Re: Plot Spectrum reports wrong peak Hz

It's not a bug, it's a limitation of FFT analysis that the smaller the window, the less precise the approximation is. Hmm... knowing nothing about FFT analysis, I had supposed the smaller window would result in a more precise approximation. However, I found using the 32768 window gave the proper re...

Plot Spectrum reports wrong peak Hz

Using Audacity 2.3.2, I found a bug while attempting to clean up a recorded file. Plot Spectrum indicated a peak of 58 Hz. When I applied a narrow (50.0) Notch Filter at 58 Hz, it made no difference. Turns out the actual peak was at 60 Hz; after I applied the Notch Filter at 60 Hz, Plot Spectrum sho...

Thanks!

Scroll wheel zoom? And where did Check Dependencies go?

1. Feature request: I'd like to Zoom In and Zoom Out using the mouse scroll wheel.

2. On earlier versions, Check Dependencies... was on the File menu. Where did it go?

Re: Selection Click Behavior Changed (for the worse)

Steve, thanks for replying. I now realize when my initial click causes the cursor to land to the right (instead of the left), I don't have to "search" for the left boundary by trial and error clicking; instead, I can press the left arrow to move it one frame to the left, which is where the cursor wo...

Selection Click Behavior Changed (for the worse)

I've recently upgraded to v2.0.3. Back when I used 1.3.x beta, clicking on the waveform would place the cursor at the previous boundary and, that was exactly what I needed it to do (I happen to work with CDDA frames). Now, in 2.0.3, the cursor snaps to the nearest boundary. But, I never want it to g...

Re: Snap To fails after changing Selection Toolbar units

The problem is that there is only one set of "Preferences" for Audacity, so all projects that are open will share the same "Snap To" setting. ... If you want the "Snap To" settings to operate on a "per Audacity window" basis, I think that would be a "Feature Request" rather than a "Bug Report". Tha...

Snap To fails after changing Selection Toolbar units

I have 2 files open in separate windows. Normally, my Selection Toolbar is set to show hh:mm:ss + CDDA frames. However, in this instance, I needed to set one window to show milliseconds. Sometime after changing the Selection Toolbar in one window to milliseconds, I went back to working in the other ...

Re: "Snap To" doesn't (but it used to)

I'm not sure though why you need to be turning Snap-To on an off so much, especially for CDDA frames. I need to turn it off in order to select a few milliseconds on either side of the split and use the Fade Out and Fade In effects (so that the exported track between the splits starts and ends at 0 ...
