Re: Zoom Audacity Window

I'm not sure what you are asking. Is your question the same as: "Why doesn't Audacity support high dpi displays?"

Re: tracking playback lag

You need to calibrate your system to automatically correct the delay. It's called "latency correction". See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/latency_test.html

Re: Missing plugin, even though it says Enabled

By default, Audacity's Effect menu lists built-in effects first, then plug-in effects. The Limiter is a plug-in effect. Scroll down the list below "Wah Wah".

Re: Question marks on device labels

You could try setting the Windows "system locale".
Alternatively, if you have the "host" setting in the device toolbar set to "WASAPI", try setting it to "MME".

Re: U-Law Import is inverted

A bit more information from a Google search: μ-Law is a general companding algorithm with the formula: y = F(x) = sign(x)*Vmax*(ln(1+(ux/Vmax)) / ln(1+u)) where -Vmax <= x <= Vmax and u is the 'mu' of the law. or as Wikipedia describes : F(x) = sgn(x) * ( ln(1 + |x|) / ln(1 + u) ) where -1 <= y <= 1...

Re: U-Law Import is inverted

Some clues about the format: It is clearly some sort of logarithmic encoding (you can see that by looking at the waveforms, and u255law appears to be close even if not exact). The minimum absolute hex value in the BIN files is (unsigned) 0x00 The maximum absolute hex value in the BIN files is (unsig...

Re: U-Law Import is inverted

I imagine I can use Audacity's sample data export to get numbers Nyquist can use The "numbers" in the data dumps are 8-bit values, so whether you use Sample Data Export or a Hex editor on the BIN files, you will just get hex values in the range 00 to FF. Without either a format specificat...
