I am using version 2.4.2 and when I record the sound waves no longer appear on the screen, it's blank. On the playback the sound waves do appear, but it is very weird to record and not see them.

And by the way, it took me lots of searching around just to discover how to do a simple thing like start a new topic. And I noticed that several other people had the same problem that I did. Whoever designed this could have done us all a BIG favor and made it a whole lot easier by just putting the selection "New Topic" right there on the home page. Doesn't that seem logical? Why must we hunt and peck and send emails and waste a lot of time just to be able to post a new topic? This really needs to be fixed.

Audio Track Missing

Post by Lionel53 » Sun Jan 17, 2021 7:53 pm

I have the 2.4.2 version. When I record the Audio Track is no longer visible. During playback it becomes visible, but when I record it is blank. How do I fix this?

Sometimes, at the bottom of a post, I'll see:

When I click on this link, it is redirected here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/

Do you mean for it instead to go here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq.html

Yes. The URL has changed since I set that up. Should be fixed now. (it may take a bit of time for caches to update)
