Re: Audacity 2.3.1 no longer opens mp4 audio

Audacity, has always been able to open the audio from an .mp4 file Just for information, Audacity has never supported MP4 without help from either FFmpeg or QuickTime. Also, the current version of Audacity is 2.3.2 (available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/)

Re: are Macros intermediate Steps only RAM?

are the intermediate Steps written to disk or are managed just in RAM? It depends what's in the Macro. If there are multiple audio processing steps, they are applied sequentially, reading from disk and writing to disk. is there a way to make them only in RAM? You could create a RAM disk and set Aud...

Re: recording level too high or low, There's no gradation.

PLEASE!!! The macro was a side issue. For a week now, I've been trying to get an answer to my biggest problem, but all you talk about is a macro side issue. I don't care about that. This is why we strongly encourage limiting topics to one question only. I can't record anything as the levels jump fr...

Re: Sliding Equalization

This is how I would do it: ... make a duplicate track (Select the track then Ctrl+D). Apply the EQ that you want to the duplicate track (Effect memu > Equalization) To go from the original track to the EQ'd track smoothly; fade out the original track and fade in the EQ'd track. (Effect > Fade In / F...

Re: Frequency analysis on White Noise depending on window size?

The same way we calculate approximate integrals, the value stays basically the same after changing the bin size. But if you do that, then you will also scale sine tones and a 0 dB sine tone will have a different level depending on the window size. You can of course export the raw data from Plot Spe...

Re: Frequency analysis on White Noise depending on window size?

when I double the window size, the level decreases by 3 dB. That is correct (and an interesting question). "Plot Spectrum" uses FFT analysis, which basically splits the sound into multiple "frequency buckets". For a pure sine tone, all of the sound will be in one "bucket&qu...

Re: "Distortion: Could not use settings below. Default settings will be used." error

Should we be changing that sentence order - or should we, as childishbeat suggests, explicitly state "False is 0, True is 1" ? Or both ? I've updated it in the alpha manual to: Boolean values must be given as 1 (true) or 0 (false). I'll email you (waxcylinder) to discus other improvements...

Re: "Distortion: Could not use settings below. Default settings will be used." error

As it doesn't say so in that part of the manual,... This is a very new feature and is still being actively developed. Most of the documentation for Scripting is by the developer that wrote the feature. Given the technical nature of Scripting, it's good that the developer provided documentation - so...

Re: AudacityToolbars detached from window

I think it's caused by a minor incompatibility with a previous version of Audacity. I'm guessing that you had an older version of Audacity before upgrading to 2.3.2. Am I right? Do you know which version you had previously? The fix is very easy, and you should only need to do it once: "View men...
