Many thanks for the quick work, Rosalind --- I'll have a look tomorrow.

Hi Matt:

I have now included a section for installing Audacity 2.2.1 in the chapter for Installing Audacity on OS X in the flossmanuals.net<http://flossmanuals.net> book on Audacity, with screen shots.
Floss Manuals - Free Manuals for Free Software<http://flossmanuals.net/>
flossmanuals.net
A book community creating books of Free Culture and Free Software.



I have also included a sub-section on setting up Audacity 2.2.1; i.e. opening it for the first time.

I did not delete the section for Audacity 1.2.5.

Looking forward to feedback, whenever you’re ready.

Have a great weekend, Matt and everyone else here,

- Rosalind

I’d be happy to help out with this, since I’m a big Mac user, and have been one for years.

I have dabbled with Audacity a little bit.

Hi folks:

Looking for a Mac user, ideally with some awareness of the Audacity tool, though perhaps no previous experience at all would be just as helpful.

I am in the process of rewriting the Audacity manual to reflect the fairly substantial changes from the initial (1.x) release to the latest (2.2.1).  There are specific chapters on installation for Ubuntu and Mac OS that I cannot address, having no access at present to either OS.  In addition, the chapter on Recording includes a long section on configuring your Mac for recording with Audacity (a bunch of specific steps you needn't take with Windows or Linux).  Looking at the official Audacity documentation, it appears to me that much in this section no longer applies, but I can't tell for sure without Mac access.  And to the extent that any of this Mac-specific recording config is still necessary, we'd need a Mac anyway to generate the new screenshots where necessary (and I'm guessing they would be, as I've had to replace every single Windows screenshot in the manual with a new one).  So, any help on this score would be appreciated. The Mac and Ubuntu installation chapters, and this part of the Recording chapter, are the only parts I think can't be adequately covered with a Windows machine.

thanks,

Matt Roberts
