Hello All,
I am a long time user of Audacity and appreciate all the hard work that goes into maintaining it.
I am using Audacity 2.3.3 on Ubuntu 19.10 and have noticed editing is more tedious in this release. For example, and part of this may be just my habits, but I have two monitors one with a spreadsheet with numbers, and the other with the Audadity program. In previous versions, I just went to the spreadsheet “ctl C” the number, then go to Audacity, generate, and “ctrl v” to past the number into either tone or chirp.
This doesn’t work anymore. Often I copy from the spreadsheet paste and the number in either tone or chirp is unchanged. It takes up to three attempts to get the correct number into Audacity tone or chirp, and my confidence in the integrity of the numbers has been shaken.
Unfortunately for me, I am very quick at this process and it is causing me lots of mistakes.
BTW: I have dual boot Ubuntu 19.10 and Windows 10 Pro, and Audacity 2.3.3 exhibits similar behavior when performing the same transition process. Editing often consists of a hundred or more mono tracks, each with a precise odd harmonic. Using my long tested editing technique I have been able to make an mp3 file with a hundred frequencies in about 15 minutes. With great confidence I sat down to make one today, and I am one an a half hours into editing and not finished.
I love Audacity for this kind of physics experimentation. Creating these files by any other method takes even longer yet. Thanks for the hard work, I know it is tedious and time consuming as what we do here…Phil
