Audacity Forum

Yes, I believe that you are right - Audacity apperas to act differently in 1.2 and in 1.3 - I have just tested in both. In 1.2 Audacity appears to totally ignore the selection and will only move one track at a time with the Time-Shift tool. Even if you select the whole project with CTRL-A, even then...

You can't have two Audacities open at once. Koz More accurately, you can't have two 1.2 Audacities open - in 1.3 you can. Nor can you open a 1.3 and then a 1.2. I'm not sure how robust the data structures are for heavy multiple use in 1.3 - but I do use it sometimes for cutting and pasting bewteen ...

Comcon,

I just tested again and I definitely do get that box - BUT I am now using 1.3 all the time.

Update: I did find an old 1.2.4 recording and re-saved that and did not get the elapsed/remaining time box - so maybe it's a 1.3/1.4 additional feature?

Can't comment on the Linx/Unix variant - but on Widows XP-HE it works fine (except the interface has some litlle glitches - e.g. th waiting to record dialog box is still present long after the recording has finished)

kdoc, I have posted a copy of your extended explanation back to your original thread where it belongs, link to it here: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3219&p=12683#p12683 Please don't double-post, or diverge threads - it makes the forum very difficult to follow. And pleas...

Relocating kdoc's post from another disparate thread - where this thread theme was replicated OK let's get more specific. Here's what I do. I drag the cursor from the beginning of one track down through the tracks below it, to the end of the last track I want to move. (Or I shift click two or more ...

Many of us use external USB soundcards with very good results. I myself use the Edirol UA-1EX for LP/tape/MD transcription and recording from FM. The other card that gets mentioned a lot on the forum is the Behringer UCA202. The Edirol is more expensive than the Behringer, but has a few more feature...

In order to re-set the rate in the dropdown (and indeed to export MP3) you need to have LAME installed properly and have Audacity pointing at it.

See the sticky thread at the top of the 1/2 Windows section http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=796

Yes, you can try reducing the exported bitrate of the MP3 - Audacity default is 128 (which is the minimum for proper music). For a ringtone you should be ok going a bit lower.

Go to Edit > Preferences > File Formats - you should see a drop-down which will let you reset the MP3 bitrate.
