Audacity & apple new update

Post by ibojan » Wed Nov 06, 2019 11:07 pm

Hi,

So I have done the same steps in opening audacity via the terminal but:

1) do I have to always paste the link/code line ---- open /Applications/Audacity.app/Contents/MacOS/Audacity ---
into the terminal?

2) the microphone is ticked with audacity and terminal but still no recording?!

It recorded before then everything stopped?


Many thanks in advance

What's happening? A "flat line" recording?

What are you trying to record, and what equipment are you using?

I'm confused. How did you launch Audacity for your first post in this thread?

Hi Steve,

first, I read the first ticket here on how to open which was via terminal and pasting the code to open and then ticked the privacy settings for the future. I then shut down my mac and when I turned it next time, I repeated the same steps but it keeps giving me a flat line and doesn't record.

I am not sure what have I done wrong and if there is a video to follow, it would be gratefully appreciated!

Best

So does Audacity run, or not?
