Re: WAS File Issue

"WAS File Issue" I'm guessing that should be "WAV file issue"? I am trying to convert an MP# to a WAV file that will work on Windows 3.11. You mean "MP3 to WAV"? Do you mean that you want the WAV file to work on Windows 3.11, or that you want the converter to run on Wi...

Re: follow up How to generate arbitrary waveforms

The "format" function prints an expression to the specified 'destination' (http://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/nyquist/nyquist-doc/xlisp/xlisp-ref/xlisp-ref-121.htm) If the 'destination' is NIL , a string is created and returned with the contents of the 'format'. If a Nyquist scrip...

Re: Distortion when recording from vinyl

My gut feeling is that the level is too high going INTO the pre-amp, and the Citronic level controller only affects line input, not phono imput That's possible. I did as a last resort try switching to line input, Please post a short sample of that, and a short sample using the phono input. Just a f...

Re: RMS Normalize

I started out trying to normalise to -18 but when that kept pushing everything into the clip-zone I kept knocking it down until I got to around -30, at which point it stopped boosting the loud parts up past zero.

The current version (2.2.1) is available here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ I'd suggest that you uninstall the old version before ...
