Does Audacity have the ability to record audio in real local time? For example: At 12:30 on a sunday I record audio using my microphone for 1 hour. Can I switch the x-axis so that the recording has each hour, minute, and second on file from 12:30 to 13:30? Is this possible? The Timeline cannot show...

To hear audio in Audacity, use Device Toolbar to set the playback device to the speakers or headphones you are using. When you have done that, enable Transport > Software Playthrough at the top of Audacity to hear the record player while you are recording. If you cannot hear audio when you play your...

From the release notes http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Notes_2.1.0 : (Linux) Audacity may not always compile against supported versions of libav or FFmpeg. Audacity 2.0.6 and later supports FFmpeg 1.2 to 2.3.x (or libav 0.8 to 0.10.x). Dynamic loading (as in default Audacity ./configure) r...

IMO there is no need to do make choices at all with the number we currently ship But THAT is a choice the we make. You appear to be concerned that we should not decide on the user's behalf which effects to include by default in the menus, but seem quite happy to decide which effects to ship and whi...

Those that I would hide were all spectral effects because they take away three "Valuable" places starting with "s". The main reason is that they do not fit in the concept and are 90 % of the time not useable. Furthermore, they could be simplified by e.g. pressing ctrl-l = silenc...

I'm minded to think that rather than have a Register Effects we should ship the lot and have an Unregister Effects so the users can knock off the ones they don't want (they can always add them back later if they find they need them). 8-) Users will still need to register non-shipped plugins. Regist...

Hi, I've re-uploaded the package to PPA, built with the default ffmpeg in 15.04 repository. And the ffmpeg export seems work for me Thank you, I can confirm FFmpeg export and import appears to work for the three formats included (AAC, AC3 and WMA). I added a note about your PPA here: http://wiki.au...

Please tell us your version of Audacity and Windows (see the pink panel at the top of the page). If you have Skype running and don't need it, shut Skype down. It can interfere with recording volume. Look in Device Toolbar and make sure you are recording from the Blue, not from stereo mix. Turn off T...

Did what you suggested Gale, still no luck in recording. Does that message about the latency problem affect that & if so, what can I do about it? As I said, the recording is stalling. If you turn off Transport > Overdub, it will probably still stall but you won't see the message about latency c...

Incidentally, I just wiped my machine to reinstall the Windows 10 preview (now that it is finally worth it and I've come to terms with the ridiculous OneDrive change) Feel free to let us know if you find any issues with Audacity and Windows 10 in http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=46 .
