Tracks can be realigned using the "time shift" tool ..

You may have to zoom-in on the [horizontal] time-scale to get the alignment perfect.

... I find some sections where Chris's has raised the noise floor, even though the "silence" is starting at -54 dB. (I have the "Floor" set to -28 in Chris). After Chris has run, that "silence" has moved to -47 dB which is NOT good. Upward-compression will Inevitably i...

If the drum beats are louder than everything else, (brief loud peaks poking out of the envelope) they can be reduced to the same amplitude as everything else using a limiter , (which is a compressor with a very fast response time ).

Koz recently pointed out to me that something similar can be achieved using the "leveller"...
Which could be even nearer "goldylox".

There are several functions to convert between linear and logarithmic. The simplest are 'linear-to-db' and 'db-to-linear'. Yes those are the ones I've seen in nyquist code. What gave me the idea was I that I was faced with trying to correct recording of a keyboard where the wrong type of swell-peda...

Is it possible to compress the waveform exponentially so it looks like when the vertical scale is in dB ? ... logarithmic compression demo .gif i.e. the amount of compression increases exponentially with the amplitude of the waveform. Just a notion , I'm not sure how such a waveform will sound , oth...

There's an app for that ... http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 02#p220702

... the current one has the minor flaw that it adds noise to the beginning/end of my tracks, and I just snip it out, no big deal. In theory someone may have taken his code base and figured out a way to remove that one minor issue OR found another add-in that works as well, but eliminates that final...

... I would not hold out much hope for automatic correction. OK what about this method for automatic correction : use the level of an artifact , (e.g. a mains-hum harmonic), as a reference and expanding so it is constant throughout the recording, ( the assumption being it was constant amplitude and...

You can listen to one of the two raw recordings here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1904616/Sieglinde%2030.11.WAV The conspicuous defect I can hear on that dropbox file is clicking (due to skipping ) which is fixable using " repair " on each click ... ''Sieglinde 30'' excerpt, befor...
