(Problem / Fix) audacity legacy versions
From Devi Garcia · May 24, 2020
Alright Charles your “tar” file isn’t the actual program at all what it actually is if you read the download description is the “source files” so what you need to do is go to https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux and basically build audacity yourself and then you can install it... giving you complied it successfully. Otherwise you need to use the newest version or find someone else who is compiling older versions still..

Thanks Devi. So much to learn...
Devi, I'm using 16.04 and in the software center there are 2 different audacity downloads, one is orange and one is yellow. The reason I bring it up is that you all say that anything in the software center has been "tested." But the yellow one, which I installed after purging the orange one, gives a weird error message that doesn't allow you to record-- something about being set before zero, So, here is a case where the 'safe' app does not work properly. Why is there 2 versions of the same app? screen shot attached
