Audacity Forum

It’s a little late for those of us who have upgraded already.

I think I posted once before that Audacity isn't the only nasty surprise that bubbled up at the Catalina update.

It is possible under extreme circumstances to roll your Mac back to Mojave. I understand the rollback is slightly less painful than kidney stones.

I wonder how many people showed up at the Apple store whimpering about a job gone wrong. Remember were talking about extreme creative people who have a hard time operating a ball point pen—and who have paid support. It seems I'm ragging on them, but these are the same people that can tell you exactly, with no question that color something should be. One of the creatives came over to visit and started re-arranging stuff on my coffee table. When they left, it looked a lot better than it did when they got here. I still can't tell you what they did.

I don't have a picture, but I got to do a short demonstration during a Hollywood production meeting. I think I counted one Windows machine.

Scary.

I’m not nearly as savvy as you. I just want to fire up Audacity, hit “line in” or something easy, and record.

It's becoming handier and handier to fire up your stand-alone sound recorder and press Record instead of trying to force your computer to do it.



It's not going to stop working because of an update.

True, but the quality is not the same.

Maybe it is. That's not a cheap MP3 note-taker voice recorder. "Remember to bring home milk and eggs." It's a 24/96 production sound recorder that burns perfect-quality, uncompressed WAV files.

It doesn't depend on computer operating system support to crank out good quality voice tracks.
