There has been no more work on this recently.

Of course if you compile Audacity you can try the patch yourself. If the patch no longer compiles then you can checkout Audacity from the time of the patch then it will compile. Here is some help with compiling: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Building_On_Mac .

Thanks. However I'm not a programmer.

Neither am I. But I can still compile Audacity using http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Building_On_Mac .

Hello, as per my IP
Does anyone know whether channel mapping now possible on Audacity for Mac ?

Not possible unless you build Audacity.

If you want to know about new features in releases I suggest you sign up to our announcements list at the bottom of http://audacityteam.org then look in the advertised Release Notes for each new version.

Can someone compile channel mapping for me?
I'll pay.
Garage band is driving me nuts. Basic cut & paste etc etc can''t find how to do
Audacity is much nicer to use

Are you sure that patch does what you want? Read its description carefully. It was not a finished patch. You will have to quit Audacity then modify audacity.cfg in TextEdit using the correct syntax to set the channel mapping.

If the patch no longer compiles with current Audacity then it will be time consuming for someone who regularly compiles Audacity to go back to Audacity at the time of the patch. To begin with they will have to recompile the previously supported version of wxWidgets.

You may be better to send a PM to the developer who wrote the patch and encourage him to resume work on it.

Dear Gale
Thanks for your reply
I've no idea what you are saying as I'm not technical.
What patch are you referring to ?
I'm not aware of a patch to make input mapping possible on the Mac.
Not sure I even know what a patch is !
& I don't know a developer.

Can't you remap inputs in the routing matrix in Saffire MixControl?

Or has my memory gone bonkers again and is this only available on the newer units?

Hi, Does anyone know if it's now possible to map inputs on the latest version of Audacity ?
