The silent track list is the only problem I have with Audacity, but that problem is not specific to Linux,, or at least it wasn't about 15 or so years ago. The problem is still present on Linux now, but I haven't used it anywhere else since about 2009 or 2010, when I used it on XP like once. The good news is that the tracks are listed in the order they were recorded, so I have successfully added an effect for example to the right track just by counting them from the top. The other thing I was able to do was to split a stereo track into its two channels and effectively move the sound by changing the volume of one of the tracks, then I rejoined the two tracks, all without being able to hear any names or labels. No, it's not at all ideal, but it definitely works. One of the theoretical causes of this problem is the fact that Audacity ships its own versions of wxgtk and other libraries, which it integrates very deeply into the code. From all I read of it, Tenacity should be fixing this if they haven't already done so, so the standard library is supposed to work as expected, and any bugs can be worked out in the system library or in the Tenacity code. One thing that would definitely help us out a bit though it to get a digital audio workstation to work with Orca or similar. This would make things much easier for me to do more complex things with audio without having to use BandLab or another web--based solution. But for now, the combination of Audacity/Tenacity and BandLab work pretty well for me, as what one can't do the other fills in well enough. ~Kyle To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to blinux-list+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxx.
