Re: Playback is jumpy

Stop using 1.2? Verson 1.3 doesn't do that nearly as much plus 1.3 has Sticky Labels. You can zoom into a selection and accurately find your edit point and place a label there--Apple-B. Then move on to your next edit point and do the same thing. Then zoom out and when you select a portion of the son...

Re: 1.3.5 and the Letter K in labels

What happens if you dig around inside the keyboard shortcuts section of Preferences? Audacity > Preferences > Keyboard. These are entirely programmable and I guess it's possible to get corruption of the file. It's also possible to read the file. Export or Save the keyboard shortcut information and o...

Re: VIDEO

Oh, sure. We'll get right on this video thing. You know that television in the US doesn't run at an even time rate, right? Time-of-day never comes out right for us. So with the HiDef formats out there (We were going to support HiDef, right? That's all there is going to be left come beginning of next...

Re: Pitch correction

That wasn't pitch changing, exactly, that was a Vocoder. It makes your voice take on the characteristics of a musical instrument. It was also used in a Geico commercial a while ago. If the musical instrument happens to be a single tone sax, then you get robot sounds. The plugin takes two inputs, not...

Re: What is "New Peak Amplitude" & "Clipping"?

That "zero dB" thing they're talking about is also called 0dBFS. "Zero dB Full Scale" is it's official name. If your show waveforms ever exceed 0, they will become flattened on top and bottom and appear "clipped." This is a holdover from the older engineers that had des...
