Re: "Side-by-side configuration error" after Windows 10 upda

I have doubts about the side-by-side error being the actual cause of the problem, but you could try installing the new Audacity 2.2.2 beta version, which has a fix for the side-by-side error. The beta version is available here: https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-devel.html/ (be careful to use the text...

Re: Art M-One Condenser Mic clipping like crazy (loud singin

I was not able to fix it, however recording using Adobe Audition is actually gets rid of a lot of clipping. Enough for the time being. Do you guys have any idea why? i assumed that its the exact same audio signal coming through, so why would 1 software be able to reduce clipping but the other not? ...

Re: Minimum decibel cutoff for large quantity of files

In looking at the code, it seems like there are only two lines that need to be changed (9 and 13?) in order to get an amplitude level like the one found in Generate > Noise, but i have NO idea what to change them to. Line 9, from ;control mix "Noise mix (%)" real "" 20 0 100 to ...

Re: Playback settings mis-match

Audacity shouldn't make any difference, as it simply requests audio at a specified rate from the computer sound system, and then it's down to the sound system to either deliver audio at that sample rate, or to tell Audacity if it can't. So, try taking Audacity out of the equation. In the Windows Sou...

Re: 24- to 16-bit Workflow

is there any advantage at all in mastering at a sample frequency that's an exact multiple of the desired final format (88.2 down to 44.1) No, none whatsoever. It is often said that using 88.2 kHz is better than 96 kHz in the mistaken belief that it can be resampled "more exactly" by eithe...

Re: Utterly clueless, need help with "swishy" noise problem

Your recording level is far too low. Turn up the recoding level and get really close to the mic (use a " pop shield " to avoid wind blast) Also, check that all Windows "sound enhancements" are off? (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhanc...

Re: Art M-One Condenser Mic clipping like crazy (loud singin

Have you checked that all Windows "sound enhancements" are off? (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_ ... hancements)

Also, in the Windows Sound Control Panel, is the microphone set to record mono or stereo? (if it can be changed, try it both ways).

Re: [compare-shape]

The only other "documentation" that I'm aware of is the code: ; bias is [-1, 1] pulse width. sound or scalar. ; hz is a sound or scalar (defun osc-pulse (hz bias &optional (compare-shape *step-shape*)) (compare bias (osc-tri hz) compare-shape)) and ; compare-shape is a shape table -- o...

Re: Scripts execution and Pop-up message boxes

The ones that comes up are per file the "Normalize" and after the "convert to MP3" showing a progress bar. It is not possible to suppress those messages, though as you are on Linux, you could set the application window that you are working with to "Always on top" (most...

Re: Lost All My Plugins During Upgrade and They Won't Activa

Dragged them to Audacity folder There are different ways to install depending on the type of plug-in. For Nyquist plug-ins (files have a ".ny" file name extension), the plug-ins should be put in the "Plug-Ins" folder where your current version of Audacity is installed. VST plug-...
