Re: RMS Normalize

Let' suppose, for sake of simplicity, to have an audio track whose samples are: 5, 2, 10 What are the units? When dealing with sample values, we normally work on a linear scale range of +/- 1, or a dB range relative to full scale (where 0dB = full scale). There's a huge difference between multiplyi...

Re: Using the envelope tool

If you Zoom in vertically on the blue "Envelope" line, that will allow your envelope to be more precise. There are very few cases where the envelope needs to be exact, so long as you can get it close enough that it sounds right. You would probably find things easier if your waveform was no...

Re: Time Markers to assist computations

I've now got an i7 laptop with SSD, but my previous laptop was a dual core pentium with spinny disk. On that laptop, things got slow with large files, so I just chopped up large projects into smaller projects (between 30 minutes to 1 hour max). When necessary, I'd stitch the projects together at the...

Re: Split Stereo Track To Left And Right Tracks Audacity 2.2

Audacity no longer makes a special case for Left / Right channel tracks. A "Left channel track" is nothing more and nothing less than a mono track that is panned all the way to the left. If you select a Stereo track, then from the track drop-down menu select "Split Stereo Track",...

Re: RMS Normalize

This is the missing part, for me: how to define the "constant value" to use? It is clearly related to the target RMS the user wants to achieve, but how? Perhaps a little surprising, but it's pretty much the same as "peak normalization". Just as amplifying a sound by +3 dB causes...

Thanks. That has provided a complete audacity.cfg, but there it is again:

Code: Select all

ExportFormat_SF1=131074
I'll need to check that out on a Mac to see what's happening, because it looks wrong.

Re: Time Markers to assist computations

Reading through your first post again, wouldn't it be easier to simply split the track that you are trying to synchronize, into chunks, cutting out any "dead" areas (such as adverts / silences), then use the Time Shift tool to drag the pieces so that they line up (visually) with the other ...

No, that's not the solution.

How are the speakers connected to the computer? I'd suggest plugging them into the UMC-202hd interface, then set Audacity to use the UMC for both recording and playback (in the device toolbar)

Re: Time Markers to assist computations

This should be fairly easy to code The pasted time value would either need to be in one specified format (such as decimal time in seconds, which Audacity uses internally), or there would need to be detection, validation and conversion for all supported formats. Even with the constraint that pasted ...
