Re: Confusing documentation for sref

It should of course be written as "local-to-global". However, this differenciation is seldom needed within Nyquist for Audacity since local is in most cases also global time. However, in "sref" the actual Duration has to be considered too (i.e. current length of selection). You can use snd-sref inst...

Re: Help me understand snd-fft boundary behavior

I surmized that the amount of returned Frames would also depend on the magical number 1020 from the internal buffer (not the case , see the code). An example, where this number has an influence would be with '(snd-avg s 1020 1020 op-average)': Your Sound has 1020 samples > 1 returned value 1020 + 50...

Re: Help me understand spectrograms

You should try Zero padding as well, not only changing the window type.
You'll get all the formulas you Need in the Wikipedia article about windowing.
For speech, 20 MS time segments are fairly common. Use a hamming window with 50 % overlap.

Re: Zero crossings -- Help me, Robert (or steve)

It is probably easiest to search for the Zero crossing from a given time index via an ordinary Loop where the search in both directions is possible. However, a list is sometimes very useful and the above method can easily be adapted to search for pauses greater than an arbitrary length. Besides, Sre...

Re: Arrange your tracks with 'Chain-it-up.ny'

By the way, we call it "Geese march". Very pictoresque your idea though. The meter and pace of the ducks shouln't be disturbed too much - pauses within the Audio itself are not touched. Thus, "Stop go stop go stop /+/ stop go stop" would give "go stop go Crash go" :D. Ps. The new Version is kicking ...

Re: Arrange your tracks with 'Chain-it-up.ny'

Unfortunately, artificially created silence will always disappear. Let's say we have three tracks: - Trk1 1 min intro music + 5 s silence - Trk2 2 s noise floor 1 min Music 5 s noise floor - Trk3 1 min outro 10 s fade-out. If all tracks are selected, the passed Sound to the plug-in has always the le...
