Bug report - Macros not applying Change Pitch

Audacity Version: 2.3.0
OS: Windows 10 64 bit
Bug: Macros not applying Change Pitch

Hi!

I just updated my old version of Audacity 2.2.2 to 2.3.0 and right away I noticed that my Chains (Macros) which have Change pitch in the chain are not working. All the other commands in the chain work except for Change Pitch.
It works if I just created the macro, or when I change the parameters of the command in the macro and apply it, but if I close Audacity, reopen it and apply the macro, it doesn't work.

I'm going back to 2.2.2 until the bug is fixed.

Thanks!

Testing on 2.3.0 on my W10 laptop I find that Change pitch in a Macro runs correctly - applied either to the current project or to an audio file.

1) You are aware that you will need to set the parameters for Change Pitch in the Macro ?

2) Also if you are applying the macro to an existing audio file you need to be aware that the Macro will not alter the audio file.
Rather you need to include an Export command as the last step before the End in the Macro - and then the new pitch-changed file will be in a folder called "cleaned" in the same folder as the original audio file and with the same name as the original audio file.

Ahhhh - but then when I went on to test on the latest alpha 2.3.1 I see what the real bug is …

I) So you carefully set the parameters you require in your Macro - all works fine
2) Exit Audacity
3) relaunch Audacity
4) Observe that the paramaters have been reset to 0% change

This of course means that the Macro will run properly but produce null effect.

AFAIK Audacity is supposed to remenber the settings you make in the macro when you set it up - so this, to me, looks like a bug and I shall be logging it on our bugtracker.

Good catch yared_cf

I'll need to check the other Change commands in Macros.

Thanks for reporting this,

Peter.

Change Speed and Change Temp are not affected in the same way

But as you have observed this is a regression on 2.2.0 (where the parameter settings are correctly remembered) and therefore will become a P1 bug which should be fixed before 2.3.1 can be released.

I've committed a fix for this, so provided that the fix tests satisfactorily on all platforms, it will be fixed in the Audacity 2.3.1 release.

And this tests OK on my W10 laptop
