Re: Play at speed stop function not working

I don't see where in the Manual it says pressing the Play-at-Speed button will stop playing at sped. For that you need the Stop button in the normal transport toolbar (or its shortcut Spacebar ) At some stage we may work on integrating the Play-at-Speed functionality into the Transport toolbar - one...

Re: Request for Mixer level meters to show post-envelope

I've logged this in the Mixer Board section: Show post-envelope level (option): Allow the Mixer Board to show the actual level in the project when envelopes are present. Does that describe the feature adequately? This sounds a lot more like a bug than a "feature request" - I'm pretty sure this was ...

Re: Windows bug: adding a new track from file takes forever if done during playback

Testing on W10 wit 2.4.2 and the latest alpha test build I have for the upcoming 3.0.0 Dragging a .mp3 file from windows explorer into audacity takes normally a few seconds. However, if you already have one track, start playback of it and try to add a new one from dragged .mp3 file it will take *MUC...

Re: MIDI export

Or are you asking if Audacity can export MIDI as a playable audio file - a WAV or an MP3 say ?

If so, then Audacity cannot do that - and this would be a feature request.

Re: Why can't I enable iZotope vinyl to Audacity 2.4.2 running on my Windows 10 laptop?"

It's because Audacity is a 32-bit app and the iZotope Vinyl plug-in is now 64-bit. If you contact iZotope through their website they can still supply the old 32-bit version - they did this for another Forum poster recently. And I know it works as I have it on my PC with Audacity - it's a fun plug-in...

Re: Upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.4.2 showing wrong sample digits

@eisblau - this has been fixed for the upcoming 3.0.0 release of Audacity. I have just tested a fix that one of the developers made last night and I confirm that it works OK auf Deutsch now with Samples in the Selection Toolbar and the Timer toolbar. I cannot update our Bugzilla bug-tracker right no...

Re: Audacity Projects file format

In any event, if you simply Export a WAV file of your work, it's not technically perfect. Audacity will add a tiny bit of dither sound to it to help avoid distortion in the 32 bit to 16 bit conversion process. Audacity is not editing your original files. Audacity converts them to the Audacity inter...

Re: missing: Set 'Selection Point and Play': Ctrl + left-click

If you find that a feature is missing in a new release, it's worth looking in the "release announcement" on the Audacity website to see if it mentioned. The release announcement is usually on the home page of the website for a month or two from the release date - after that it can be found in the w...

At the very least, put a notice in the user GUI that FAT and ExFAT are not allowed.
That is what is likely to be happening.

Plus there will be stuff about it in the Manual (oh and the 3.0.0 Release Notes).
