Re: recording problem

If you launched Audacity before connecting the device, shut down Audacity and restart it. If that's not the problem, try shutting down the computer, disconnect the USB device and visually check the lead and connector. Reboot the computer, and wait until it is fully started . Then reconnect the USB l...

Re: Building 2.3 on Windows

I could not get Git Extensions to "find" Git executable until I installed Git for Windows I've just had confirmation that the GitExtensions installer used to include the git installer, but no longer does so. I'll update the build instructions accordingly. Thanks for posting your notes. I ...

Re: Add Labels Macro Command

What action will cause the added labels to be sorted? Using the Label Editor does. Probably other things too. Pops up dialog box, prompting for label name/text, for each AddLabel command. So in this case; 3 times. I can reproduce this by enabling " Use dialog for the name of new label " i...

Re: New Label Dialog Preference & Macro

I presume that this solves the mystery of your other topic ? "Use dialog for the name of new label" ought to be ignored by macro AddLabel command. I'd guess that most people that turn this option on, actually want this behaviour. If you want it on normally, but off when running a particula...

Re: How to prevent Audacity from opening each track in a new window?

Pleased to see that you've solved the problem. The "Open" command is primarily for opening "projects". When you select and audio file with the "Open" command, it opens a new project and imports the selected file into it, so if you select multiple files, it opens a new p...

Re: Generate Sine / Fat Sine with Envelope at specific Hz frequencies

Nyquist is extremely powerful when it comes to sound synthesis, but often you will need to construct the synthesizer functions yourself from the provided primitives. Example - 3 slightly detuned sine oscillators: ;type generate (defun fat1 (hz spread duration) (setf spread (/ spread 200.0)) (let* ((...

Re: Recording streams

I've gotten to where it sounds good, but still no control over record volume. I have to set it at the source, a bit inconvenient. That's normal. You are recording the signal that is being sent to the audio playback, so only the playback volume affects the recorded signal level. The "fix" ...

Re: Default plugin issues: Regular Interval Labels

This effect could do with a rewrite to take advantage of being classed as a "tool". A quick fix for own use only (hopefully I'll have time to rewrite the effect before 2.3.1 is released): Open the file "equalabel.ny" in NotePad++ and change line 3 from: $type tool to: $type tool ...

Re: Default plugin issues: can't translate multi-lines

Good work Phroneris :D Perhaps "\t" string on the original *.ny plugins shall be ripped as plain "t" In a normal Nyquist string "\t" is "tab" character, but the translation process is (incorrectly) stripping the backslash. The minus sign "-" belongs ...

Re: Can't cut audio

I suspect that Windows may be messing with your head. Try exporting the edited track with a new and unique name, then see if the edited track really is edited. By the way, Audacity 2.0.5 is pretty old now. The current version is 2.3.0 and is available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityte...
