Audacity Forum

Steve,

Thank you for this valuable reply and link. I appreciate it.

As part of my project, I am looking for a program that will accept eight wav files as input and produce a multi-channel output. I have had no luck. Does Audacity have such a function?

Thank you for your help.

Did audacity ever add on this music composition capability? Is it inclined to do so?

I wish to do something similar. I wish to specify a notation system that is more convenient for composers.

Is there a formal procedure for submitting add-on applications to Audacity?

Thank you for your help.

There is another important issue regarding the computer aided design of sounds. When the user inputs a drawn waveform, that waveform might have an instantaneous change from one vertical position to another, and it might sound good. A saw tooth wave is an example. Speakers cannot change position inst...

I wish to add that if the user draws a waveform, the CAD software should immediately provide an analysis (the relative coefficients of the overtones). The programmer does not need to know the math so long as there is an algorithm writer who does. You might be surprised by how many mathematicians and...

Steve, There are, of course, many short-cut features that could be on the menu. A clarinet has only odd numbered partials. Clicking off or attenuating even numbered partials should not require a lot of up and down drawing. Also, there are curves that could be applied and superimposed. If you wanted ...

cyrano,

Very interesting. I like the additive synthesis, although my last post about that might point to a faster method.

Do you program?

Steve, One way to approach the problem is to use a graphical grid. Let's suppose we want to create a few sounds that have integer multiple frequencies for overtones. Few notes will have more than 32 partials, but let's take the severe case of a base instrument having seven octaves of sine wave compo...
