Re: Command line functions or software integration

I had a similar need for commandline processing though I only needed filename and dislocation not duration. I wrote a customized version of Audacity and have been using it now for a few years – it works great. At the time I posted all the code here on this board in the Adding Features forum but I su...

Re: Maximum number of tracks?

The total number of tracks in a single Audacity Project is literally limited only by the total number that can be counted using a signed 32-bit integer – a ridiculously large number; however, each track (even when empty) gobbles up RAM and video resources so the practical number is governed by those...

Re: Warnings compiling 2.0.4 w/ ASIO

No, the developer knows about these and, while intentional, realizes that in the future they may cause problems. I reported them to him when the code was first added to Audacity and at the time he said he was planning on changing the code to remove the warnings.

Re: Exported Spectrum overwrites existing file.

The dialog has a string which explains the dichotomous conflict … has a checkbox for "Don't ask me again" That's the most versatile solution - overkill for my needs but it makes the option "more visible". I'm not sure that we really need the extra dialogue, given that exporting ...

Re: Exported Spectrum overwrites existing file.

I often wonder, is it the users or the Developers who are so dead set against additional preferences? In my, admittedly highly biased opinion (IMHBO?) this fanatical abhorrence to additional preferences on the part of a majority of the Developers is groundless. If Audacity was a very simple applicat...

Re: Import Label Text

is this a feature you are thinking of adding? Or a proposal you are thinking of writing? Its a feature I've been using now for a while in my highly personalized custom version of Audacity. It is only a few lines of code and all of the code was included in my original post. A proposal written by me ...

Re: add Preference for Click Removal on import

How is this better than using Click Removal in a Chain? Better - no, just different workflow. With chains the user selects a bunch of files, starts the chain process then goes off for a cup of [insert favorite beverage here]; later she opens the "Cleaned" folder and must again import each...

Re: add Preference for Click Removal on import

If Click Removal is run automatically, can it be "Undone" (Ctrl+Z) to revert to the unprocessed import? Of course, just like with Normalize. My typical workforce is: go out and get a lot of old vinyl from the swap meet; digitize each as raw recording direct to CD (one track includes both ...

add Preference for Click Removal on import

Just like Normalize, Click Removal could be automatically run (optionally - with a preference setting) on import. It's only a few lines of code and I have been using it now for a while quite happily.

Re: Simple Step To Next Cut

This is really easy to accomplish, except... <grin> Try this: 1) Create 15 secs of Noise 2) label 3 non-contiguous ~3 sec regions 3) click in the 1st label's text field 4) use the mouse (spacebar is gobbled by the label) to click Play in the Transport toolbar 4a) after the first region plays the pla...
