If you only hear them on playback the clicks could be skipping , try increasing the OS priority of Audacity.

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)))) I'm nit picking here, but shouldn't it be "sum 0.5" rather than ...

If you click on "options" button when saving as mp3 you can change the mp3 quality from 256Kbps to 64kbps if you wish ... mp3 quality demo 640px.gif NB: if you save a 64Kbps mp3 as a 64kbps mp3 the result approximates to a 32Kbps mp3. Save in a lossless format (like WAV or FLAC) to avoid g...

Ideally, I want an amplitude that I will be able to modify myself depending on the frequency of the sine wave. For example: if sine wave frequency is 50-100 Hz then amplitude of tremolo is 30Hz if sine wave frequency is 100-150 Hz then amplitude of tremolo is 60Hz if sine wave frequency is 150-200 ...

Sounds analogous to a bat-detector : where the ultrasonic bat-chirp frequencies are reduced so they are audible. [ i.e. reduce speech frequencies so they are palpable* ]. There are bat-detector circuits on t'internet , IIRC some use cheap digital divider chips, but they alone wouldn't convey variati...

... some threshold i could set to remove anything below it ... Your dream has been realised: it's called a " noise gate ". You can get one (a plugin) for Audacity here ... http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Effect_Plug-ins#[b]Noise_Gate[/b] [ That noise gate allows degrees of atten...

That's what I was looking for , "seek time when playing" in preferences, thanks Robert.

... would you recommend setting it to Initial Tempo: 150% and Final Tempo: 150%? 130 is about as fast as I can cope with.png The bad news is my computer takes about real-time to apply this effect , e.g. 1 minute to process 1 minute of audio. so there is no actual time saving. Is there a way Audacit...

You can listen to recordings in less than half the time if you use "sliding time scale" (in Effects) ... Dubya before-after ''sliding timescale''.mp3 However your brain may explode if you listen to long recordings at double speed :) I think it would be possible to take samples of (say) 3 s...

When I play the file (mp3) in Audacity, there are two tracks, but they sound identical ... Rhodes Sample for Forum.wav (475.25 KiB) That WAV file is proper stereo : the tracks are not identical, so it is possible to reduce the reverb by only taking what is common to both left and right tracks, i.e....
