and there's the envelope follower.
Rather than a gate, a downward expander could be used (like a gate with a soft knee), which would avoid sudden and probably noticeable "switching" of the filter. That's essentially what a de-esser is.

Time Tracks are fast: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/time_tracks.html

The (mod-script-pipe) scripting interface in Audacity 2.3.0 will allow you to mute and unmute tracks. This may not be available in earlier versions. Audacity cannot play two tracks from different time positions at the same time, and track audio cannot be moved to a different time during playback. Mi...

A simple de-essing strategy is to band-pass the sibilant frequencies, invert their waveform, then mix them back with the original audio. Assuming the original & band-passed waveforms remain in-phase, then when inverted they will be in anti-phase and will attenuate any excessive sibilance. No en...

I'm closing this topic as it involves information that could be material evidence in legal proceedings.
While we are very happy to help users of Audacity software with technical support, for legal issues, advice should be sought from legal professionals.

I don't think that this is really a good approach for making a de-esser. Certainly you need some sort of envelope follower to track the amplitude, and you need to use that to modify the gain of the "S" frequency band, but using a "gate" type control will abruptly switch the effec...

I got pipeclient.py to run. Is there any documentation about the commands that can be used? There is, but scripting is currently under heavy development, so the commands are changing radically in new versions of Audacity. Note that scripting is still classed as "experimental", so it is su...

Thanks adaptiman,

I'll lock this thread and edit the title to make it easier find for anyone building on a Pi.

Spam must be horrific since I can't even edit my post. We generally prefer that users don't edit their previous posts (other than correcting typos immediately after posting), even when they have sufficient forum privileges to do so, because it can make topic threads impossible to follow.

And what will go into that Portable Settings folder? When Audacity finds a "Portable Settings" folder, Audacity uses that (rather than the default locations) for the following files and folders: AutoSave (folder) Audacity creates one "autosave" file for each open project. These ...
