Re: How much better is a CD rip of a song for vocal removal?

The "help screen" for the legacy Vocal Remover plugin says lossless files are better than MP3 or compressed formats. Gale Well, that's just a statement - it lacks some reference material. Perhaps an opportunity for a master thesis... Here are my observations: It does essentially not matter if you'r...

Re: Stand-Alone Recorder

Hi Koz I like Olympus because they make accessible voice recorders (with the so called "Voice Guide") However, the pro recorders that offer high quality wave recordings are not accessible. It really annoys me that these manufacturers are of the opinion that visual impaired people don't need high qua...

Re: Shaded waveform view (when zoomed out)

Although I can sense lighter and darker shades in the waveform, I have no frequency reference against which to compare those different shades - if indeed the shades do always mean frequency differences between different parts of the waveform. I understand they may not mean that. If I understand the...

Re: A suggestion for a pitch effect

Well, I thought it could be something to change the time and pitch simultaneously (similar the last example) but for example with different envelope points, so we might change the time and pitch of various wais, and not necesarily in a lineal way. This can directly be implemented in the text-envelo...

Re: Native notch-filter will not notch above 10kHz :¬(

even with pre-GUI-processing, the min nyquist frequency is not available in any of the *track*/*project*/*selection* properties yet. We do have a "RATE" property of *TRACK*. Whether or not we can use that in pre-GUI processing depends on how that processing is implemented. It would certainly be pos...

Re: Numeric text input widget for Nyquist plug-ins

It does not matter to users "Most" users - agreed. (Nyquist is admittedly an "advanced" set of tools, but it is nevertheless a set of tools available to users). but "int-text" and "float-text" don't convey "numbers only" to me. I think that it will convey "numbers only" to Nyquist users. In Nyquist...

Re: Native notch-filter will not notch above 10kHz :¬(

We once had a variable "rate" that could be inserted in a control in order to represent the sampling rate of the (first) track I've found the bug and it's easy to fix. The remaining question is, should it be the sample rate of the first track, the first selected track, the project rate, the minimum...

Re: Numeric text input widget for Nyquist plug-ins

The only thing I would change: take a somewhat catchier name, without dashes, like - intbox - floatbox - realbox Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not overly keen on the names either, but this was my reasoning: If it were C++ we would almost certainly CamelCase it as one compound word, but Nyquist alm...

Re: Numeric text input widget for Nyquist plug-ins

I fully agree. The only thing I would change: take a somewhat catchier name, without dashes, like - intbox - floatbox - realbox I'm not sure if minimum and maximum are really necessary, they are essentially given by the number type. I'd rather differentiate between signed and unsigned numbers. The l...

Re: Verdict on the settings for new Noise Reduction?

Here you go Robert 32-bit float WAV DCFM web carrier noise.wav Peter. Thanks That's pretty broad band - apart from the 60/120/180 Hz hum. The main hum and some digital artefacts are concentrated in the center. The white noise is channel independent. Thus, you could work with two profiles, separated...
