Re: Labels behaviour

We can add your suggestions as "votes". Personally I think there should be some different shortcut to navigate to a label without opening it. Gale I don't think so. Tab and Shift+Tab are very convenient, combining them with one or two modifier keys is cumbersome. I'm still promoting options in pref...

Re: How to move several tracks up/down? (ordering)

I'd like to suggest "Move selected tracks up/down/to Top/to Bottom" menu entries or something like that. Currently you can only move one track at a time, but there are already menu commands for moving tracks "up / down / to top / to bottom" in the track dropdown menu (see: http://manual.audacitytea...

Re: Is this 1943 "home record" a lost cause?

Here's another example, recording taken from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AKrlaPrg_g It's ironically meant as warning how it should not be done. It is fairly controverse; should one record in stereo or not? One guy says in his comment that he mixes down to mono in order to eliminate clicks on on...

Re: Is this 1943 "home record" a lost cause?

I'm impressed, Robert! Thanks, Cyrano If you want to give it a try yourself, the longer recording can be found in this topic: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=71897&view=unread&sid=5cef0b534310eebd656f36a7ae754664#p209997 Really a pity that my tool wasn't available back then.

Re: Is this 1943 "home record" a lost cause?

Do you still have the record? There are published techniques to force a modern phonograph to play a 78 and then "convert" the result back to real time and pitch, but there's just nothing like playing a 78 at 78 with a 78 size needle which is much less likely to pick up clicks, pops and groove noise...

Re: The problem with effect "Normalize".

That Paulstretch example seems a poor decision There are many cases, but generally it is not due to a recent "design decision" to change the accuracy, but rather that the default accuracy is now strictly enforced (validated) whereas previous it was not. Shouldn't be hard to fix those issues. The ma...

Re: Is this 1943 "home record" a lost cause?

Just to show what my technique described above (stereo recording) can do:
wwII.mp3
(211.53 KiB) Downloaded 61 times
- Vocal Reduction and Isolation (Audacity 2.1.1), "Isolate Vocals", strength 4.0
- Noise reduction to get rid of the "skating" sound.

Re: The problem with effect "Normalize".

But after some training it is possible to differ even 0,01 db No. I have many years of professional experience in sound engineering, and I can clearly hear a 1dB difference, but no way can I hear a 0.1 dB difference, let alone 0.01 dB difference. The developer of the updated effects was intending t...

Re: Karaoke, Rotation, Panning & more

Starkiller2, thank you very much for pointing out this bug. It shows how important feedback is. I should think that after 2 years and more than 1000 downloads other users have had the same problem but did search the fault by themselves - presumably. It is a fortune that the official release coincide...

Re: Karaoke, Rotation, Panning & more

Does vocalrediso.ny depend only on Nyquist 4 which was first supported in Audacity 2.1.0, or on Audacity 2.1.1? It worked fine for me with Audacity 2.1.0 alpha Feb 8th, Starkiller has both Nyquist versions, 3 and 4. It seems to me that either the FFT implementation or object oriented code within Ny...
