Audacity Forum

Routing sound through the computer via software is not instant, it always takes a bit of time, which is heard as a delay/echo. To get (virtually) instant playback, the sound has to be routed through hardware (wired connections), which requires using hardware that has a wired connection from the inpu...

Doesn't happen for me on Xubuntu.
My guess is that it is specific the AwesomeWM. Have you tried with a different WM? Is Audacity OK on AwesomeWM other than the splash screen?

Do you have a USB pnp device plugged in to record from?
USB devices should be plugged in before you launch Audacity.

For efficiency, Nyquist uses (by default) 2 different sample rates. The "sound rate" is the sample rate for sounds in the current environment. In Audacity effects, this comes from the sample rate of the selected track. The other sample rate is the "control rate". This is intended...

Warbling playback from a cassette is often caused by the cassette tape sticking, which may be due to the cassette being old and used for a long time (the tape tends to become sticky), or the tape being wound too tightly. Old tapes also tend to become brittle and can break easily, so must be handled ...

With your configuration you have created a "feedback loop". The output is feeding back into the input, so the sound rapidly goes round and round, getting louder each time, quickly resulting in "howl!". Using a microphone and speakers is one likely source of the feedback (sound fr...

I would like to simplify it even further and have working code for just the fade-out part. That's this bit: ;version 3 (setq fade-length 0.005) (setq dur (get-duration 1)) (abs-env (control-srate-abs *sound-srate* (let* ((fl fade-length) (env (pwlv 0 fl 1 (- dur fl) 1 dur 0))) (mult s env)))) Note ...

I'll post this here as it appears to be difficult to find verifiable facts regarding hearing of sounds above 20kHz. https://asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1121/1.2761883 The above paper indicates that in laboratory conditions, a few individuals have been found to be able perceive frequencies above 20...

I've scanned through your initial post, and not found a single "?"
