Audacity Forum

Recording in Stereo can indeed improve some things such as the signal to noise ratio. The idea is to use a stereo microphone and only use the sound in the center. This eliminates equipment noise and reverberation. Those are to a great deal independent from one another in both channels. The following...

I've written the script in the topic above, so you can ask here.
We just need more details.
For instance, do you search for a frequency profile, a wave form, a single tone-sequence or what?
I hope you don't want the plug-in to work in real time, because Audacity can't do that.

And if you don't mind to copy the output from the Debug screen and to paste it directly in e.g. Excel, then you can use this code in the Nyquist prompt: (setf *float-format* "%.2f") (Format t "Time (s)tPeak (dBFS)tRms (dBFS)n") (do* ((sr (truncate *sound-srate*)) (ti 0 (1+ ti)) (...

I think this works gracefully:
Open Nyquist prompt
- Type "()s" without quotes
- Press OK

This used to work in old times. Can't check it myself 'cos I'm blind.

Nice version, Steve.
A pity that there's sometimes underlaying traffic sound (e.g. at 1:38).

Hi MichloIW That's much better than the first version, which has much too much bass. In this version too, there's some boominess to the low frequencies, probably due to the recording environment. The recording level is a bit low (-23 dB, actually -26 dB, since the highest peak comes from taking off ...

You can hear the result in the following project (download *.aup and the data folder of the same name): Overall the I think the level is closer to what they are looking for, though perhaps a fraction too quiet in places. For example, between 1:20 and 2:20 the peak level never gets above -6.5 dB and...

Here is a sample-extract that should illustrate one of the mentioned points above. It is the word "Pose" I''ve treated it with the equalization effect. - Cut at 200,400 and 1300 Hz (that's the boominess or resonance of the environment) - cut at 6.3 kHz, the "Szzzz" part Cut mean...

I don't know what Robert and Koz think, but to me, the original WAV file sounds like it is already somewhat compressed. I'm wondering if that is a side effect of the original recording being at too high a level. Defintely so, The mean is rather close to the peak values. I would have expected an RMS...

The problem that I'm having with the levels is that there is rather a lot of variation. I have marked the gaps between sentences with black "split" lines. Notice how the level at the start of each sentence is much bigger (louder) than the rest of the sentence. It is very difficult to do a...
