Re: Octave Band Analizer

The key phrase in the web page is "In Real Time." Audacity doesn't do anything in real time except straight capture.

Audacity does have the spectrum analyzer tool which can be set for a much more comprehensive display, but that's a post-production tool.

Re: cassette warble

If you know somebody clever with electronics, you can get them to open up the Casio case and "bring out" the speaker wires, maybe putting a DC blocking capacitor in there, so you don't damage anything. I was shocked even more than I thought I'd be when I plugged a large sound system into m...

Re: streaming player

We ran into a similar problem. All the convenient, easy to use streaming tools are Windows oriented. All our creatives, including the clients and agencies, are on Macs. [booming kettle drum sound] I think the trick is to find a system that is browser oriented instead of Windows. Then all you have to...

Distortion Analyzer

I have an HP distortion analyzer I drag out every so often when I'm building audio widgets. I also have a General Radio audio oscillator and a couple of other nice pieces of test equipment. I wonder how much of the distortion analyzer can be done with common tools inside audacity. Apply a pure, quie...

Re: Audio Fluctuation

We need a bit more information. We need the rest of the graph for one thing. What are the numbers along the left and bottom edges. How many octaves is included in the display? Do a screen capture. What is the resolution of the analysis? I can make any sine wave look like that with a sloppy analysis ...

Re: Silent "recovered" track

Forgive me. The vast majority of posters on the forum assume that the AUP file is their whole show and and that it's a sound file. Have you ever produced a really complicated show with numerous imported clips? The clips, in their current folder, become part of the Project. That burns everybody. It's...

Good guess, except they're 15 time zones away from me. Maybe 14 with Daylight Savings Time.

Re: Problems with voice recording

We can wait for some of the heavy Windows people to arrive. My Windows machines still run on coal. Also, a the risk of casting you off to the whims of fate, Audacity is a complete slave to the machine it's running on. If Windows can't find the microphone, Audacity will never find it. Windows Control...
