effects - truncate silence is great and works well.

Is there an opposite though? - ie something which would automatically locate the silences and then increase them by a changeable percentage?

Yes, this is a known bug in 1.3.10 - files exported with Export Selection or Export Multiple are rounded up to the nearest 5 seconds. Download the lastest 1.3.11 through this page: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Nightly_Builds -- Bill Hi, Thanks - downloading 1.3.11 seems to have solv...

I use audacity to chop audio files up into shorter segments. I do this by selecting from the beginning to a certain point, then choosing EXPORT SELECTION (under file menu), and repeating this process to chop an hour or so of audio up into tracks of a few minutes each. I am finding that the saved seg...

I'm not sure what phase shifting is - perhaps it is that the peak of a wave hits the second mic slightly later than the first mic? Thanks for the explanation thus far anyway and I'll give up the idea of doing this on the computer for the time being.

My digital recorder has two mics at 90°: from http://www.proaudioreview.com/article/17384 A stereo pair of microphones resides atop the LS-10; its cardioid diaphragms are fixed at a 90-degree angle . . . . Zoom Mic utilizes DiMAGIC Virtual Microphone (DVM) technology for a directional microphone fun...

I have a digital recorder with this feature - and it works very well. I presume it works by increasing signals which appear equally in both channels (- and are therefore in the direction the stereo mic is pointing) and decreasing amplitude of signals which appear unequally and are therefore off to t...

You may be on to something here. I've looked at the xml file and the curve I made (by dragging the line at various points and then saving with a new name) looks very different to the preset curves. I've attached the file. It is not as simple as; my curves don't work and the others do. Its as if my c...

It looked like it was a workaround, but I made up the original chain again as an experiment and that produced the solid blue waveform, so I then tried the version that had been working fine and this time it went wrong too - and again even after restarting Audacity.

I've now tried putting the equalization step before click removal and sofar it is working fine.

Yes - that's right, but I've just tried: editing the chain and replacing the curve I've created with one of the preset ones. The chain worked OK on a single file and then was back to going wrong in batch mode. I replaced the curve with another preset one and it worked OK. I then changed it back to t...
