I doubt that we are going to be able to offer much help. Audacity interfaces with the computer sound system via PortAudio (http://www.portaudio.com/). Audacity handles audio data internally as 32-bit float. In most cases this means that there will be no rounding of data values that Audacity receives...

No need to resample down again. The exported file will be at the sample rate of the "project rate" (bottom left corner of the main Audacity window)

Can you import this file with Audacity?

In short, TERPRI prints an EOL character.
(the name "terpri" comes from "terminate print")

Comparing signals is quite tricky, and not always intuitive. "Loudness" is a subjective measurement, dependent on how we hear things. Both 0 Hz and 22000 Hz are "silent" (zero "loudness"), because they are inaudible regardless of how "big" they are. There's an...

Audacity's noise generators all generate random samples in the range +/- 1, which is then amplified to the required level. The highest (or most negative) sample value determines the "peak" level. Note that because they are random signals, very short selections are likely to have a peak amp...

Are the problem drives external (USB) drives? There's a lot of technical detail about USB drives that I don't know, but as a fluffy guideline, they tend to be more reliable when used for simple file transfer - copying a file from one drive to another. Writing data that is generated by an application...

A simple way to directly generate short (just a few seconds) of violet noise To directly generate longer selections, Trebor's method is better. This code, when run in the Nyquist Prompt, allows you to specify the amplitude of the noise: ;control amp "Amplitude" float "" 0.8 0 1 ...

A simple way to directly generate short (just a few seconds) of violet noise, is to run this code in the Nyquist Prompt effect: (setf ln (truncate len)) (setf ar (snd-fetch-array *track* ln ln)) (setf prev 0) (dotimes (i ln (snd-from-array 0 *sound-srate* ar)) (setf new (- 0.5 (rrandom))) (setf (are...

1) Generate white noise
2) Apply the Equalization effect, using "Draw" mode, and set the graph with two points, one at 20 Hz, -60 dB, and another at 22000 Hz, 0 dB.
