Mine got changed recently, I'm guessing as a result if a Microsoft update. Suddenly Audacity could no longer see my external USB souncard, I had to reactivate it as Larry suggests.

Re: Practical support for stroke victim

I improved the instructions for installing on a Mac for the alpha Manual for the upcomung 2.1.3 release See: http://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Installing_and_updating_Audacity_on_Mac_OS_X Note carefully that this unreleased Manual has material in it that does not relate to the released 2.1.2 v...

Re: Pinned Playback Head

I find that if I zoom out at least two levels from default zoom level then the scrolling looks a lot smoother 8-)

Re: Audacity won't let me edit anything!!!!!

Oh and thanks for that nudge Travis - it made me go and check whether I had updated the 2.1.3 Manual for this - and I hadn't 8-)

Re: Audacity won't let me edit anything!!!!!

T ... I feel dumb :lol: No you're not dumb - it's us that are dumb for letting this issue linger for so many years now. ;) It catches many, many folk out (even me sometimes after 10 years intensive Audacity use) - at the very least we could have helped users by giving an error/warning message when ...

Re: Audacity won't let me edit anything!!!!!

Almost certainly you are in Pause mode rather than Stop. Press the Orange suare Stop button in the Transport Toolbar.

This is a long-standing issue which has at last been fixed for the upcoming 2.1.3 release.

Re: Transferring LPs to computer

As Doug says - and it is extremely likely that the electronics in your Project device is likely to be of a far higher standard than the onboard soundcard in your PC.

Re: No IN(UA-1EX) on Device Toolbar

If we're talking about the Roland/Edirol UA-1EX, isn't that an ASIO device? Yes, if you install its drivers, but it's class compliant without the drivers, and I think the drivers include WDM support as well as ASIO. waxcylinder has (or had) one of these for use with Audacity. There are no UA-1EX dr...

Re: Audacity Cutting Peaks on Right Channel

The solution in the end was to buy a new phono-preamp. I have settled on the ART USB Phono Plus V2 Phono Preamp with USB (Thanks DVDdoug!). This seems like a suffice enough bit of kit, and i didn't want to go through with the mentioned adaptor-cable issue with the phono-preamps I mentioned before. ...
