Re: NoiseRemoval.cpp

Edit > Undo, double click the pasted noise and Effect > Repeat 10 times for noise of 22 seconds. CTRL + A, then apply Noise Removal at the same settings by opening the effect. The pasted/repeated noise is still at about -20 dB. Try 1024 repetitions instead, and I predict the result will have some i...

Re: Right mouse button menus

The status bar messages must be correct, irrespective. However if we use the same mouse pointer for zoom tool as we do for hover over vertical scale (whichever tool is selected) it does suggest to me that Zoom Tool and hover over vertical scale should be acting the same where there is a comparable ...

Re: Right mouse button menus

... or do you mean to suggest that shift-right click in the magnifier tool inside the track should now have a zoom-all behavior too (perhaps horizontally not vertically, what ctrl-F does)? I suppose that might make things more consistent... I never use the maginifer too myself, but I will be pleased...

Re: Right mouse button menus

First, sorry I'm a fool and forget that it's 2.0.6 code I'm reading. So, it's new behavior. But it is not mentioned in the status bar message. The status bar message in 2.0.5 is Click to vertically zoom in. Shift-click to zoom out. Drag to specify a zoom region. It was an incomplete description in 2...

Re: Right mouse button menus

Gale, I just learned another thing!

Shift and right click in the vertical ruler of a wave track, in any one of the view types, jumps to maximum zoom out.

But the status bar message doesn't mention it, and I just learned it by reading code. I wish I had known it sooner!

"Meta-effects"

For want of a better word... Suppose I apply an effect like a lowpass to a selection. But phase shifts may make undesirable effects at the start and end. So I'd like a lowpass effect with a crossfade interval parameter. Blend the "wet" and "dry" near the boundaries according to a simple formula. But...

Re: Consistent interface for filter effects

The Notch filter is of second order only. Hp and Lp go up to order 8 and the first field expresses that.
Sure, but each has a frequency slider and there is inconsistency in the user interface. Most users don't care about the math, and usually I don't either. :-)

Consistent interface for filter effects

For High and Lowpass filter dialogs, the frequency input field is not first in tab order. For notch filter, it is (which I find more convenient personally). Would it be nicer to make them consistent? It's a simple matter of Nyquist programming of course, so I can easily do it for myself if I prefer ...

Re: Right mouse button menus

I know only two uses of right mouse in Audacity for Windows, for zooming out in the vertical rulers, and with the magnifier tool. You can also right-click in Meter Toolbar or over a label. see comments in ToolsToolBar.cpp suggest that this tool is very different on the other operating systems. You ...
