Re: Addinig Punch-n-Roll capability to Audacity.

I also began my recording career on reel to reel tape. Hallelujah for non-destructive editing.and multiple takes that don't wipe out what was previously recorded. You can of course do pre-roll quite easily with Audacity. Just delete the bad bit of the previous take, then click o the track a couple o...

Re: Spectrogram analysis help

the fundamental one (is this the actual frequency of the sound source???) The only sound that is a single frequency is a "sine wave". All other sounds are comprised of many frequencies. Often the dominant frequencies are harmonically related (exact multiples) If you look at "Analyze ...

Re: Audacity settings help

It is highly recommended to keep the default bit format at 32-bit float. This will not affect exported files, but it does improve the sound quality when processing, and avoids to possibility of permanent damage due to clipping during processing. The bit format of exported files is entirely dependent...

Re: New to Audacity but cannot get it to work

My main source is from web sites. Generally the best way to record audio that is playing on the computer is to use "WASAPI loopback". See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html#Windows_WASAPI_loopback_recording Note also that many website ...

Re: Audacity apparently causing Laptop issues

Last week or so, the laptop began playing up - working at glacial speed, crashing Mozilla, various apps (eg Live Mail) "Not Responding" for long periods. That could be due to Windows trying to do a big update. Try shutting down the computer completely (not just "sleep"), then re...

Re: endless loop - gaps

Now I want to compress it to fit on a cd. Do you have a CD player that will play MP3 CDs? An MP3 CD is simply a "data CD" with MP3 files on it. If you export from Audacity as mono, 64 kbps MP3, you will be able to fit well over 8 hours of data onto a CDR. Note that "audio CDs" a...

Re: Spectrogram analysis help

FFT analysis always has to compromise between frequency resolution and time resolution. A larger window size will improve the frequency resolution, but at the expense of blurring the time resolution. A smaller FFT window size will give better time resolution, but at the expense of reduced frequency ...

Re: installation on High Sierra from source

Some additional information about the ftp issue from one of the Audacity developers: The obstacle is building and installing the sc4 LADSPA plug-in, which perhaps they can live without. If so, then in XCode, choose the Project Navigator (the folder button in the left pane), click on Audacity. In the...
