Audacity Forum

Compressors change the content of the work, not just the volume. The work after compressors is not the same as just getting closer to the music. The relationship between portions of the show is changed. I listen to a "radio" show that features a man laughing loudly and very quiet musical p...

We are frequently accused of performing miracles and people arrive here indignant that their particular miracle didn't work.

But that is a new one. Audacity is notorious for not supporting MIDI. Do you remember where you saw it?

I just dont think in this day and age it would be that complicated for a program to understand... Audacity can do anything you help us program it to do. This is an all volunteer army. This isn't a corporation with unlimited resources. The existing programmers have their hands full with other featur...

Right. Self-Recording (Stereo-Mix) is not available on all computers. Some newer Windows computers leave it out. See if any of this helps.

We used to just turn you down cold because only Macs and Linux could do that through driver tricks. Somebody at the office suggested Kristal Audio Engine as a solution for Windows. http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/ Windows will not natively do that. Only one USB sound device at a time. Audacity can ...

Audacity doesn't have any MIDI support. I'm curious why you want that. MIDI is machine control, it's not music. I can see a program converting a single instrument performance into a single MIDI stream, but most software can't take apart a mixed performance into individual instruments. It's a frequen...

In the land of video, it got ridiculous. Everybody fell in love with h.264 and left us with the coding task. Let's see. It's Midnight on the west coast and with high-quality two-pass, we'll have your short video by... about... 2PM.

I see the introduction of h.265.

Oh, goody.

I suspect they did that because the actual description of what's happening isn't easy. The 10,000 foot view (3048M) is AAC can get the same quality at one jump less bit rate than MP3. 192 AAC is roughly equivalent to 256 MP3, but it's not a linear transition. It gets messy down where they start to f...

Now if I could just learn to play the drums worth a hoot!

Lot of that going around.
I don't play the keyboard, I play at the keyboard. It's something of an adversarial relationship.

So that would be no, there's no button that tells you BPM. You can do it with a stopwatch and a calculator, but the Labels are much more accurate. The problem is if you have a song with a strong back-beat. The extra rhythm effects can fake out BPM counters. You, on the other hand, are pretty good at...
