Re: Desperately in need of assistance :<

There is no indication of any recoverable voices in that recording. There is a phenomena called " Pareidolia ", which is the tendency of the human brain to see (or hear) patterns in random stimulus. This includes hearing voices or music in random noise. This phenomena is very common - almo...

Re: Exporting to show all track titles

To get individual tracks on an audio CD, you need to export each song as a separate file. See tutorials 5 and 6 from this page: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_copying_tapes_lps_or_minidiscs_to_cd.html iTunes supports special "chapter" tags for some audio formats, which allow ...

your instructions at viewtopic.php?f=19&t=104224 work fine, both on a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.04, and Pop!_OS 19.04.
Super :)
I'll close this topic as "solved".

Re: Basic echo/reverb settings

The "Echo" effect is quite an extreme effect. It's not intended to produce a natural acoustic echo, but rather to produce a "repeat" type effect. For a more subtle Echo effect, reduce the "Decay factor". The Audacity Reverb effect includes 9 presets (see: https://manual...

Re: Labels to id3v2 mp3 chapters spec

Lacks the "length" or "TLEN" and is not recognized as chapters. I wonder if that's needed for this to work? Can we add the total length to that header to try? Try adding it manually to the "metadata.txt" and see if it works. If it does, then the plug-in could be easily...

Re: Recording playback sounds distorted

There's a few different problems with the sound. At the start of that sample, the recording level is too high, causing the waveform peaks to be clipped off. There are many discontinuities in the waveform. See the section "How can I prevent clicky recordings on Mac?" in the FAQs: https://ma...

Re: Should I learn Nyquist programming?

(2) extend the selected interval either side of the selection by x% of the selection width A Nyquist effect can only access the selected audio. It is not able to extend the selection. It's possible to make a Nyquist effect ignore part of the selection, but Nyquist has know knowledge of the existenc...

Is it possible it's something with my sound card?

Re: copy/paste between tracks

I process the same source using different techniques and sometimes what is in one track is better than in another so I would like to cut from the good one and paste it into a track which is collecting the best bits of the other tracks. As waxcylinder wrote, there are several ways to do it. This is ...
