Your modulation example produces in fact 2 new frequencies: 220 and 280 Hz. Here's a similar example that has additionally the carrier in it (code for the Nyquist prompt): (amosc (hz-to-step 250) (sum 1 (mult 0.5 (lfo 30)))) Since I'm blind, I'm naturally curious about the project and its tactile as...

Thank you Steve.
On Windows 7, I get the path via the environment variable "APPDATA". And there's of course the "Portable Settings" folder that should be examined first, actually.

I'm just writing a latency plug-in, so no need for you Steve to look into this. On Windows, it even reads out the current latency setting (Audacity.cfg) and proposes the new value to be entered. However, it would be nice if you (Steve) could supply a function that returns the Audacity.cfg location o...

Thanks, I'll look forward to the update. A right-click context menu would be nice. (hint, hint.) You mention a "Context Key." Is that planned for the next version, or does such a key already exist for Audacity? If so, whcih key? Kind Regards The context key is the application key on a Win...

To me, it sounds pretty "Rubato" in certain areas. The first link you've provided has too versions, one without and one with the melody. You can align them such that you can switch in between during playback. To do this: - import the file into Audacity. - Delete the first 19 s (should be s...

Sorry for the almost identical post...

The original wave file uses a lossy format namely Microsoft ADPCM, where 16 bit are encoded into 4 bit per sample. There's ADPCM available if you choose "Other Uncompressed Formats" as File Type in the Export Dialog >> Options. It may be that you have to choose "Custom FMPEG Export&qu...

The max file size for upload is about 1 MB. A MP3 or ogg file therefore be much longer with regard to play time, so choose one of those if the passage is longer. Any mp3 you import into Audacity is automatically converted to raw data (similar to wave data, but with 32 bit precision). Multiple mp3 co...

Why not use the change tempo effect? It is certainly faster than sliding time/pitch shift.
Shift-, and Shift-. make big steps while playing. I've set it to 15 s (in preferences). Holding shift and repeatedly pressing point let's you really quick scan through the audio.

What do you want to do exactly?
If you want to identify the song, you can search for some words of the chorus or the very beginning in YouTube. There are often the lyrics included for a song, thus you may hit the right song after a while.
