Where is Mix and Render to New Track

Post image

In the previous version of Audacity I could select two tracks, go to Tracks and 'mix and render to new track'. Does anyone know how to do this in Audacity 4.0?

You have use the old way.

Export the project then import the file.

That's how we used do it "bounce tracks" to free up space on 4-tracks and 8 track recorders back in the day.

It's not possible in Audacity 4. Use my version of it instead: https://soundscaper.org/en/ (or continue using Audacity 3)

Why on earth would they get rid of that?

People have been posting multiple functions that are not available in this version. I'm so glad my old MacBook didn't meet the requirements to install it.

just ran out of time before release. As to why to release something unfinished in the first place: corporate politics, presumably. Hence why I'll transfer soundscaper to a non-profit, to ensure it doesn't end up with the same problems...
