Maybe this will help. It shows you how to search/browse for applications that don't show-up automatically.

I don't have Windows 8... I had a similar issue with Win7, but I don't remember the solution...

I would like to set audacity as the default program for mp3 files. I have version 2.0.4 and am running windows 8. I tried to change the default program but windows 8 will not allow me to even search for audacity but insists on their programs or another app. Is there any way to do this? I am trying t...

Even without Audacity running, you only hear one channel through the computer? That could be a defective soundcard, or a Windows setting. I'd go into the Windows Control Panel and check your settings first. Although you've connected to Line-In, some souncards have software-configurable inputs/output...

Yes, it was in the Effect Menu, when checked in preferences and had Audacity scan for plugins. Never got a registry error with r1257, even with all plugins check for scanning. This was actual working of the plugins on a recording. First I set it up so that the plugins wouldn't load, next I loaded th...

I'm new to Audacity. I'm using OS X 10.8.2, Audacity 2.0.4, I used the .dmg installer I am trying to use Audacity to make sure my audio book narration files meet the specs required by ACX (Audible.com). I submitted a sample mp3 file created on Garage Band to Audible and they said :" ACX require...

Well, I already thought of labelling the start time. But labels are text, not numbers, and I would like to identify all the following events by their exact time of occurence. Of course I could take the exact occurence time, substract the start time, and search for that difference in Audacity, but it...

The creepy effect where it sounds like a voice is manifesting itself from thin air (like in nocturne.move1, for example) is a trick used by putting the Echo effect "backwards" on the voice. Try using reverb rather than echo, [the effect is also called "reverse reverb" ]. Obadia ...

Dear programmers, I'm in search of a few minutes stretch of Brownian noise, which needs to be quite controlled. For that purpose, I would like to ask how is the Brownian noise created in Audacity. I'm not a programmer, but being a physicist I can read Matlab (though perhaps not Nyquist) code, and wi...

Thanks for the help. According to ACX, my audio file measured -24dB RMS with peaks at -0.1dB, so I guess that means it was slightly louder and slightly softer at various points than what they require. Sounds like Audacity might be able to help. I will search this forum to see if this issue has been ...

You could search for the marks with a hex editor. Each mp3 frame has its own header (which isn't there after decoding, that's why you'll don't see anything in the waveform). one frame is about 1152 samples or so long. There are programs that can display the individual frame information. If you can l...
