Re: How do I run two timer recordings at the same time?

I was hired by a company to do something almost exactly like this and it turned out that the best solution was to "trick" Audacity into running two copies of itself at the same time. I can do that by logging in as two separate users and having instances of Audacity under each user - the t...

If another vote might make it work out, please do.
Done - but don't hold your breath (we are a very small part-time volunteer team with fewer developers that the fingers of one hand).

Re: How to get tags in when batch exporting as they actually are

I am sure there is a reason why Audacity does things the way it does (copy the file and not the tags), but I can't figure it out. It doesn't make sense to me. When you Export Multiple based on tracks (rather than labels) what Audacity does is to base the exported filename on the track name in the t...

Re: project and file naming conventions

Her's an example for you - the folder taxonomy that I created when I started out with Audacity a dozen or so years ago - and it's served me well over that time:

Re: Insert new track between existing ones

For users with many tracks I can see it could be useful to be able to insert a track at a defined position in the project. The problem would be how do you define the position? The obvious way is to add it after the currently selected track. But what do you do if you have more than one track selected...

Re: How to get tags in when batch exporting as they actually are

You would need a Macro that
a) managed to capture the required metadata text
b) uses that text as the output filename for an export

I'm no expert with Macros, but I suspect that b) is possible - but a) may not be.

Any other workarounds on this?
Sorry no ...

This issue will be fixed in the next release 2.4.0 scheduled for the end of March (I have been QA testing it on my Macbook Pro with 10.15.2 and latterly 10.15.3 where it records fine with no Terminal app workaround required.
