I have had quite a bit of off-list feedback (and some on [email protected] too, IIRC) since Spectral Selection Toolbar was introduced that it is "un-necessary" and "too large" and that it would be better to display the low/high/centre frequencies of the spectral selection in the Spectro...

But as I said, many sighted folk don't want enabling spectral selection to turn on Spectral Selection Toolbar because of the screen estate it takes up. Yes, but you can then always turn it off it offends you - at least you know there is such a tool in the tool-box if it's presented to you that way ...

I feel exactly the same way about the many suggestions I've made.

Don't we all ...

Same goes for scrubbing too

In that case perhaps you should support my view that there should be a small widget displaying high and low frequency when in a waveform view. We already have a widget that displays the high and low frequency selection. It's called the "Spectral Selection Toolbar". Apparently Peter does n...

I expoert frequently for iTunes use. I prefer to manage the metadats (apart from the song names) in iTunes. I also prefewr to export to 16-bit WAV and use iTnes to make the compressed verrsion. I also archive the WAV files to extrnal USB disks. See this workflow I wrote for the Audacity Manual: http...

I had played a bit with spectral selection. So, I wasn't expecting to have to enable it in another fashion for Nyquist plugins. Spectral Selection is off by default. I would argue that is unhelpful for many people who want to use Spectrogram view. Especially when it is so hard to find where to turn...

I have been an Audacity user for a number of years and process the podcasts of all of my lectures using the software. That would be, to date, over a thousand lectures, most between 45 minutes and two hours in length. My workflow is consistent in Audacity. Unfortunately, I just installed the new rel...

Or as Eric Morecambe once said through gritted teeth to Andre Preview (Previn) in the famous sketch (now sadly blocked by dear old Aunty BBC on YouTube) :

Why is that? Same reason I use Mavericks instead of Yosemite. I have the entirely unfashionable idea that the software should do what I want instead of compulsively updating to the latest version and taking my chances. I have a little thrill watching people update to beta (or even alpha) software a...
