sound files with specific frequencies You weren't specific enough about exactly which tones or collections of tones. Audacity will generate "Noise" which is suites or collections of tones. White noise is all tones with equal energy per frequency. This is the one that sounds like sharp, pi...

Generate > Tone. If you need two or more tones at the same time, make one, de-select it (click anywhere else) and generate again. It will make two tones one above the other and play (and Export, and Save) both at once. Note Audacity doesn't save sound files. If you want a stand-alone sound file (WAV...

There was a thought experiment a while ago which posited that in any one segment, the ends of the six second snippets should be close to each other and the tiny sections of the blue waves should meet or move in rational directions. It should be possible to get really close automatically and then onl...

presumably (hopefully!!!) in chronological order. The filenames are completely and intentionally scrambled. I don't remember the exact reason they did that, but there was a reason. Older projects didn't do that and while it made reconstructing a damaged Project enormously easier, it causes other ve...
