Re: Fade amplify effect in and out.

I assume that you mean that you have a guitar track that starts at one volume level, jumps to a higher level, stays at the higher level for a bit, then jumps back down to the lower level. Is that correct? If so, find the exact points where the level jumps, and create a "split" at each poin...

Re: Nightmare Project, cannot export, mix, or render audio

and thought perhaps I should update to the most current version Do you know (or can you find out) which version you were using before? Until we resolve this, don't delete anything related to this project - don't delete any backups or exported files or files that were imported into the project. Firs...

Re: Is one method more lossy?

I'd do the whole thing in Audacity. For splitting the track into 20 parts, just add a "point label" at each split position, then use "Export Multiple". Labels: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/label_tracks.html Export Multiple: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/export_multip...

Re: Export audio with labels in a .csv file

What do you mean by "raw timestamped audio"? The raw audio data has numeric values for each sample. Typically for a stereo track there are 44200 samples per second, so for a 3 minute track there are 15,876,000 numbers. To print that to a csv file would require about 8 bytes per number, so ...

Re: Curser too small

Audacity is built with WxWidgets, which is a cross-platform toolkit for making graphical applications that work on multiple platforms (Audacity supports Windows, macOS and Linux). In WxWidgets, custom cursors are created as 32x32 bitmaps, and as far as I'm aware, there is not yet any way to scale th...

Re: Effective differeence between Amplify filter and Gain control in track label

I did discover that with enveloping you can't fade out completely. That's true, and is because envelopes are logarithmic (the log of zero is "undefined"). However, you can fade down to -140 dB, which is well below the smallest 16-bit number. adjusting the track gain doesn't seem to have a...

Re: batch process / chain / macro = 2 questions

With only 20 files to convert it'd probably be quicker to do it manually in Audacity rather than writing and testing a macro. But it's good practice. I'm finding Macros much easier to use now that I've used them a bit. In this specific case, only 2 Macro commands are required, so pretty quick and e...

Do you know any experts in LISP and Nyquist who live in Austin TX?
Sorry no, though you only live about 1400 miles from the man who created the Nyquist language ;)

Re: Saving a sample file for Noise Reduction Profile?

how many people do you know that switch sample rates enough times to worry about it? Just about everyone that work primarily with "files" rather than "recordings". We have a lot of users that rarely if ever make recordings themselves. While free downloaded files are usually 4410...
