Where is "label sounds" settings in 3.7?

[fred.fredex]

I’m running the flatpak version of 3.7 (on Rocky Linux) and want to use label sounds.

I found the spot in analyze > plugin manager to enable it, and checked the box. but I can’t find ANYWHERE the place where I would make the settings for the plugin and actually run it.

It is NOT located under edit > labels.

So, where is that located?

Thanks in advance!

surely there is SOMEONE here who has a clue on this!

Or is it simply missing when it should be somewhere, should I report it as a bug!

The menu items got moved around recently. “Label Sounds” should still be somewhere in the “Analyze” menu, though the exact location depends on the settings in “Preferences > Effects”.

On my computer, “Label Sounds” is here:

Steve, thanks for the reply!

The only thing I can find there is in Plugin Manager, a checkbox to enable “label sounds”. What that enables I can’t see. Where do I find the dialog for actually setting properties and then running it? I not infrequently want to label the tracks with silence between them, and there is (was on other versions I’ve used) a dialog for defining such properties. I can’t see it anywhere, and certainly not in the Analyze dropdown.

It seems that Nyquist effects are not available in your Flatpak version of Audacity. I’d suggest that you try the AppImage version from Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/

If that fixes the problem, then I’d suggest that you report the problem to wherever you got the Flatpak version from.

Thanks again, Steve, for the response.

Your theory sounds reasonable to me. bummer.

The reason I’m using the flatpak is because none of the “official” appimages will run on my computer. they all just crash during startup. I’ve posted about that before, but got no (helpful) answers.

I tried building from source, and it built with little trouble. And it ran fine, that is, until I tried to use an effect, at which point it just crashed.

there is an older one (3.13, I think) available from epel, so I guess I can fall back to that one.

I 'preciate that hand-holding, thanks again!
