Running Audacity 2.2.1 (program build Dec 6 2017) on Windows 10 64-bit version 1607.
I am trying to use the Adjustable Fade effect on a sound clip I have, and clicking either the Preview or OK button will result in an “Error” message box. Have completely uninstalled Audacity and reinstalled with no avail as well as deleting the AppData folders and such created by audacity. Any recommendations?
Does the problem happen with just that one project, or all projects?
How big is the project and how long is the selected audio?
Do the “High Pass Filter” and “Low Pass Filter” effects work?
This problem happens with all projects and different music files, this particular one being 1:30 in length approximately 6.6kb in size. The selected audio is about 3 seconds long.
High pass and low pass filters also do not work upon troubleshooting. I receive errors of “Nyquist returned the value: x” depending on the rolloff chosen.
What is the system language of your computer?
What is the exact location of the “audacity.exe” file?
Please also restart Audacity, and then open the Log, and post the contents.
The problem is that Nyquist is unable to find some of its files. My suspicion is that it is because the path includes Unicode characters, but Nyquist only understands ASCII.
This is puzzling. I’ve seen this problem once before, but that was with Audacity running from a folder having Cyrillic characters in its name.
For some reason, some required Nyquist files are not being found, but I don’t yet see any reason for that.
In the Effects menu, do you have the “Nyquist Prompt” effect listed?
Look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity
There should be a folder called “Nyquist”. Is it there?
In that “Nyquist” folder should be 28 “.lsp” files and a folder called “rawwaves”. Are they there?
