Hi David


Thanks for the link. Do I report issues here or can you give me the appropriate address? I will mention them here anyway to see if other can reproduce the bug I have found.


My first issue reflects my pedantry. There are quite a few menu items where the text is:

On/off

or

On/off checked.

For example:

Overdub (on/off) checked.


I suggest simply:

Overdub on with or without the check.


The next one is a minor crash when setting timer recording. I have checked on two machines, both running Windows 10 Creators and both with NVDA 2017.3. The problem only occurs on one machine! If I arrow down past 0 hours I get the following error message:

..\..\src\msw\datetimectrl.cpp(95): assert "Assert failure" failed in
wxDateTimePickerCtrl::SetValue(): Setting the calendar date
unexpectedly failed.

Do you want to stop the program?
You can also choose [Cancel] to suppress further warnings.

Yes No Cancel

For those of you who are interested in testing a beta version of Audacity 2.2.0, this is a link to the portable version of the beta:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.2.0-beta-20170901.zip

If you want this version of Audacity to use its own separate settings, then after you have extracted the files, in the folder that contains Audacity.exe create a folder with the name Portable Settings.

For a summary of new features see:
