Re: Noise gate vs insert room sound

Does anyone know of any work done in this area? I expect the answer will be "no". For producing high quality audiobook recordings, you need to have a very quiet room to record in. If you find that you need to replace all of the silences between sentences, then you're doing something wrong...

Re: Exporting multiple tracks at once

You can use the "Amplify" effect in a Macro (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/macros.html)

How will you know how much amplification to apply?

Well, even better is if I ever crack the code on how to sync two audio tracks together then I could record voice with Audacity and game audio with video with Fraps. Then if I need to clip out a part of what the mic picks up it won't affect game audio.
What problem are you having with doing that?

Re: Aud 2.3.2. 'Fit to Width' does not go full width of screen

What if you use the menu command "View > Track Size > Fit to Width"?

Does the problem only occur with one project, or all projects?

Re: Please Add Vote to Changing "Repair Selection is Too Big" UI

I don't think that "flashing the screen red for a moment" is a good solution. Without an error message, I expect that most users would be confused and not understand why the repair failed, or what the red flash means. Note that the vast majority of users never look in the manual. And then ...

Re: Audacity is "stuck" at zero and won't record

Error message in full: "Latency Correction setting has caused the recorded audio to be hidden before zero. Audacity has brought it back to start at zero. You may have to use the Time Shift Tool (<---> or F5) to drag the track to the right place." That error message in older versions of Au...

Re: 2 second delay on first playback

On further testing (on Linux), I notice there is a delay when first playing after changing the selection, but the delay is only about half a second, not 2 seconds.

Re: Replace the storage with SQLite

The Audacity project DTD is available here: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/src/xml/audacityproject.dtd Please note that this has not been updated in a long while and is not quite complete. For example, the "label" tag now supports "selLow" and "selHigh"...
