Audacity Forum

I have a song file with 30+ tracks and need to insert 10 seconds at the start of all of the tracks. I tried selecting all tracks (ctrl A) which highlights all tracks grey and then using time shift function f5 with left/right arrow cursor showing as normal but nothing would move. Is there a preferenc...

Hi, steve, here is an audio sample with the same settings on my macbook pro (EXCEPT audacity greyed out recording inputs on the audacity software whereas they were 90/100 on the pc recording). Also, I meant to say that the focus button "focuses" on the highs and mids. Woops. cyrano, this i...

Hello,

I was wondering how to search for sound that went over a certain sound level. I like to record myself when I sleep to listen for any sleep talk, and I feel like this would make it finding any sleep-talk a lot simpler for me.

Yes, it is true I am only concerned at this point in my WAV files. And I am not sold only on Audacity to change the loudness of the music. I am happy to use WaveGain. In fact for what I am doing it is quite a bit faster. My questions are more pointed to having the most precise reproduction of the fi...

Sorry for posting such simple question but ;) when I search the forum for "keyboard" ;) I get the musical instrument! I just upgraded to 2.1.2 and I noticed that my keyboard definitions have reverted to defaults. Is there a way to restore them from the previous version of Audacity? Also, I...
