Re: Error Saving Project 2.0.4

Not sure if my Reply is still waiting approval or is in limbo, as my initial post appeared much quicker. So, to reiterate, I am not on a network, just trying to save on my internal HD. I checked Preferences>Directories and found in the Location text field C:DOCUME~1DannaLOCALS~1Tempaudacity_temp fo...

Re: Spectral analysis of a pure sound

Frequencies that coincide with a FFT bin (a frequency band) are much sharper than those which fall between two bins. FFT assumes that the frame that holds the samples (e.g. 1024) is a perfect cycle and continues on both sides to infinity. If we take a 440 Hz frequenzy, the cycle won't fit into a 102...

Re: New plug-in effect - PopMute

Sometimes, there's more text, e.g. "Click and drag to select Audio". Then, there's the project rate, Snap to check box and and the selection boundaries (start, length and audioposition). I have to press F6 to interactively modify those values. However, I can lock a second "view" ...

Good question.
The normal short cut for reading out the status line says currently "Actual Rate: 44100". That's the place to add additional information, I guess.

Re: Audacity 2.0.4 Release Candidate 1 (zip) and 2 (installe

There are about a dozen sayings that come to my mind about rushed work... However, as long as those points I've raised are noted for future releases, I am satisfied. I support the long term idea of a quasi effect manager from within the preferences dialog. And I meant of course all plug-in types, in...

Re: New plug-in effect - PopMute

[...] It would sometimes be nice to have a display of the peak amplitude - for example with an "on hover" tool tip, or displayed in the status bar. That's splendid. If, then both cases - Peak and/or Rms in the status bar for the selected region or cursor position and the hover values for ...

Re: Audacity 2.0.4 Release Candidate 1 (zip) and 2 (installe

I hope that correcting this buffer issues isn't too complicated. The users will certainly be pleased with the new features, such as reverb, better "Change Pitch", align end-to-end and the WASAPI alternative to record "What you hear". Another thing that has changed and makes me so...

Re: Exported Spectrum overwrites existing file.

I often wonder, is it the users or the Developers who are so dead set against additional preferences? In my, admittedly highly biased opinion (IMHBO?) this fanatical abhorrence to additional preferences on the part of a majority of the Developers is groundless. If Audacity was a very simple applica...

Re: Exported Spectrum overwrites existing file.

I am sure that Gayle will find a dozen people who relie on the current append-behaviour... ;) But I guarantee that he'll not find a single user that frequently switches between "append" and "overwrite" (because up 'till now there's been no choice but to append). I'd like to just...
