Re: RMS Normalize

where can I find the reference algorithm you used for this plugin? This plug-in cleverly "cheats". It lets Audacity do the heavy lifting of calculating the initial RMS value, then simply amplifies (multiplies the sample values by a constant value) as required. The basic algorithm for meas...

Re: How to fix .WAV file, 72MB, no duration

We transfer the WAV files from the recorder through a USB cord. You could try deleting the file from your computer and then transferring it again, just in case it became corrupted during the transfer. Does the file play on the recorder? If that doesn't work, then I suspect the recording may not be ...

Re: Problem Recording output of ZEDi10 4 channel mixer

In the device toolbar , try setting "host" to " WASAPI ", then the input device to: " Line (2- ZEDi10) " then the number of recording channels to: 4 If you are using the ZEDi10 as the playback device, then you probably need to set the playback device as "ZEDi-10 ST...

Re: Unstable pitch when recording acoustic guitar

It's "probably" the mic, but there's still a slim chance that it could be a problem with the computer's USB. Given that you've seen the problem on two computers, it's very unlikely that the computers are at fault, but nevertheless, if you buy a more expensive USB mic, check the returns pol...

Re: M4A exporting

I don't use M4A myself, but from the Release Notes: M4A (AAC) exports: The Quality Slider in "Specify AAC Options" has no effect if the FFmpeg library is built with the libvo-aac encoder, as are recommended builds of FFmpeg for Windows and Mac OS X. Workaround: You can specify a constant b...

Re: How to fix .WAV file, 72MB, no duration

How do you transfer the WAV files from the recorder to your Mac?

If you make a new recording on the device, does that work?

How much space is left on the recorder?

Re: How to fix .WAV file, 72MB, no duration

My guess is that either it's not really a WAV file, or it is corrupted beyond repair.
Where did the file come from?

Re: (soft) Limiter (with make-up gain)

If I intentionally put the show peaks at -3dB and apply a limiter, it might create a "denser" No that won't do anything. Limiters are intended to act on sound when a peak exceeds the given threshold, and process the sound so that the peaks don't exceed the threshold. If there are no peaks...
