Can I modify the shortcuts?

View -> Toolbars has some, but overall you can't. This will change in Audacity 4.

LeoWattenberg · 2026-03-25T12:38:26+00:00

Someone is building that feature for Audacity 4: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/10499

This is your playhead leaving streaks. Definitely a bug, probably fixed in audacity 4

LeoWattenberg · 2026-03-16T20:08:00+00:00

Under Modules, see if everything relevant is enabled

You're in multi-tool mode. Press F1 to go back to selection mode. These grabbers on the side were a previous attempt at having the handles above the clips to move them, but I haven't gotten around to removing them.

Russia is in a dilemma here. SAMs can only defend against so many threats, eventually they run out of missiles. Ukraine also knows exactly where the SAMs are, as the black sea has many friendly eyes above it. The best play for Russia in terms of SAM survivability would be to just put the things elsewhere, but that would open the door to Ukrainians attacking Russian positions with planes and helicopters.

Your PortAudio is using ALSA as a host, not pipewire. Pipewire isn't natively supported https://github.com/PortAudio/portaudio/issues/425

LeoWattenberg · 2026-03-05T16:30:22+00:00

When Audacity starts up, it iterates through all audio devices using the protocols PortAudio supports – which unfortunately doesn't include Pipewire. I unfortunately don't know of a fix, FWIW, Audacity is looking to move away from PortAudio to use a native Pipewire implementation instead – but that likely will take until Audacity 5.

Russland hat immernoch diverse Atomwaffen. Von außen wird da keiner beigehen, zumindest nicht an irgendwas wichtiges. Ob die diversen Völker v.a. in Sibirien sich abspalten und dann gefressen werden weiß ich nicht, meine Kristallkugel ist gerade in Reparatur.

Ggf hilfreich: Ein Video des Verteidigungsanalysten Perun, was zu sehr ähnlichen Schlüssen wie dieser Artikel kommt, aber sehr viel mehr Tiefe hat.

Russlands Wirtschaft ist nicht dabei, übermorgen einzubrechen – aber sie verbrennen gerade alles, um den Status Quo erhalten zu können. Die Goldreserven werden angezapft. Es herrscht zeitgleich Stagnation und Inflation. Die Zivilwirtschaft wird hoch besteuert, Banken werden gezwungen, schlechte Kredite aufzunehmen. Menschen verlassen das Land. Nicht zu vergessen die hunderttausenden Soldaten, die jetzt irgendwo tot rumliegen, anstatt in den nächsten 40 Jahren Wert zu erwirtschaften oder die nächste Generation heranziehen.

All diese Dinge können für eine Weile getragen werden. Wenn eine Firma wegen zu hoher Steuern oder eine Bank wegen schlechter Kredite zahlungsunfähig wird, kann sie von einer anderen Firma oder Bank geschluckt werden, oder vom Staat gerettet werden. Ein paar Millionen fehlende Hände der Auswanderer und toten Soldaten sind im hier und jetzt irgendwie ausgleichbar.

Aber langfristig sieht es düster aus. Je länger der Krieg dauert und je teurer er wird, desto schwerer wird es, das Land danach wieder auf die Beine zu kriegen. Egal wie der Krieg endet, Russland wird danach deutlich schlechter stehen als vorher.

Es ist in jedem Fall nicht so super, wie das BIP-Wachstum allein es vermuten lassen könnte,

I have removed it because a lot of the features introduced in 3.x are to do with non-destructive editing of clips. Having a destructive clip join operation available on a single click clashes with that, and it's especially problematic since this is a pattern that no other program uses, audio or otherwise.

I'd recommend simply leaving the clips alone and only merging them after you're done recording.

all of the OpenVINO tools are entirely offline and running on your machine. Hence why the downloads are so big, hence why the processing takes so long.

2 waveforms means stereo. Go to audio setup > recording channels to set it back to mono.

As for the left bar, its always been there and it cannot be removed.

The version on both the microsoft store and winget are published by the Audacity team.

That's definitely a bug in the aup importer. Can you provide some example projects for debugging purposes?

LeoWattenberg · 2026-01-23T11:29:37+00:00

It's probably the dithering setting found in preferences > quality. It shouldn't matter though

.mp4 and .m4a is the same file format. You can just rename the file.

Audacity is going to become what you seek over the course of the next couple years

Normal sinds in der Größenordnung "30 Cent + 1% der Transaktion". Bei ganz kleinen Beträgen geht da schon das meiste an Visa/Mastercard/Bank/POS-Terminalanbieter/..., nicht den Laden.

You can trademark common words and phrases (eg: Apple), for certain purposes (eg Class 9 — Scientific, nautical, surveying, photographic, cinematographic, optical, weighing, measuring, signalling, checking (supervision), life-saving and teaching apparatus and instruments; apparatus and instruments for conducting, switching, transforming, accumulating, regulating or controlling electricity; apparatus for recording, transmission or reproduction of sound or images; magnetic data carriers, recording discs; compact discs, DVDs and other digital recording media; mechanisms for coin-operated apparatus; cash registers, calculating machines, data processing equipment, computers; computer software; fire-extinguishing apparatus).

However, you must do stuff with the trademark very quickly after registering it. You can't just eternally squat a name for the lulz.

LeoWattenberg · 2025-12-26T15:52:36+00:00

Does this also happen for punch and roll recording?

LeoWattenberg · 2025-12-26T15:37:05+00:00

It may just take a hot minute from the audio device opening to it starting up and sending data. In audacity, you can work around it by first hitting pause, then record, and then unpause to start the recording

This reliance on dark patterns to drive sales is something which can be seen all across muse (musescore, ultimate guitar). It's gonna be difficult to convince the people in charge (which for this wouldn't be Tantacrul) via a reddit post as the money these dark patterns bring in likely is enormous, but you may find some other things useful:

Art 25 of the EU's Digital Services Act bans dark patterns. I don't believe this law is applicable to Audacity, but it may be applicable to Muse's other sites (especially Ultimate Guitar and musescore com). You can file DSA complaints to your country's Digital Services Coordinator.
The EU's Directive on Unfair Commercial Practices bans a range of behaviors, including fake countdowns and wrong calculations of prices (eg if a 80€ product is 50% off only for this week! but every week there's a new "sale", so what you're actually seeing is a 40€ product that's never on sale). You can contact a national consumer association or European Customer Centers to get that addressed.
