Re: Preview button in Nyquist effects

It's still more useful than not having Preview for generate I think. Agreed, the generated tones are often only one track anyway. There are some problems though. - A random effect (e.g. arpeggiator or surf LFO) would not return the same sound as heard in the preview. - will the durations be handled...

Re: Is Nyquist Prompt accessibility on Linux?

Tested on Debian with svn head and 2.0.6 release. When the Nyquist Prompt is opened, focus is in the text window (as it should be). All text is captured by the window, including "Enter" (it must be possible to start a new line). Pressing the "Tab" key moves focus to the "OK...

Re: adjudting sound levels for all .wav files

It seems that you could approximate "standard", "throughout-the-track" normalization by reducing the "Maximum Gain Factor". When you say that 100% of dynamic range is retained within each section, how long are these sections? Is it the same as a "frame" which...

built fails for rev 13400+

(Windows 7 64) I've tried to built the newest version 2.0.7 alpha. Audacity.sln is no longer a valid VS 2008 solution. It seems that the developers have decided to migrate to VS 2013. However, it would have been nice if this were announced e.g. in this forum and when the compile.txt's would have bee...

Re: Improving a voice recording with heavy clipping

I've come up with something similar to Trebor's plug-in. "Darrel Tam" created that plugin, not me, ... www.kvraudio.com/product/dtblkfx_by_darrell_tam ... all streets lead to Rome ... What you've achieved with that code sounds (and looks) just like increasing-contrast using the "DtBl...

Re: Improving a voice recording with heavy clipping

I've come up with something similar to Trebor's plug-in. It uses linear prediction coding instead of de-whitening in the fourier domain ( ;O, what's this guy talking about?). In other words, all streets lead to Rome. Original-distorted-ba.wav The original is actually a bit more clipped. I've exporte...

Re: Improving a voice recording with heavy clipping

What's the bumper-sticker explanation of that? Somehow you have to do something to the clipped areas to make them less objectionable. What does this code do? Or is the real problem finding them all? I know clipping distortion always goes up in pitch and low pass equalization can help by simple roun...

Re: Improving a voice recording with heavy clipping

Here's a second version of the above code with two-fold median: ;; median out of 3 (defun median (sig) (multichan-expand #'(lambda (v0) (let* ((lsr (snd-srate v0)) (rsr (/ lsr)) (dur (1- (snd-length v0 ny:all))) (first (sref v0 0)) (last (snd-sref v0 (* rsr dur))) (v+1 (seq (snd-from-array 0 lsr (ve...

Re: Improving a voice recording with heavy clipping

Nice that my median filter has some application after all. Unfortunately, the effect is very slow (for high window sizes) Here's a (very fast) 3-point version for the Nyquist prompt with the slope integrated (Trebors code produced too much level) ;; median out of 3 (defun median (sig) (multichan-exp...

Re: mathematical functions in audacity

(setf sign (mult s (recip s))) What are you doing there Robert? That just gives a constant value of 1. :? Sorry for that, it's (setf sign (mult s (recip (s-abs s)))) ;; or (setf sign (clip (mult ny:all s) 1)) However, the proper way is of course wave shaping which allows defining the case of negati...
