Re: Entering a label while recording

You have probably to assign a new short cut in the preferences dialog.
The cmd-b command is for creating labels with start and end (regions). This makes of course no sense during recording.

Re: Need pointers on adding feature to search pattern

Cross correlation is a reasonable starting point, it has it's draw backs though. Let's take a simple example: audacity.wav The search pattern is roughly in the first 18000 samples -- nearly a second at 22.05 kHz. We will now try to search for it with convolution. This is nothing but correlation, if ...

Re: Manipulating Decibels

Those replies from ACX seem to me always a little bit fuzzy. There's for one that they do not say how much the RMS level differs from the specification and how they do measure it in the first place. It is absolutely no problem to forge a Analyzer that meets their standards. Steve has posted some mor...

Re: Karaoke, Rotation, Panning & more

The delay feature while not exactly a necessary feature of the Vocal Remover/Isolator seems to be an effective stereo "enhancer". Is anything like that feature in any other of the Nyquist effects on Forum or Wiki? It seems like it could be part of Channel Mixer, or it could quite intuitiv...

Re: Question about mp3 file data volume.

Sorry Gale, I meant -4 dB white noise which will go up to 0 dB. The overshoot is essentially increasing the louder the audio is, i.e. 3 dB louder isn't equal to 3 dB. This might be due to the uneven mp3-quantization. Also, VBR and CBR do not exhibit the same increase. It is evident that a -4 dB gain...

Re: High Frequency Noise/Whistle in Background

It is most likely the adapter itself.
I had the same problem and an exchange solved the problem.
try another 3.5 mm jack--it can even be a head phone or ear-pads.

Re: Question about mp3 file data volume.

It is possible for two mp3 files, with the same audacity set volume output, and the same pc sound volume, to play at different volume levels compared to one another. -What can I do to eliminate such a difference, and normalise both their volumes relative to one another, at the data level? Firstly, ...

No, it stays the same, just 6 dB quieter. That is, if you have two mono tracks playing at the same time.

Re: Question about mp3 file data volume.

You should be able to export mono tracks without an empty second channel. Ensure that you do only export the selected track or that all other tracks are muted and that it isn't panned to any side. Also, the track must be mono in the first place. Split it to mono if there are two wave forms and delet...
