and didn't realize that the invert method is affected that much by different re-encodes of the same song. That's the amazing thing about compressed audio formats - they throw away 80% of the data without it "sounding" any different. The downside is that it IS different - it is not possibl...

If you create or edit the Macro file directly (in a text editor), then you need to include the quotes yourself. Similarly if you access the command via a scripting language (such as Nyquist, or Python via Mod-script-pipe), then you need to include the quotes. If you are entering the path/file name v...

So do where should we document this - on the Macros page, on an appropriate Export page, both? Before we rush off to "fix" this, there are similar problems with many of the scripting commands. For example, have you tried changing Preferences via the scripting commands? (it works, once you...

Do you only have MP3 versions? I'm unable to reduce the drumming by much because the MP3 encoding shifts the phase of high frequencies, making it impossible to achieve cancellation. Here's a short sample of what I've got after invert and mix: invert.flac And a short sample after invert and mix and t...

I also found that some people create the karaoke versions (instrumentals) using Audacity, etc. and use it videos. Does this also projects any copyright issue?

Making a karaoke version from a commercial recording does not avoid copyright issues.

When using Export2, you have to give the full file name (including path and filename extension). Example: "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\my file.flac" (this works) Not: C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\my file.flac (the file name is not quoted) Not: "my file.flac" (no path given) Not: &...

Radio Shack used to sell those for a couple of bucks for making your own microphone. Though not all miniature electret capsules are equal. It is possible to get then with 20 - 20 kHz frequency response and 80 dB SNR, and they still only cost a few dollars, but for good performance you also need hig...

Steve: since Export2 is likely yo be a useful tool for Macro users - should we consider adding a bit about it in this page: I think we need a lot more documentation about Macros and Scripting. Currently we have bare bones reference material, and not much more, but it is still very early days for Sc...

I suspect this is a problem hard coded into Audacity. Sort of. The problem is that Audacity does not yet fully support high dpi. Audacity uses WxWidgets to provide cross-platform compatibility. Currently it is using Wx 3.1. The developers of WxWidgets are working to improve high dpi support in Wx 3...

If a user enters something cheeky like ' or ))<>((, nothing happens, but maybe they had that coming. If the user enters something like this, the plug-in silently fails (error in debug only): (2.25 3 2.0 5 3) (3.3 2.7) (5.4 2 7.5 (3.2 5) (4 2)) 4 (7.8 9.2) (13.3) and I think that kind of user error ...
