I've noticed Audacium uses the older style Windows file-picker when selecting files, which have older icons, UI and aren't theme-compatible with the rest of the OS. More frustratingly, it has a different layout to File Explorer, which makes it a bit harder to find files.

Most apps use a newer file-picker, which opens a mini-version of File Explorer. Hence it uses the familiar File Explorer layout, is theme-compatible and also has the latest UI and icons provided by Windows. The following example is what happens when one tries to upload a file to Discord:

Thanks in advance!

There is one popular fork that is maintained, but looks for collaborators:

https://github.com/cookiengineer/audacity https://fosspost.org/audacity-fork-needs-help/

I suggest you archive this repo, add a link to that fork and contribute there. It does not make sense to maintain multiple forks with the same goal.

Thanks for your efforts defending free software!

Why this logo / style instead of the current one ?

• Shape: Modern minimalism style (incl. reference to audio waveforms, left/right)

• Colors: Tasteful & multiple (reference to the spectrum of different frequencies, versatility of app features, without looking like a xmas fair)

• Usability: Can be used inverted (logo on dark bg, or bight bg)

• Visually matching name: Audacium.

"um" means neuter in Latin. It sounds like universum. Or auditorium. It has the feeling of being pretentious. Now in its current state, it's Audacity... without telemetry.

The 3 key core goals listed are:

1. Restoring Audacity to what it was before, with no crash reporting (GH Issues exist for that), or very simple update checking (only at startup, not periodically)
2. Adding new features people want, listening closely to the community
3. Make the code base easier to work with, less confusing for a newbie

1st goal mentioned is how this all ofcourse started. 2nd goal is inspiring - and that should be visualized. Might attract new contributors. 3rd goal should somehow be represented visually too. Minimalism.

I tried to do so for all goals with my proposal. Let me know if you all want this, so I will provide a package with color codes, png/svg, etc.

NOTE: I made a Adobe Audition theme look-a-like for Audacity recently, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/audacity/comments/owq5zl/audition_dark_theme_for_audacity/

I'm thinking of making a new default skin for Audacium too. Keeping the colors used in the logo in check.

Then create a few different variants, so people can choose which color they want their waveform to be like:

• Orange
• Pink
• Purple
• Blue
• Turqoise

Failing to enable plugins

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'the Effects Tab'
2. Click on 'add / remove plugin'
3. Select all
4. click enable
5. click ok
6. goto effects tab
7. see that none of the plugins got applied Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

OS: Manjaro Build: AUR repo

Video Showing issue https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/492169001858760704/861977860297195571/2021-07-06_09-23-32.mp4

Installed the software, and it doesn't start. The splash screen pops up, but nothing happens after that. Been trying administrator mode with the starting but no luck with that either.

Win10 x64

Description: Upon opening Audacium.exe after installation using the installer, the splash image will show for a few seconds, then Audacium will not open. Task Manager shows Audacium Cross-Platform sound opening briefly then closing again

Additional Info:

• OS: Windows 10 Build 18363.1440
• Version Audacium v3.0.4x64

I saw a previous issue where the bug reporter had fixed the issue by reinstalling, unfortunately this did not work for me. I've also attempted adding it to my Anti-virus and firewall exceptions which also did not work.

This Audacity fork needs a facelift in order to stand out (in my opinion). And what better way to do so than improving the current wave color system? Four colors is probably good enough for the basic to mid level user. For advanced users with large numbers of tracks, this isn't good enough. So this commit adds 20 colors to Wave Color selection. There are 2 file patches: AllThemeResources.h and TrackArtist.cpp.

The localisation files of this project reference Audacity's name several times. Since the name of the project has changed, this should be updated as well to avoid confusion.

Issue

I already issued a similar bug on Tenacity, which had a white background website with a dark text. And my browser had some trouble with it. Probably since I'm using a global dark theme.

A lot of people might use similar themes. And if the background of the page is undefined the problem is that the text is dark on dark. On Audacium site is not that big of a deal, since the text is quite grey. So It's kind of visible. Still hard to read.

Fix

• Add a hard coded background to the page.

Rename everything and comments out the credits

Describe the bug Bitcoin is unethical and a bug which threatens the very existance of humanity as it harms the planet through global warming.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. start mining bitcoin
2. planet gets warm
3. planet dies

Expected behavior Bitcoin should not be used for donations.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional information (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Mac High Sierra, Ubuntu 18.04, Windows 10]
• Version [e.g. Audacity 2.5.1]
• (if relevant) Sound Device [e.g. Windows WASAPI, USB Sound card]

Additional context You know, bitcoin is really bad.

I'm writing this jokingly, but I'm also serious. I think it's great to have a fork like this, but please do not endanger our planet. Quit bitcoin. :)

Bitcoin consumes as much energy as whole countries, do you think risking a planet is worth some transactions?

Describe the bug when trying to build audacium on arch based distros, there seems to be a confliction deceleration of c functions in the ffmpeg.h which seems to be cause by the ffmpeg version update to n5.0

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. attempt to build audacium
2. build errors out Expected behavior builds successfully

Additional information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Manjaro
• Version:audacium-git latest

Additional context here is the error log https://paste.ee/p/QGMgZ

Describe the bug Installing the audacium or the audacium-git packages through the Arch User Repository on Linux fails.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have the YAY AUR helper installed on your Arch/Arch-based system.
2. Run: yay -S audacium, or yay -S audacium-git
3. Leave it for a while.
4. It'll fail at build

Expected behavior The Package to correctly build and can be ran.

Screenshots

Additional information (please complete the following information):

• OS: EndeavourOS 6.1: Atlantic (Fully Updated)

Additional context The problem had not started till about a week ago for me.

Describe the bug Will not import a newly recorded MP3 but will import other MP3s

To Reproduce

1. use a an MP3 converter to convert a cassette tape to MP3.
2. attempt to import newly recorded MP3 into Audacium and get message saying "Audacity did not recognize the type of file '...*.mp3. Try installing FFmpeg" even if the proper library is installed.
3. attempt to import another mp3 file that's already been on your hard drive for awhile.
4. see it import just fine with no error message

Expected behavior BOTH mp3s should import without problems!

Additional information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Version Audacium 1.0.0-beta-20211210 (according to the about screen, even after installing version 1.0.0 Release Build.)
