I just updated the program from 2.4 something to the latest version and right away noticed that I can’t Shift+Space as I used to which freaks me… Now I have to make selections every time and it doesn’t act as it used to… I can’t edit anything like that.
Is there a way to revert to the old option without downgrading the program? I noticed it now packs all the project files into 1 which is neat.
Thank you.
Unfortunately not.
Then could you please explain how it should work? How to use it? I want to loop from the playhead and play the whole thing afterwards, and sometimes select a part to loop. How can I achieve it without manually adjusting the loop area at the top every single time. I don’t even understand what the loop button does.
You and many others.
Here is the official documentation on the new looping feature: Redirecting to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpA138b-J9s. The looping section starts @1:24.
Yeah… The video is very generic…
Is there a way to achieve what I mentioned?
For instance, I want to play from the very end of the timeline and make Audacity loop right to the beginning afterwards. I can’t achieve it.
Ugh this is terrible it selects a random part from the beginning of the track… I never selected it…
Also it seems like both key combinations do the same… When I press Space it plays once and when I press Shift+Space it plays once
I select a part like I would normally do… and it loops a completely different part… I can’t be bothered to adjust the loop selection at the top every single time… Also, it’s less accurate because I want to click on the wave itself to select very specifically the part I want to loop
- “Ctrl + A” (select all)
- Click the “Loop” button (sets the loop region to the selection, and enables looping)
- Click on the Timeline (the time ruler near the top) at the place that you want to start playback.
- Press the “Space bar” to stop playback.
To turn off looping and return to normal playback, click the"Loop" button again.
