I've got a few little snippets here: https://soundcloud.com/stevethe-fiddle
They are mostly experiments in sound synthesis using Nyquist.

In Nyquist, a "<sound>" is a data type. So where we might have "integers", "floats", "characters", "strings" ... as data types in other programming languages, in Nyquist we also have "sound"s. As you no doubt know, in digital audio, a sound...

now when I open it it says it's detected 549 missing audio data blockfiles, and gives me an option to quit immediately, temporarily replace all the audio with silence, or permanently replace all the audio with silence. Select the option " temporarily replace all the audio with silence". D...

All of a sudden, Audacity began to freeze right on the starting logo splash in my Xubuntu machine. Audacity may be hanging on a bad plug-in. Have you tried resetting Audacity? Look in your home folder for either of the hidden directories: .audacity-data .audacity-files Delete (or rename) these fold...

Are you able to create a "minimal test case" that you can share with us, to illustrate the problem?

The "SetRMS" code that is linked in this post is not a full plug-in. To be able to install it, the code needs to be modified a little with a full set of "required" plug-in headers (https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-in_Headers#required_headers). Note also that header...

On Linux, it's possible to put the main Audacity window on one "Desktop", and place toolbars on another Desktop. Linux allows easy switching between multiple "virtual" Desktops. I've heard that Windows 10 now also has this ability, so perhaps that would be a solution for you (?)

For process. type effects, the length of the selection is conveniently available in the variable LEN (in samples). The length in seconds can be calculated

When using FFT analysis, there's a trade off between precision in the frequency domain and time domain. Greater frequency precision can be achieved by increasing the "window size", but this is at the expense of time precision. The inverse is also true - the smaller the window size, the gre...

You're welcome

I'll close this topic as "solved".
