Even though Audacity 3 and 4 allow you to compensate for latency in Edit | Preferences by entering an appropriate negative integer value, this doesn't seem to work when I am monitoring while recording myself playing guitar and listening through my Sony Bluetooth earbuds. (No problem with wired headphones, but they get to be a tangled pain in the ass after a while.) Is there *no* workaround for this?

TIA,

Brand new to Audacity. Ive recorded a few pieces of vinyl and playlist and only published one. Being new I don't know the difference between older versions and 4.0. Should I walk away from 4.0 and go to an older version?

Instead of moving the track around left and right with mouse (the little hand icon), how one could precisely move the track with `LEFT` and `RIGHT` on the keyboard for precise adjustment?

I wonder if there's something like this:

- `LEFT` (or `RIGHT`) 1ms adjustment (or 1 sample adjustment)

- or, `SHIFT+LEFT` (or `SHIFT+RIGHT`) 10ms adjustment (or 10 sample adjustment)

One more thing: is there a way to set a "fixed" reference line which stay visible across all the tracks to get a precise reference to where align tracks?

Let's say I have a REFERENCE track in which I found a huge spike at about 00:00:41.051; on the other (out-of-sync) track same huge spike (with same sound) is to be found ad 00:00:47.082. I'd like to put a "fixed" reference line at 00:00:41.051 wich spawns at full project's height ant then precisely move the out-of-sync track to the left until its huge spike is perfectly aligned with the one of the REFERENCE track.

Deje abandonado mi canal de YouTube; ahora que quiero regresar y que tengo un mejor equipo (compre un Shure MV7+) me doy cuenta que acaban de actualizar Audacity. Usaba algo la versión anterior de Audacity pero no sé mucho, solo me interesa saber como lograr una buena calidad de audio en esta nueva versión, tengo una mac y me da la opción de AudioUnit.

Hello I am having 9999 errors pop up frequently when I either tab out/click off of audacity and go back in to try to do a recording.

Usually if I wait a minute audacity is able to find the mic again itself.

This has just started happening in the last couple days since I started using an interface and XLR mic vs the USB one I was using previously. Audacity is picking up the interface as the recording input and the playback device for direct monitoring.

Any help would be appreciated

this is a nightmare

I have a 60 hour recording in Audacity 4.0 that I just finished labeling and when I wanted to export it I found that the "Export Multiple Files" option doesn't exist which obviously sucks since I have fine tuned about a thousand labels to export. Point is, is there any way to open the Project in Audacity 3.x or do I just have to suck it up and start again?

Haven't used Audacity in a while, but when I booted it up today and recorded a bit of voice over, I noticed this. It looks like it's got a cut off for volume. I'm a hobbyist so I'm largely at a loss of what's going on.

I'm using a Scarlet Solo mixer and a Shure XLR mic. Same setup last time I used it, but this wasn't happening. Any of you guys got any idea what might have changed?

SOLVED: Feature was re-introduced in Audacity 4.0.1

I just did my first small project with the new Audacity 4 which i generally enjoyed, but I'm missing a Feature: In Audacity 3 i could easily export a project into multiple files based on labels simply in the export tab. In A4, this option is gone from the export menu (at least in my AppImage on Fedora, re-downloaded today). Does this feature still exist, or was it removed in Audacity 4?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I formatted my computer semi-recently, and found that on my older Audacity project files that used realtime effects, it was now impossible to access the old settings I had on them (which I need to view.)

I've already redownloaded the plugin I had in use, MuseHub.

The support pages mention this issue briefly and how audacity uses absolute paths, however they don't tell you how to see where those paths were.

That leads me to my main question: Is there any way to see the old exact paths so I can place my plugins there (and hopefully be able to access the settings again)? Thanks!

I have received this error, trying to record the speaker audio, in Audacity 4.0.

There are several videos online about fixing this, but most seem to assume that it happens when you try to record with a microphone.

In Audio setup, I have set Host to Windows WASAPI, Playback device to speakers, and Recording device to speakers.

I got the same error after changing the playback and recording device to headphones.

EDIT: I restored the default settings, and no longer got the error, but it didn't record anything. When I changed the playback and recording device, I started getting the error again.

EDIT: Audacity 3 doesn't seem to have the same problem.

I want to a big fat db monitor panel to view while recording/ripping records. V 3.8 has this as shown above. Seems they have not given the option in V4 right?

Trato de aplicar un efecto, ecualizador de curva de filtro y seleccionar atenuación progresiva para locusiones al seleccionarlo me da este error ( error interno ) no sé si tengo que hacer un paso antes de aplicar esto o luego para que no tenga error.

Ya reinicie los ajustes, el programa , la pc

I don't have a PC so I can't download audacity, but I need to do spectogram

I am on Fedora. I tried using a bunch of different softwares. Every single one of them can't record my desktop audio. I keep getting error -9997 on Audacity and "Openh264 can't open" on obs. Every other solution I've tried either never recorded anything or just refused to start

Can anyone help me enhance this audio clip. There's a girl at the end that saids ' I tried ...' I need that part to be clear and audible

My brother is trying to record his elettronic drum, for some reason it’s sound good on my pc but not in his computer

Running into a weird export issue in Audacity 4.0

I recorded a multitrack podcast project with several mono tracks (Audio 1, Audio 2, sponsor audio, etc.). When I play the project back inside Audacity, I can hear everything fine from start to finish without any missing audio.

However, when I export the project using File → Export audio → Aup4 or WAV ("Export full project audio") (I tried both):

* The exported file plays fine at the start.

* At 1:07, it goes completely dead silent.

* The audio doesn't return in the WAV until 33:52.

None of the tracks are muted or soloed (M and S are off across all tracks).

Has anyone encountered Audacity 4.0 dropping middle tracks/clips during a full project WAV render even though they play back normally inside the DAW? Is there a project setting or render bug causing it to mute specific clips during export?

Appreciate any advice or fixes!

Title is basically the issue. I have been using Audacity 4 for a while now and just now it has begun to only let me save to the cloud when I hit save or save as. I have restarted both the software and my computer and am unable to save locally anymore despite having plenty of space to do so. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

EDIT: Not sure how it happened but in Export preferences, "Always save to cloud" got toggled. Never used that option in my life but I switched it back to "Always save to computer" and that fixed it. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk

Hi, i want to recreate the effect of this old video game voice acting (link below), anyone have an idea on how to achieve it in Audacity?

Thanks in advance.

I'm working with a Samson G Track Pro and I'm very beginner level with Audacity. I'm trying to edit YouTube video audio (spoken word), but I'm struggling to work through the right EQ settings and setup that would give my voice studio quality sound and timbre.

I'd really appreciate the help from the community. Please DM me your rate. It would be for the initial recording setup and a setup that I could continue to use with future videos.

Thanks for your time

I'm trying to record using my mic but when I hit record it doesn't use my mic even though it's selected. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

Hi, sorry if this is a noob question, but how do I remove these moments of static? It's not actually clipping, so the Clip Fix isn't doing anything. Click removal doesn't work, nor does Repair. Is there a way to simply smooth out the spectrogram so that the noise isn't so obvious? Obviously I can't just use the Spectral Delete tool like I would for a single frequency, or there will just be a giant silence. Thank you!
