What's the error?

No. Nyquist plug-ins are written in 7-bit ASCII (plain text), and processing is done by the 32-bit Nyquist interpreter which is built into Audacity, so Nyquist plug-ins are platform independent.

Re: Sample level n-pass filter

The purpose of the integer overflow for these filters is to allow seamless processing on loops. Normally one would process the audio before making the loop. If you are starting with a seamless loop and you want to apply effects, then a useful technique is to to repeat the loop 2 times (total of thr...

Re: Do I need another format of music other than MP3?

No, you don't need to convert it. iTunes supports MP3 format.
Converting the format of music will usually reduce the sound quality to some extent (like making a photocopy of a photocopy), so generally best not to convert the format unless you really have to.

Re: Plugin incompatibility

Which "Click Track plug-in"?
Where can I get this plug-in?

Are you aware that Audacity 2.2.2 has a click-track plug-in by default? It's called "Rhythm Track" http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/rhythm_track.html

Re: Strange spectrogram colors on selection

The colour of a selection is a modification of the underlying colour. The non-selected colour comes from the image cache, and the colour of the selected region is a "shifted" version of that colour. In the case of "spectral selection", the colour values are "rotated". T...

Re: How do I fix badly distorted audio? (mp3 sample attached

It's like trying to rebuild a house that has been demolished. If all the bricks and tiles and beams are still there, then it is at least a theoretical possibility that the house could be rebuilt by reassembling the pieces like a 3D jigsaw. Unfortunately, severe clipping (overload distortion) is wors...

Re: How do I fix badly distorted audio? (mp3 sample attached

Unfortunately that recording is beyond repair. There is too much damage to salvage anything useful.

Re: URGENT - multitrack saved as au files

I just need to figure out how to recompile them. Normally, Audacity will do that automatically when you open the .AUP file. The .AUP file contains the instructions that tell Audacity what to do with all of those .AU files. Without the instructions (the ".AUP" file), you just have a load o...

Re: Sample level n-pass filter

If you really want to do this sort of thing, you need to use MatLab , or Octave , or Nyquist . Of those three, Nyquist is by far the easiest to learn and use, and it is built into Audacity. The other two are unrelated to Audacity, and have their own support channels. Looking at your original post, i...

Re: 2 thin lines show on Main Desktop

I don't see that myself, but it could be a detached toolbar that has somehow become separated from the main application window.
Try resetting the toolbars (View menu > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars).
