Audacity Forum

Python is only required if you want to build the Manual. Audacity will run without the Manual. The developers are reluctant to handhold those compiling Audacity so it's unlikely you'll succeed unless you are prepared to search.

I'm working with several colleagues doing audio mixing for podcasting, movies, etc. and ran into a problem: Audacity writes absolute links for external dependencies. Naturally, I could copy the files into the Audacity project data folder to compartmentalize the data, but that's inefficient. We're ta...

Hi Id like to work on a plug-in to allow spectrum analysis of wow & flutter, but as to my limited skills, both in Nyquist coding as well as in digtal signal processing I could need same help. :) My aim is to prepare a given sound file of approximate 30 sec length - containing a record of a testt...

I am attempting to rip the music track from an opera DVD for my fiend to use for rehearsal of a dance piece she is setting. I saw in a Google search that it could be done with Audacity "if you knew how to do it". I don't. I'd appreciate being pointed to where I can find that information. ...

I don't see how an audio editor (Audacity) is going to help you with that. And, this sounds like a programming task. There is an LRC file format that "tags" each line of text with a time code for synchronizing lyrics when you play a song. There are similar formats for creating video subtit...

I am looking at a way from my program to jump into the middle of an audio recording and play a short clip, maybe 5 sec. I have a large audio speech library with the audio files and the transcribed texts. My purpose is to search the audio file for a particular text clip. I will have an approximate st...

Hi all, I'm having some trouble compiling Audacity on Mint Linux. It's giving me an error when I run ./configure which says that it cannot locate the wxWidgets library. I've successfully built and installed wxWidgets 2.8 (I understand that it doesn't yet work with 3.0, correct?) and upon installatio...

Sorry about double posting. First time on here. Thank you both for your suggestions. My husband has been trying to figure it out by going into the audio/sound program in the computer but can't seem to find anything that would be changing/distorting the files. Not saying that Audacity did this but wh...

I am currently new with Audacity, using windows 8, and Audacity 2.0.5. I absolutely love the software and have been having a blast learning. I have searched FAQ's , but maybe I'm not wording my search question right. When I am working on a project with multiple tracks, i.e. 2 separate vocal tracks, ...
