Re: What effects are used here?

Cool trick to remember... I welcome hearing creative ways to make monster voices in fantasy novels.

Re: Can audacity automatically increase all silences?

Does "increase" mean "lengthen" or "deamplify" to make them more silent? I don't think you want to amplify them to be noisier.

Fit view to selection, and vice versa?

Ctrl-E by default zooms the view to fit the selection.

Um, is there a command to do the opposite? Select (within the focussed tracks) exactly what you are viewing? I can't find it. It might be convenient.

Re: New Audacity Functionality: Real-time editing

I did float an open ended invitation to discuss narrator's techniques lately, but got few responses. I thought there were a lot of LibriVox people lurking here. AutoHotKeys for Windows is a very useful thing. Do you remember my other complaint about the nuisance of cut preview not recentering the vi...

Re: New Audacity Functionality: Real-time editing

Please point me to a place where I should share the scripts. Or is this thread that place? Eliminating outtakes as I go with recording, instead of doing a straight recording, is a big advantage. The pauses between sentences with frequent cue points might be less natural than with straight recording,...

Preferences: Keyboard dialog misbehavior

If I pick a command, then pick the entry field, then try to assign alt-a, alt-e, alt-i, or alt-d -- then the controls in the dialog itself, with those shortcuts, are clicked. The desired key IS also entered in the field, and so CAN be assigned -- except for alt-e (the "clear" action clears the field...

Re: New Audacity Functionality: Real-time editing

I just discovered this old thread. Has there been any action? Any continued interest? I have found a pleasing way to do this on Windows with the AutoHotKeys program. I save my text as HTML and open it in a browser so it scrolls continuously. Then I just click in that window, and hold a wireless mous...

Re: elementary snd-fft question

"snd-fft" is a function, but it is also class, and snd-fft "returns" an array? ... this doesn't map quite to the notions of the C++ I did in a former life.

elementary snd-fft question

Am I stupid or is this documentation page inconsistent? Does snd-fft return an array of values, or does it return an object that is repeatedly queried for arrays of values? http://www.audacity-forum.de/download/e ... l#index611
