Audacity Forum

I rarely use that tool and in fact had v1.1 which seems to need two passes to get the maximum amplitude down to the requested amount (at least with the audio I was using, which had a peak at -0.1 dB). v1.2.6 which I linked to seems much better in that respect. One pass should be the better advice, ...

audio_pete's pluuuleeelese notes: Enhancements An earlier version of Audacity created custom metadata chunks for AIFF files to be used in high end audio editors. These additions created issues for non-IOS iPods, a Windows IFF file reader and some older versions of Mac audio editors. These applicati...

The Noise Generator is written in C++. Here's the code for all 3 noise types: bool EffectNoise::MakeNoise(float *buffer, sampleCount len, float fs, float amplitude) { float white; sampleCount i; float div = ((float)RAND_MAX) / 2.0f; switch (noiseType) { default: case 0: // white for(i=0; i<len; i++)...

The bit depth, or sample format is also available from the track drop-down menu (16/24 bit integer or 32 bit float).

I wouldn't apply it more than once either. It's better to undo and slowly tweak the parameters. Have you installed the wave-stats plug-in mentioned in the linked post? Do the results match the ones they gave you? Even if they are slightly off, they will indicate if you've hit the right parameters in...

Thanks again I think I understand most of that. It's good to learn stuff. Now I can do it on my own. Originally I didn't think I needed or wanted to get it down note for note but now I'll do that because I can hear it more clearly and it will help me learn bass better. And it's interesting how when...

Sorry, if I flooded you with those technical terms. As you might know, music is converted from analog to digital domain by measuring voltage in certain intervals. For a CD, this is 44100 times per second (i.e. Hz) or 44.1 kHz. Conversly, the sample values are turned into alternating current to excit...

Thank you Steve. I've made another test with the 2.0.3 alpha fromm Novemberr 5th 2012. It has external inputs enabled for Wasapi. The line-in connection gives a device error but the microphone input works fine. The above code returns "24 Bit Integer" if quality is set to 32 bit float. I do...

Question 2: I know the code change "fixed" Windows IFF file viewer utility Riff-pad, so why not mention this in the release notes. I know you do not like Apple or Apple products but please try to drop the 'tude, it can get in the way of improving Audacity. It hasn't fixed Riff-Pad. I've s...

Yes thanks to Shaky too from me. 8-) I made a note of that site , and it's noteworthy that they were supplying updated drivers for certain legacy Creative products up to 2009 (much longer than Creative were). However not all Creative products were covered - for example X-Fi. Gale Yes, that's a pity...
