Re: Select Track button - proposal

I presume that you noticed the same icon on the "Selection tool" Image, but if not, there's a handy tooltip to say: "Select Track".

Re: Select Track button - proposal

but I worry a little about the small size of the buttons - but I do note that Reaper makes use of similarly small buttons We already use that size button for closing / deleting the track, and they are only a smidgen smaller than most of the toolbar buttons.

Re: Using *SCRATCH* to process a selection of several tracks

I replaced store in my code with this macro Yes, that should work. You just need to ensure that the sound is retained in memory, which that should do. I can tell from how fast the plugin runs that it's still not convolving anything It's working for me. Here's my "before and after": tracks...

I want to play guitar and record backtrack at the same time,
What is your "backtrack"? Is it an audio file, or a vinyl LP, or what?

Re: Implement a logarithmic time scale for scientific analysis of spectrograms

Extracting raw numerical data from FFT is not particularly difficult - certainly a lot easier than implement a logarithmic time scale for tracks. Audacity has a built-in scripting language called " Nyquist ", which is an extension of XLISP (a dialect of LISP ). Nyquist includes FFT and inv...

Re: Steinberg UR12 - Audacity 2.2.2 - Linux Mint

As an initial test to see if your computer recognizes the UR12:
1) Open a terminal window
2) Enter the command:

Code: Select all

alsamixer
3) Press the F6 key to bring up the sound card selection option.
What options are available?

(Press "Esc" twice to close the card selection dialog and Alsa Mixer.)
