Audacity Forum

I am the "college" to which Steve refers above. I use two other scripting facilities on Windows and find I also must insert "Wait X" statements ranging from X equal to .01 to .2 seconds. I have spent a lot of time working on the C++ code for Audacity and I think I understand what...

Are you sure iTunes supports metadata in WAV, Ed? It didn't used to I feel sure, but does in AIFF. I did test iTunes before I made the post as I rarely use it. I have absolutely no idea how any of these three programs are actually accomplishing this. Tag&Rename must be actually writing metadata...

Audacity already does some commandline processing if started from a CLI. To add the features you need would require some pretty complicated C++ programming but is quite doable. See my post on this general topic here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=38341&p=129443&hilit...

Thanks Steve and Gale. Do either of you know what software does support metadata for .WAV files? iTunes, MediaMonkey and Tag&Rename all do but the results are not very interchangeable and if you set values in them then edit the file in Audacity you may lose some of the previously added metadata.

Not really enough info for me to help you. What I would suggest is that you either create a patch against SVN HEAD and paste it into a code block here; or post the affected files (in a code block here). Try to limit your changes to just enough to show what you are working on. Post mock-ups of GUI ch...

I'm following this and will chime in (though I may be off base)... I think this Assert is not in the Audacity code but in the wxWidgets code. I looks like it is complaining about a string passed to a parsing routine in wx's ArrayString code. I suspect that an unicode string is being poorly handled s...

Nyquist can't distinguish the difference between white space and silence. I think that most folk assume (like you) that the selection needs to go to the end of the track for all fades, even the Audacity fade, so it's not really a problem. There is a slight plus side to the behaviour in that if the ...

Good luck! If you ever want to try compiling Audacity again just jump in and ask away--we're always happy to help. Just remember that there is no need to compile Audacity to use it as-is--just install it from the download, it is only the ASIO stuff that requires compiling. I do not understand why St...

Can you clarify what I should do in this step? It is really straight forward. Using Windows Explorer open the folder c:wxWidgetsincludewxmsw and find the file setup0.h ; this insures you are in the right folder! Now, before compiling wxWidgets (or after doing a complete "clean" on wxWidge...

Don't give up--most (including myself) have problems at first; it is not a trivial task but if you get it right once it will go smoothly thereafter.
