It is certainly "historical" - 1.0.0 only had "New Audio Track" so that concept was not renamed when adding a menu item to add a stereo track.

I don't think it very important but I agree it would be more consistent to change it to "Mono Track".

Only you can test the "optimum value" but as a suggestion, test with music recordings into line-in at home and set the buffer as low as it will go while still recording the music properly. You can then try keeping that setting for church. If that setting is too low, you can turn it up agai...

You have Windows default playback device set to Speakers (Creative SB X-Fi) so your song on the internet will play to that device. But you have Audacity's recording device set to Realtek Stereo Mix. Realtek cannot capture the song playing on X-Fi - it can only capture the song if it was playing to R...

That noise is "normal" with USB devices. You have not recorded loud enough to mask the noise. Your words should be up to +/- about 0.5 on the blue waves. Do you have the mic slider turned up in Audacity? http://manual.audacityteam.org/m/images/2/2b/MixerToolbarWithoutInputSelect.png Gale

But as I said, the standard MP3 format does not support more than stereo. As I said, to export as multi-channel you can export as WAV or ...

RESOLVED: I decided to open the file in itunes, then drag it out again to my desktop, then open it in audacity, and I have no idea why, but it stopped doing it. Importing the file again will remove clips and split lines. To avoid issues, quit Audacity, open Finder, Go > Go to Folder, and type: ~/Li...

Were you replying to a deleted post, Steve? Or you want "Audio Track" renamed to "Mono Track"?

Now it's claiming that an m4a file is an "Advanced Audio Coding File" that cannot be accepted by Audacity; it needs to be "converted to a supported audio format, such as WAV or AIFF." Not correct, assuming you are using the current Audacity 2.1.0 from http://audacityteam.org/dow...
