Re: The Window menu is gone, and windows are strange.

Do you have an odd configuration of multiple monitors or a strange monitor resolution? Gaming machine? It's the green button in the upper left, but you can't reach that. In Audacity 2.1.0, the menu bar had Window > Zoom and you could Zoom Full and then Zoom back down to bring the windows back to nor...

Re: Generating and playing ultrasound

Most soundcards have anti-aliasing filters to keep them from going beyond audibility (20KHz). You might be able to find and buy a USB connected soundcard that is listed for higher frequencies. It would have to say so. https://hardforum.com/threads/play-ultrasonic-signal-from-computer.1757571/ The ot...

Re: stuck getting cassette tape sound into Audacity

I see where this is going. Self Recording , that is, recording Music Playing on the Computer (YouTube, etc) is different and takes different settings than simple recording from a sound device like a cassette machine. So lets forget all about SoundFlower for a while and concentrate on recording a tap...

Re: Modifying Shuttle Display

I am sure I am missing it. I'm pretty sure you're not. That's a version of scrubbing that Audacity can't do quite right yet. You can set Audacity to flip screens as it plays. I think that's as close as we get. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Tracks: [X] Update..... My old Cool Edit (Adobe Audition)...

Re: stuck getting cassette tape sound into Audacity

Where do you get stuck? If the Mac can't find the sound, that's full stop until we find out why. Audacity gets its sound from the Mac.

Re: stuck getting cassette tape sound into Audacity

Does your Mini have stereo analog connections like these two? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn-650.jpg If so, you don't need any of that stuff. Connect the RCA outputs of the cassette machine (if available) to the circle with two black arrows socket. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pi...

Re: Voice Changer: Voice needs to be unrecognisable!

The only sure way around this is Printed Text Readers and simply have someone else read it behind you.
Even that's going to fail if you like to use certain words and phrases. Somebody familiar with your writing style is going to catch on.

Re: Voice Changer: Voice needs to be unrecognisable!

a good simple trick to make it safe for me should be enough. No good simple or even difficult, ratty tricks. The only sure way around this is Printed Text Readers and simply have someone else read it behind you. You would think distorting pitch and other voice qualities would work, but you also hav...

Re: background echo

Is there a filter to help reduce the hollow effect for the recording. If it is echoes or room reverb, you can be the biggest hero in the world if you find a filter that can get rid of it. Everybody trying to home-record podcasts, instructions, manuals and audiobooks will beat a path to your door. I...

Re: repair dropouts

It does seem like it would be a simple extension to existing effects though. I doubt it's an extension. I'm guessing you're talking about crumpling up and throwing away about a third of the plugin. It might be handy, but you're the first poster I know to ask for it. Also, there's the requirement to...
