Can we assume that's to keep it from responding to DC Offset?

Yes I think so.

The code at ACX?

the noise measurement is not conditioned

Actually, I've just checked the code and it is "conditioned" a little. It is passed through a 10 Hz high pass filter prior to measuring the noise level.
So the noise level will include at calls, but will largely ignore Earthquakes.

The noise-floor measurement is; the quietest 0.5 seconds found in the selection. If all of the silences include breaths, then it will not be a true measure of the noise floor. When selecting the region to test, ensure that the selection includes at least on bit, longer than 0.5 seconds, that is true...

Try setting "Latency compensation" to zero. As waxcylinder wrote, when using WASAPI, if there is no active audio stream, then there is nothing (not even zeros) for Audacity to record, so Audacity is left waiting for the data. In many cases this is rather convenient as you can set Audacity ...

When you export from Audacity to FLAC, there is a choice of 16-bit or 24-bit. If you are converting from 32-bit float to 16 or 24 bit, then I think it should be pretty obvious that there has to be some sort of rounding. If we warn about this for FLAC, then logically we would have to warn users for e...

These macros work. They may not be optimum I was interested to see what you would come up with Bill. I agree, there's no really elegant way to do this with normal Macros. The best solution that I came up with, was to create a "Nyquist Macro", and use it in a normal macro. Normal Macros ha...

What are your settings in "Edit > Preferences > Devices" in the "Latency" section?

No that's not possible with Audacity.

When the process reaches about 1GB I get an unhandled exception message. What process? If you are referring to Nyquist, then I can't guarantee that a 64-bit build will solve the problem. Nyquist is essentially a 32-bit library written in C, with 64-bit "compatibility" added. There will pr...
