The Normalize effect is supposed to analyze and remove DC offset at the users request; in my recent tests on 2.0 and newer Audacitys this does not seem to be working properly. The Noise Removal effect is not advertised as doing this analysis and removal but it does. Quite a few months back there was...

it is very tedious to select each labeled section individually and normalize them one at a time. Personally, I am unlikely to want to do that. It is very easy for the user to normalize everything with a keystroke or two just before exporting it but it is a common failure … The "correct" p...

Why only for Export Multiple? Why not build it into all Export commands? It is a very common to want to normalize as a last step before exporting. When Exporting a project that has multiple tracks as one file, it would be useful for Normalize to be applied after the tracks are mixed. It is very eas...

Since Normalize is a C++ effect it can be told to function without its GUI dialog; it stores its settings in the CFG file: [Effects/Normalize] RemoveDcOffset=1 Normalize=1 Level=-2 StereoIndependent=0 and uses these settings if the dialog is not presented. em.png I photoshopped this but the code is ...

I suspect that rater than me transferring this and your other GUI changes to the Wiki that you would be better off writing a formal proposal in the Wiki. I see no benefit in creating a formal proposal; thanks for the thought. More than anything else these GUI posts were meant to generate some conve...

I see this quite frequently in audio (uploaded as video) on YouTube. I have never seen it on any of my own recordings.

This should be the last picture for this cycle: side-bt-side.png this is a side-by-side view--mine to the left, current on the right. My final attention was to be Preferences dialog. Notice that it now has horizontal and vertical scrollbars (when needed). Also notice that the size and color of the f...

Personally, I prefer the current round buttons to your rounded squares. However, I think the graphics which you propose give us a chance for improving the current GUI. buttons.png On the top left is the current design. Below that I pasted your original as copied from this thread and overwrote it wit...

I seriously doubt that any of the "official" Developers have both the time and desire to do this. As far as I know, there are no other hobbyist programmers (besides myself) playing with these aspects and, personally, I have only glanced at the icons and cursors. Feel free to look at this t...

In my never-ending quest to make things more legible… aPic.png I spent some time tearing apart the timeline; unfortunately, from a GUI standpoint, it shares a lot of code with a number of unrelated GUI items. Is called an "Adorned Ruler" and can be either horizontal (as the timeline) or ve...
