Re: stereo widener effect

David's Plug-in uses two techniques to widen the stereo field. One uses intensity stereo (same as moving pan fader) and the other is time delay stereo. our ears identify the position of a sound source according to volume and time difference on each side. The general widening effect mixes the origina...

Re: Beginner's help

Ahh, it's ointment on my soul that even Roger can be baffled sometimes.

Re: "Cut Preview" improvements, also an "Uncut Preview"

Fortunately, the keys can be modified to suit one's needs. I will probably use F5 to F8, since I have no use for the tool selectors. Or I take "ASDF" in order to have the right hand staying on the arrow keys and ',' and '.'. Someday, I am going to built my own Audacity keyboard with 256 keys and 5 a...

Re: Beginner's help

We are all a little peculiar with such things. The individual cutting style is the trade mark of any narrative audio editor. The art is somewhat under-estimated in comparison to the work of film cutters. Each project, scene and sentence has its own drive and just the right amount of silence is the s...

Re: stereo widener effect

The effect depends on how "stereo" the track is already. Stereo tracks with nearly identical content in both channels won't profit from the effect. It is most distinguishable in a track that has multiple instruments, already panned in the stereo field. Maybe there's a organ on the left side and a gu...

Re: Beginner's help

I work quite a lot with transcriptions, narrations, audio dramas and alike. Especially for dialogs in A-Ds is the pause handling of the most importance, Since there sound effects to be overlaid music themes to be blended in. It is best to exaggerate the pauses during the recording. The trunc silence...

Re: "Cut Preview" improvements, also an "Uncut Preview"

@gayle That's the proposal I meant: What seems to be required is that the functionality available to sighted users with the "B" key is made available to blind and other non-mouse users. The simplest implementation of this that I can think of would be 4 key bindings (possibly the number keys 2, 3, 4 ...

Re: Beginner's help

That's gonna be interesting, especially the analyse part. The reassembling of the different pieces in the manner described above may not be very efficient though. The extract function evaluates always the whole sound up to the logical stop. So, if we have a sound to compile, that is splitted up into...

Re: "Cut Preview" improvements, also an "Uncut Preview"

Steve's proposal is quite the thing we need. I can't see how the continuous playback over the cursor/edge can be of any advantage to VI users. A compromise would be to introduce a single new key: - C plays as usual - The new key plays the inner sections of the selection (first seconds, followed by t...

Re: Beginner's help

That seems to be an awkward bug.
Somehow, the global variable s is not recognized in the closure of 'snd-seq'.
I've tried to reproduce the bug with s stored in *scratch* and the normal '(seq *scratch* *scratch*).
It gave a nice little "visual runtime error".
I am anxious to learn what Roger says.
