Re: Can't load .wav extracted from VirtialDubMod

That's not a regular WAV file. That's a Dolby Surround AC3 six channel movie file. You need a program that can take apart Surround Sound files and give you the six channels of audio to play with. Most converters will not do that and Audacity wont do it, either.

Re: Basic instructions - sending a recording to others

How important is the destination? If they only need to listen to the work uncritically, then you can prepare an MP3 file from the work and send that. How long is the show? Stereo? If the exact, perfect WAV file needs to go, then we have a few additional steps. I post WAV files all day long on my web...

Re: Find the frequency

No. Audacity has to run a program to determine frequencies and spectrums. It runs in post production, not in real time. In addition, most music is made of hundreds of different frequencies and you wouldn't get any meaningful results. Third, frequency is a time function. There is no frequency at one ...

Re: Click removal ignores some clicks

Click and pop removal is always a juggling act. Remove the pops without removing the percussion. <<<I do capture, then click removal is my very first processing step (I use Brian Davies' ClickRepair tool).>>> That's the current tool of choice. It's money-based software, but it supposed to be terrifi...

Re: mic for low frequencies

That's more better. Although you would think the curve was a straight line with quiescent at the center, it's actually an "S" curve. Suppose the sensing beam overloads the system and overshoots the cell? http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/receivers/fm_demod/fm_demodulation.php "S-C...

Re: Export Midi is grayed out

I can understand converting to MIDI under some very restricted circumstances, like one instrument playing during an entire performance, but not just any old MP3 file. MIDI is an instruction set, not a sound file like WAV or MP3. [Press B4 medium hard for three seconds on a Grand Piano then let go wi...
