Is there any chance you are not compiling the whole "solution" (and only building the Audacity "project")? This error is what I would expect to occur in that case. The simplest test is to start VC++, choose the Audacity "Unicode Debug" configuration then (from the toolb...

I keep getting an error in my attempt to build Audacity. c:usersmattdocumentsnew folderlib-srcffmpeglibavutilcommon.h(155) : warning C4244: 'return' : conversion from 'int64_t' to 'int32_t', possible loss of data [(warning repeated 3 times)...-Ed] Linking...

After a bit of searching I find you may still get the old SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24826 but they strongly suggest otherwise! The service pack 1 for this SDK adds support for VC++ 2008 Express (which answers your original question). Hopefully the Audacity Develope...

I'm now at this part: You will also need the Microsoft SDK (software development kit). Which version you need depends on your operating system. Look here: Microsoft SDK Overview to get the appropriate version for your system. Be forewarned, this is a lengthy process with numerous reboots! Can anyon...

Doing this is fairly simple once you have Audacity (and the necessary wxWidgets compiling). If you really have the urge, try getting the two to compile then ask me for help as you go. To get you started compiling, read this excruciatingly detailed step-by-step: http://www.hometownband.org/Audacity/C...

Audacity can be made to do this but it would take a lot of programming work. I suspect that (if not SoX) a VB/VC++ app, from scratch, might be easier to write than hacking the Audacity code. If you want to hack the Audacity code, most of what you need can be found here: http://forum.audacityteam.org...

However, would "truncate only start and end" be a useful addition to the shipped "Truncate Silence"? I think making "trim only the leading and trailing silence" (or some such wording) a checkbox within the current "Truncate Silence" effect could be very helpf...

Perfect, works great; thanks!

Thanks folks! though note that if there are silences within the part that you want to keep, they may also be truncated. If this is a problem, then you will need a different solution. That could very well be a problem as the kind of audio I am processing may well have internal, valid bits of silence ...
