Re: Experiencing dropouts when using click track

Change the default sample format back to 32-bit float, and try changing the sample rate in the Windows Sound settings for the recording and playback devices to "44100" (the same as Audacity's default).

Re: Can't load mp4 (mp41/avc1) encoded audio files [solved. sort of]

[...] is an Advanced Audio Coding file. Audacity cannot open this type of file. You need to convert it to a supported audio format I don't think it's possible for software to tell the difference between a corrupt file and an unsupported file type. In both cases, what the software sees is that it is...

Re: CALL: Configuration as comparative sound recorder

This requires two tracks, one for the model, and the other to record the model followed by the imitation. There is usually a fixed or variable backspace, for repetition. Do you have the first track (the "model" that you want to imitate)? Does it have gaps between the phrases for your repe...

Re: Macro to delete original file?

1. Is there a way to add "delete original file" to the macro? No there isn't, and I'd highly recommend checking that your exported files are correct before deleting the original files. 2. Is there a way to move the converted file to the original folder instead of "cleaned" folde...

Re: Additional Nyquist plugins - where to download in one package?

There isn't a "package" of Nyquist plug-ins, and because many of the published plug-ins are very much "minority interest", I really don't think it's worthwhile for us to provide a big bundle of them. There is a list of "officially published" Nyquist plug-ins here: https...

Re: A macro to add silence depending on the cursor position

My songs have some kind of "almost" silence at the beginning. I need that the whole silence at the beginning will be exactly 2.5 seconds, so I have to measure the amount of existing silence so I know how much to add or how much to cut. My idea was to "select" the real song, leav...

"Software: Lavf58.27.103".
"Lavf58.27.103" is FFmpeg.

"Cycle of 5th SoundEngine" is unrelated to Audacity.

Re: A macro to add silence depending on the cursor position

What would be the way to get the start and end of a selection? Do you really need to? If you want to do something (such as insert silence) at the start of the selection, then you only need to set the start + end of the selection with: SelectTime:Start="0" End="0" RelativeTo=&quo...
