Audacity Forum

Here's what it looks like close up:

I can see one spike in there, that by inference from the surrounding two samples, should equate to zero. That is, the value of that sample is the value that needs to be subtracted from every 3rd sample throughout the right channel. I'm new to Audacity. Is there a way to view the numeric value of a s...

This is the most recent of several instances I've seen in the past several months of this very strange soundtrack damage. I'm attaching a .WAV with just 300 samples. (No need to have it longer.) It is stereo, 48khz, 16-bit, from TV. It sounds rather normal to the ear, but please load it into Audacit...

I appreciate your attention to detail and a consciousness of quality. May I ask one more question here? (Maybe a new thread would be better, but I'll try here.) When I try to open an audio file with an extension of .ac3, Audacity reports "---.ac3 is a Dolby Digital audio file. Audacity cannot curren...

So yes, my "amplify" and "normalize" are "gain changes". Therefore will leave it set to "shape". BUT, if I was to do cuts-only (no volume tampering), then turn dithering off. Got it. Thanks! But it does raise the question as to whether there would be any point to proceed with a resample-export SOLEL...

Hmm... We're getting closer... I will be doing "amplify" and "normalize", but nothing else other than cutting. (Input is 16-bit; output is 16-bit.) So, in that context, what dithering should I set the high-quality (for use by Export) to? Shaped or Off?

Steve, thanks for setting me straight. I've looked further into resampling options (outside Audacity). It appears that Audacity is my best option for getting the best possible resampling quality. As I study the docs more, I think I am concluding that I don't have to consider Dithering options becaus...

Well, thank you, Edgar. You gave a bigger answer than I needed. From the "ccp" reference I see that the real answer is "You can't change it in Audacity preferences. You have to create a PROGRAMMING environment, get the C source code for Audacity, make custom changes and RECOMPILE your own custom ver...

Edgar,

> it is a simple matter of adding an extra entry to the drop down

Exactly where do you do this?

How would you reconcile that with what is here (esp. the parenthetical): http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/research/data-archives/guides/resampling-audio-using-audacity/ "The project sampling rate is located in the lower left-hand corner (Project Rate (Hz)). To change the rate of your file, you n...
