Re: Track Drop-down Menu commands

[...101 quotes later...] Could you please just answer that specific? Does the focus remain on the third track, or move back to the fourth track? We're working on bug 510. I'm not asking for alternatives. After Undo, focus can remain on the third track or move to the fourth track. Not both. Gale I t...

Re: Track Drop-down Menu commands

+1 from me too.
Really good job, Steve.
By the way, the new keyboard preferences layout looks pretty good in the upcoming version 2.0.6. Hopefully, the track drop down menu will yet become a branch of the tree...

Re: Track Drop-down Menu commands

undo moves the focus to the first track It's a bug: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510 . In your example (rename the fourth track, move it up, undo move) is it most useful for the focus to move back to the fourth track, or stay on the third track? Generally (as a sighted user) I e...

Re: de-click via differentiation then limiting then integrat

My median filter is actually only suited for this specific kind of impulse-noise. You will maybe never encounter it in real life. It's absolutely unsuitable for high hiss--You'll end up with white noise. Nevertheless, it is a common filter for data, where edges should be preserved (image processing ...

Re: de-click via differentiation then limiting then integrat

Well done Trebor, this seems to do a good job. Do you want to implement this in a single plug-in? It is astonishing how many sorts of degradation one can encounter. Here's another corrupted file that you can try to clean: short clicks before after.mp3 I've used a non-linear filter to clean up the se...

Re: Dramatically reducing file size of a WAV for an online g

No, I say it is one or more mp3s that amount to 400 kb. The absolute greatest music compression can be achieved by saving the different instruments as a sound font and play them via MIDI instructions. 400 kb would only give about 3 s music as wave file, this isn't enough to produce all the layers in...

Re: de-click via differentiation then limiting then integrat

The problem with differentiation is that each sample relies on that one before, when reconstructing via integration. A sample sequence: (0 0 1 0.75 0 0.2 0 0) After differentiation we'll get: (0 0 1 -0.25 -0.75 0.2 -0.2 0) We now hard-clip at 0.5: (0 0 0.5 -0.25 -0.5 0.2 -0.2 0) ..and integrate agai...

Re: Dramatically reducing file size of a WAV for an online g

Finally, here we go guys, here's the link to the piece they've used: http://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty_free_music/songs/spiritual-walk What do we think? Have they maybe used the 'loops set' version to make it work somehow, programmed to play in repeated sequences to create a longer track from smal...

Re: Which PCs allow recording sound from soundcard?

It is far more important that the laptop has a proper line-in connection, it is something that a lot of people miss after a short while.

Re: Audacity 2.0.5 release candidate 1 available for testing

Leland can record multi-channel loopback if he sets Recording Channels to the maximum channels. It fails for playback in the first place - it gives a device error. Changing the channels alters nothing. There are at the moment only 2 speakers connected though. However, the sound output works under W...
