Issues syncing projects between machines

I have a reasonably big project (40 tracks) that I work on from two locations. Each location syncs the file set (Project.aup, everything in Project_data folder tree) to the same cloud drive. Nobody else works on it, and it is supposed to work in this sequence: - go to work - sync from cloud to work ...

Re: audacity command line access

If this thread is still alive, my vote would be for access to the export functions: audacity MyProject /exportWAV "Backing Vocals Track" /exportWAV "Lead Vocals Track" audacity MyProject /exportWAV * where the tracks were referenced by their track name and the files were written to the current folde...

Re: Improvements to track management

You can shrink it a little bit further ;-)

the problem then is you have no active area to grab onto for moving tracks vertically

Re: Improvements to track management

RE: drag-and-drop destination. I agree with your comments about the need to preserve consistent behaviour. I was a little confused initially between the current track (yellow border) and the selected track (light background), but when I found I couldn't get yellow borders around multiple tracks I fi...

Re: Improvements to track management

OK, I'm a little red-faced in that most of what I was on about already in the software! Thanks for taking the time to RTFM for me. I do think the rearrangement of the control panel is still worth considering. I like the Shift-P, Shift-G for access to those settings. Small point: I tried this key seq...

Feature Request - tooltip hinting of track name

The space allocated for annotating the track name in the left-hand control panel is minimal. https://www.dropbox.com/s/47m9t8zgav48v88/Audacity3.png?raw=1 I notice that there is already a tooltip functional for the drop-down menu control (it says "Open menu..."). It would be a useful change if it co...

Improvements to track management

I find the management of tracks a bit cumbersome sometimes in projects that have many tracks. Issue : when tracks are added by drag-and-drop, they always go to the bottom of the stack. Suggestion : When an existing track is selected, incoming drag-and-drop tracks are inserted immediately underneath ...

Re: Audacity always wants to mix to mono

<redface>doh!</redface> I had actually done a mono export a little while back - I guess this was the first time I had tried it since then. I was guilty of failing one of the golden rules of bug analysis: "Did you do anything different that last time you used it?" Many thanks for taking the time to r...

Audacity always wants to mix to mono

Using v2.3.3 on Win64 This issue has never occurred before and has me puzzled. I wanted to add an 8-beat "count-in" click track to an existing MP3. I added the stereo MP to the project and created a separate click track. Whenever I try to mix down to MP3 I get this dialog: https://www.dropbox.com/s/...
