Seting default initial settings for users.

Audacity Help Forum Windows

I am deploying Audacity on an RDP/Citrix environment.

The users need to record in Mono @ 16KB.

I would like to set these options for them before they start to use the product.

Is there any way to do this for them?

Cheers

Rob

Preferences are stored in the audacity.cfg file.
The default sample rate, sample format and number of recording channels can be set in preferences.
See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/devices_preferences.html
and http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/quality_preferences.html

Further to Steve’s reply, if you need to force load those settings in case the users change them, this is what needs to be set in the audacity.cfg settings file: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/preferences.html#stored.

[AudioIO]
RecordChannels=1
[SamplingRate]
DefaultProjectSampleRate=16000

Problem is that the “cfg” does not exist until they have started Audacity for he first time.

Obviously, but you could write a script to create/overwrite that file with your preferred settings when the user logs in.
