Re: Can't import ogg files

The name of the file suggests that it is actually "opus" rather than "ogg". Audacity does not currently support "opus".

There is a command line decoder for opus here: https://opus-codec.org/downloads/

I wouldn't assume the major plugins come in .exe format. ?
It's not uncommon for VST plug-ins to ship with an installer.

Re: Isolating Frequencies

If, for example, one instrument has only frequencies above 1000 Hz, and the other instrument has only frequencies below 1000 Hz, then they can be easily separated by filtering. The problem is that most instruments have a broad range of frequencies, so the frequency ranges of the two instruments over...

Re: can I get a "full" heavy metal electric guitar sound by using Audacity?

Lots of different types of distortion are possible with Audacity's "Distortion" effect: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/distortion.html
You can also add other effects as well as distortion, such as delay, reverb, chorus ... anything really.

I tried it with 248 files, locked up at the same area, about 97 files.
Is it locking up on particular files? If so, are you able to process those files by "manually" applying the commands (rather than via a Macro), or does one of those commands still lock up?

Code: Select all

Re: Calculate quantiles of audio data

I'm not still stuck & frustrated! Good :) I guess I don't know exactly how it decides sample inclusion when the samples are right on the boundary, so there could be off-by-one errors there. This is how I think it works (by example): The length of the selection is LEN. The sample rate of the sel...

Re: stretching out a 1-second word for 10 seconds?

If you want this as an "effect", rather than someone actually talking very slowly, try these three effects (they each produce a different kind of effect): https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_tempo.html (try both the HQ and non-HQ settings) https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_...

Are you changing the order of the tracks top to bottom?
I wasn't sure from the original question, hence giving both answers (Up / down, drag from the track's info panel. Left / right, use the Time Shift Tool).

Re: Sliding tracks up & down a timeline

Then use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows), click inside the track and push. For moving a whole track up / down as you described koz, you don't have to use the Time Shift Tool. The track can be dragged up / down whichever tool is currently being used. to continue to slide them further...
