Re: Can't record 4 channels with M-Audio Delta-44

In version 2.0.6, other sources will probably be enabled for WASAPI.
You can check out Audacity's nightly builts to test it.

Re: Recording dialogue in the wilderness

We basically work in two domains: time and frequency. The noise removal takes only the latter into account. How do you make the recordings? Are the files in stereo or made from two recorders in mono? I ask because the actual sound source location can serve as a tracking key too. Have you any links t...

Re: How to measure the dynamic range ?

To me, the dynamic range is defined by the audio's bit depth, e.g. 0 dB to -96 dB (For 16 bit). The dynamic range for a specific audio file is therefore: the highest RMS value present minus the lowest representable, non-zero (-inf dB) RMS value. That is a rule of thumb calculation for the dynamic r...

Re: Automated editing

It could be in the right click menu or the Label Editor. The latter option is of course preferable from my perspective. I think that it is generally agreed that all right click menus need to be available by an accessible means. Which is not the case for single labels, this menu is not accessible. I...

Re: very small movement of an audio file

Hey guys I've now read up on this matter in Audacity as you have given me links to the area in question. Many, many thanks. I now appear to have answered my own questions so can now try out changes for myself. I'm most grateful, cheers, Larney Which Question? The keyboard movement is at least not p...

Re: Automated editing

And there should also be a command to convert point labels to region labels. How does that work? Can you describe what that does and how it would be used? Ey, you got me there... I would extent the point label (e.g., those created per Ctrl-m, during playback) to its neighbour on the right or the tr...

Re: Automated editing

Why don't you introduce a new command such as "Concatenate Labeled Audio Regions to new Track(s)" (somewhat shorter of course...).
One could thus listen to the result(s) prior to export.
And there should also be a command to convert point labels to region labels.

Re: automated silence interval

Although Steve has already posted a functional snippet, Here is my version ... That code fulfils the brief , but needs a "scale 0.5" , as otherwise the resultant waveforms double in amplitude. Thank you Trebor, I've corrected the code in order to be on the safe side. Normally, the two cha...

Re: very small movement of an audio file

To extend Koz' post: The step size can per zoom be set. In order to do this properly, you should first set the zoom to normal (Ctrl 2) The Step size is now 512 Samples. Zooming in halves the amount of samples, e.g. pressing [Ctrl 1] goes from 512 to 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1 sample(s). [Ct...
