Re: dbFS/dB for system gain - difference from 94dB calibrated recording?

What does 1.9 mean on dBFS scale? It means 1.9 dB above the full-scale reference. Integer formats (such as "signed 8-bit", "unsigned 8-bit", "signed 16-bit", "signed 24-bit") have an absolute limit of 0 dB. This is the point at which the format runs out of bi...

Re: Command line information not working on Windows

The short answer is that this is not supported on Windows. The longer answer: If an executable is marked as a “Windows” (GUI) program rather than a “Console” program, then the process is created without any STDOUT or STDERR handles - so printf output is discarded. Furthermore when the “Windows” mark...

Re: Audacity 2.3.2 doesn't recognize equalization curves

2) Audacity doesn't recognize my saved equalization curves. There is currently a bug that only allows equalization curves to be properly loaded in the "Draw" mode. There's another bug that causes points to be lost in an EQ curve if there are multiple points at the same frequency (where th...

Re: Exporting Multi-Stream Ogg File

Audacity only reads the primary stream and can only write one stream.
Multiple channels are supported, but only one stream.

Re: Does the latest Audacity have Volume Automation?

I've been trying to decide if I should get BIAB, and wanted to know if anyone thought it was worth it or not, especially since the RealBand product isn't cutting it for OP. Band in a Box have their own support channel here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support.htm and a forum here: https://www.pgmusic.c...

Re: Improving noise reduction

I selected a small, odd noise that had appeared three times in the recording, but audacity gave me a pop-up saying "selected file too short". A little "trick" you can do in such cases, is to temporarily repeat the selected noise a few times (Effect menu > Repeat) so that it is l...

I have an original Zoom H4 and it's a bad idea to consider using external microphones with it because of poor performance. The "N" versions are said to be better in this respect, though you do need to use microphones that are sensitive enough to kick out a reasonably strong signal as the ...

I can't figure out how to RESUME recording after I have hit the pause button.
Click the Pause button again (or keyboard shortcut: "P")
