Re: Cannot record since windows update

Check that Windows has not turned off/made unavailable uour sound input devices as part of the upgrade.

When mine was updated recently I found that the microphone and stereo mix both had to be reenabled.

Re: Recording problems

Are you using WASAPI aa your host in Audacity (with loopback recording)? If so than the non=starting before the input stream becomes live is a Windows WASAPI "feature" and Audacity can do nothing about thtat. Depending on your PC you may have "Stereo Mix" available as an inpuy if...

Re: help me,problem window?

I have AUDACITY 2.1.3, in Windows 10. . I want to save audio clips for editing purposes. So far the only way I seem to be able to do this is to literally save slips as individual files, bring them up and cut or paste when needed. Does Audacity have a separate Clipboard feature to store audio clips?...

Re: editing question on inserting space

Hi Frank, I don't know what DC offset is Weel if you're really interested ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_bias :geek: I'm pretty sure it can't be corrected on my mid-range turntable, mid-range pre-amp or consumer grade USB dongle. I'm pretty sure you're tight ;) But, I did use the Normalize fun...

Re: editing question on inserting space

For a start it looks like you have DC offset on your signal (observe that the waveform is not centred on the zero line) - you can correct this by using the Normalize effect - just select the DC offset checkbox and uncheck the amplification (unless you also want your amplification) - but it does mean...

Re: Timer Record Problem

My fuzzy impression reading these posts is Audacity Timer Record does not fail. Audacity itself fails and starts blowin' spit bubbles. I suspect you're right Koz - and James suspects so too, but he can see no underlying cause in the underlying timer mechanisms that Timer Record rests upon - he does...

Re: Timer Record Problem

Hi Sleepy John, the developer involved is busy for most of the next week so it may be next weekend before we can provide a test build. It will just be a link for a download of the test build, just like a normal install - and then it'll be just down to using that Audacity as normal - on Timer Record....

Re: Timer Record Problem

sleepy john, I've been discussing this bug with one of the developers, he still doesn't understand why this happens, but he has his suspicions and has an idea for a change to the code that may make this problem go away. If he develops such a "fix" would you be prepared to test it for us - ...

Re: "Not Responding" and very long delays.

Trying to get that timer delay-start to work is not so much of an issue but it would be interesting to see why it never worked for me. Emerogork, I've been discussing this bug with one of the developers, he still doesn't understand why this happens, but he has his suspicions and has an idea for a c...

Re: USB turntable " Built-In input" issues

Did you connect and turn on the USB turntable before starting Audacity? If not you can deal with that by using the Transport > Rescan Audio Devices command. I note from the Manual for your TT that the manufacturer appears to shop a very old version of our software (you can tell by the meters) - the ...
