launch without any warning message or crash report appearing. Audacity will not be running in Activity Monitor. If this problem occurs: Open Finder, use Go > Go to Folder and type: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/ In that "audacity" fol...

If you add the Normalize effect and an export command to a Chain then apply that Chain to the files, each file's metadata should be correct. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/chains_for_batch_processing_and_effects_automation.html . A limitation though is that you cannot export from a Chain to M4...

So did you close this project and save changes with the tracks silenced? If you are still stuck, please answer the questions in the pink panel at the top of this page, then attach the AUP file, and attach the log from Help > Show Log... after opening the AUP in Audacity. Please see here for how to a...

Play Cut Preview does work using the CTRL+Green Arrow icon in the Transcription Toolbar but this really slows my editing down after being able to just hit the "C" key to preview a small section of audio. There is a workaround that you can just press Record for any length and Stop. Then yo...

If you have not already saved a project you can't use Timer Record without it trying to save automatically. I said at the time there should be a checkbox in the Timer Record dialogue to enable prompting to save the project. If you turn off the warning for "Save Project" you will instead ha...

That worked - no more fade-related errors. Also, no more Saved Presets for various other effects :( so I put back my "broken" config files, and I'll live with the error messages. I sometimes see a message like that once per session and once per effect if I move from one version of Audacit...

Audacity has no e-mail feature, you can only export the file.

Given e-mail services often have attachment limits, and given you may not know the limits on the service your recipient is using, it's often better to use Dropbox or similar.

Prefs do not copy over completely from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1! Setting meter waveform dB range passes over. You said before that "did not stick" (did not get the same setting in 2.1.1 as 2.1.0). Tracks/Default view mode (Waveform prefs for the wave window) doesn't. That and the meter/waveform ran...
