"but that expects a single 1/8 inch plug carrying both left and right channels": Do you mean that the plugs in each of two slots (Line In and Mic) must be stereo? Audacity can only record from one input source at a time. So if you want to input the recording into the built-in sound card t...

I now removed audacity and audicity-data completely and asked the synaptic package manager to install audacity. I get an alpha version again. You should open Software and Updates (probably in Settings) and make sure you have removed any Audacity PPA's that are listed on the "Other software&quo...

Hello, I am in need to find out how the channels in an Audacity 8 channel export to a .wav file are designated in a 7.1 surround sound file? I have successfully exported my channels but the LFE/Subwoofer channel keeps appearing on one of the other surround sound files. Here is my current arrangemen...

via Behringer U202 from a stereo. Is that UCA 202? I thought I could control the recording volume with the slider by the mic. If not, this station has been within an acceptable volume range. But the last time or two I have used it the slider is all the way to the left and cannot be used. The way it...

Yes the mic is stereo but its manual http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/resource_library/literature/6d950b0ddc78b1e4/p52494_atr6250_user_manual.pdf confirms that the two 1/8 inch plugs are to be connected to left and right inputs of a stereo recording device. You have a stereo input jack (line in - b...

The version is, as I said in my last post, Audacity 2.1.0-alpha-Jan 20 2015. It was automatically installed by the Ubuntu Update manager. That happens quite offen, nearly daily. I've known it happen on older Ubuntu versions even if you merely enable additional sources in "Software and Updates&...

Yes, aiding discoverability of CTRL + click is one strong advantage I see of making it a Preference for now. I think it's acceptable to have that Preference off by default. When we get a decent seek/scrub/quick-play interface, I would expect it could usefully have one or two preferences, so I don't ...

I want to research better ways to do this that don't take so much compute time. What's the "this" there, Paul? Do you mean you think both effects are too slow to publish on the Wiki yet? Although certain standards are needed to publish on the Wiki, ultimate perfection is not required. At ...

is there anyway for me to disable the ability to edit on a whole and only record? It kinda defeats the whole purpose for Audacity, but the program is simply way more stable and dependable than Sound Recorder. Modern versions of Sound Recorder (for Vista and later) can't record to WAV but record to ...

I moved this from the Windows board as it may be of more interest here. I decided to make a Podcast and everything went well. Very easy to do. Bought a nice mic. Great sound quality. I exported the file as a .WAV and it is 438MB for 43 min worth of audio. I have 4 clips of background music. Each is ...
