Thanks for the report xerkon. Yes it is a bug. I've added it to the Audacity bug tracker.

confused a bit about differences between setq and setf There's two schools of thought: 1) Always use SETF (it does everything that SETQ does and more) 2) Use SETQ for setting simple numeric values, and use SETF for everything else. I think that historically SETQ came first. It is just a shorthand w...

I looked at it for a good while trying to figure out what math error he could have made and fixed in 2014, but I couldn't come up with anything. There appears to be a couple of errors. Regarding his "magic number "23.08". Unfortunately he didn't explain where this came from, but it a...

One way to step through a sound in blocks, is to grab a section of the sound as an array, and then convert the array back into a sound for analysis (or analyze the array directly if appropriate). Here's a simple example that grabs blocks of 1000 samples and performs very simple analysis (prints the ...

Hi PiTeRr, I wasn't quite sure what you were asking for, but having read through your posts again - Am I right in thinking that you want to be able to generate, with a Nyquist script, a stereo track with the "randomised" tones in one channel, and square pulses in the other, so that the pul...

Because "modules" are still quite experimental and evolving, there's a restriction that modules have to be built (from source code) on the same day as Audacity is built (to ensure that the versions match). There is currently no ready-built Nyquist Workbench, and it has unfortunately been a...

Themes are a new feature and still under active development. The developers are aware that making themes is currently harder than it should be, and we are likely to see incremental improvements with new Audacity releases. The documentation crew aim to keep the manual up to date with the current rele...
