Finding silences may work. Songs itself have background noise - they should always be correctly detected. The real clock is used in the algorithm. Audacity gets the next frame but don't know if there was pause in the stream due video switch. If time between the current frame and the previous frame ...

You could also try an on line noise reduction tool such as: http://audiodenoise.com/ Or let the audio run through Skype... No tool is perfect and you will have to puzzle the best pieces together. Also, some compression will be needed as well, the wind blasts reduce the volume, especially in the high...

@Robert J. H., Do you mean copying the track so I have two then apply High pass filter on one and then isolate center on the other and then mix them? Do you have any recommendations on the settings for isolate center? Well what I wanted was to have a crisp perfect recap of the voices and a slight l...

High Pass filter, 300 Hz, 48 dB per octave may help a bit. The "Isolate Vocals" setting in the "Vocal Reduction and Isolation" effect helps to make the main voice clearer, but at the expense of creating weird bubbly sounds in the background ("strength" should be set to about 1.0). Sorry, no miracle...

if you want to process multiple files at once, there's always the option to create a Nyquist plug-in that imports the file and mixes it with the secondary file, indicated in the chain. You can provide additional options such as the volume/balance of the two tracks and their starting points. The onl...

I don't think you don't need a new feature. Import the ocean waves file into Audacity and File > Save Project... . This saves an Audacity Project (AUP file and a _data folder - the folder is just for Audacity to use internally). When you want to launch Audacity, launch it by double-clicking the oce...

I want to play a spectral selection and cannot see any way to do this. Is this possible ? I am using Audacity 2.1.0 on a WIndows 10 64 bit system. You can try the attached plug-in (it's Windows only) Thanks, Robert. I note two things with a 2600 Hz tone. If there is no bandwidth (low and high frequ...

I want to play a spectral selection and cannot see any way to do this. Is this possible ? I am using Audacity 2.1.0 on a WIndows 10 64 bit system. You can try the attached plug-in (it's Windows only) SpectralPreview.ny After installing, it goes into the Analyze menu. It plays the exact complementar...

The bit -depth code I've provided at another place does usually report 29 bit for an imported Mp3 file. This corresponds to a bit depth of 14.5 bit which is in accordance with the specs. I am not totally clear about "corresponds to", Robert. Is that about the capability of the decoder, which would ...

thx, Robert. Good to know. I tend not to confuse people by talking about half bits. It's something that's way over my head too :( I feel with you. :D The most efficient compression algorithms work with fractal bits, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_coding However, the reason for the...
