Audacity Forum

The red "clip" lines can sometimes be a bit misleading. They don't mean that the audio "IS" clipped, they mean that the audio is either clipped or dangerously close to clipping. Thanks to the Loudness War , a lot of commercially produced music is "dangerously close" to ...

So there should be no rounding or dithering (even if it was enabled). If dither is not disabled in Audacity, Audacity will add dither, even if it is not actually needed. Yeah but that doesn't address what is different about the wav file that causes Audacity export to be different. If you compare th...

Windows Media Player is crap?

I dont see anything out of the ordinary in my Audacity export settings. Probably nothing. You can test the format here: https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline Have you asked them what format they would like? Their software may have restrictive requirements, such as "256 kbps CBR mono". For...

I'm aware of the differences introduced by rounding and dither when converting to a lower bit depth. But my understanding is that CD RIP WAV should be 16 bit PCM. Same as the export. So where does the difference come from? Audacity works internally in 32-bit float, so export is always coming from 3...

Currently Macros support exporting as 16-bit WAV, FLAC, OGG or MP3. Additional options will be added eventually, but not until after the next release. (The next release has mostly "under the hood" updates and bug fixes).

Don't what the means of measuring interest is. Exactly what you've done - just comment on the thread. When this thread has gone quiet for a while, one of the moderators will transfer the information to the "Feature Request" page of the wiki, with a tally of how many people "voted&quo...

Are you applying ClipFix to a very long track?

I'll admit that I don't understand this discussion That's understandable considering half of it is nonsense. FFT is an integral, and the integral where the upper and lower limits are the same is zero, not "white noise". There is a basic misconception being made that a single sample value ...

For each frequency there's a phase. For your 0.5 volume 0Hz sine wave, each of the samples by themselves is a white noise, but the phase of all except 0Hz ends up cancelling and the overall result is a 0Hz sine wave. And due to the Fourier uncertainty principle it's impossible to actually fine-tune...
