NAME
       audacity - Graphical cross-platform audio editor

SYNOPSIS
       audacity -help
       audacity -version

       audacity [-blocksize nnn] -test
       audacity [-blocksize nnn] [ AUDIO-FILE ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Audacity is a graphical audio editor.  This man page does not describe all of the features
       of Audacity or how to use it; for this, see the html documentation that came with the pro‐
       gram,  which  should  be accessible from the Help menu.  This man page describes the Unix-
       specific features, including special files and environment variables.

       Audacity currently uses libsndfile to open many uncompressed audio formats  such  as  WAV,
       AIFF, and AU, and it can also be linked to libmad, libvorbis, and libflac, to provide sup‐
       port for opening MP2/3, Ogg  Vorbis,  and  FLAC  files,  respectively.   LAME,  libvorbis,
       libflac and libtwolame provide facilities to export files to all these formats as well.

       Audacity  is  primarily  an  interactive,  graphical  editor, not a batch-processing tool.
       Whilst there is a basic batch processing tool it is experimental and  incomplete.  If  you
       need  to  batch-process  audio or do simple edits from the command line, using sox or eca‐
       sound driven by a bash script will be much more powerful than audacity.

OPTIONS
       -help     display a brief list of command line options

       -version  display the audacity version number

       -test     run self diagnostics tests (only present in development builds)

       -blocksize nnn
                 set the audacity block size for writing files to disk to nnn bytes

FILES
       ~/.audacity-data/audacity.cfg
              Per user configuration file.

       /var/tmp/audacity-<user>/
              Default location of Audacity's temp directory, where <user> is your  username.   If
              this  location  is  not  suitable  (not enough space in /var/tmp, for example), you
              should change the temp directory in the Preferences and restart Audacity.  Audacity
              is  a  disk-based editor, so the temp directory is very important: it should always
              be on a fast (local) disk with lots of free space.

              Note that older versions of Audacity put the temp directory inside  of  the  user's
              home  directory.   This is undesirable on many systems, and using some directory in
              /tmp is recommended.

              On many modern Linux systems all files in /tmp/ will be deleted each time the  sys‐
              tem  boots up, which makes recovering a recording that was going on when the system
              crashed much harder. This is why the default is to use  a  directory  in  /var/tmp/
              which will not normally be deleted by the system. Open the Preferences to check.

SEARCH PATH
       When  looking  for plug-ins, help files, localization files, or other configuration files,
       Audacity searches the following locations, in this order:

       AUDACITY_PATH
              Any directories in the AUDACITY_PATH environment variable will be  searched  before
              anywhere else.

       .
              The current working directory when Audacity is started.

       ~/.audacity-data/Plug-Ins

       <prefix>/share/audacity
              The  system-wide  Audacity directory, where <prefix> is usually /usr or /usr/local,
              depending on where the program was installed.

       <prefix>/share/doc/audacity
              The system-wide Audacity documentation directory, where <prefix> is usually /usr or
              /usr/local, depending on where the program was installed.

       For localization files in particular (i.e. translations of Audacity into other languages),
       Audacity also searches <prefix>/share/locale

PLUG-INS
       Audacity supports two types of plug-ins on Unix: LADSPA and Nyquist plug-ins.   These  are
       generally placed in a directory called plug-ins somewhere on the search path (see above).

       LADSPA  plug-ins can either be in the plug-ins directory, or alternatively in a ladspa di‐
       rectory on the search path if you choose to create one.  Audacity will also search the di‐
       rectories in the LADSPA_PATH environment variable for additional LADSPA plug-ins.

       Nyquist  plug-ins  can  either be in the plug-ins directory, or alternatively in a nyquist
       directory on the search path if you choose to create one.

AUTHORS
       Project  leaders  include Dominic Mazzoni, Matt Brubeck, James Crook, Vaughan Johnson, Le‐
       land Lucius, and Markus Meyer, but dozens of others have contributed, and  Audacity  would
       not be possible without wxWidgets, libsndfile, and many of the other libraries it is built
       upon.  For the most recent list of contributors and current email addresses, see our  web‐
