Re: Creating gapless playback for digitization, not CD rippi

I'm coming back around to there being some hidden setting or something in Audacity that is adding in the padding There's no hidden settings that do that. If you can give precise step by step instructions, I'll see if I can reproduce the problem. So far I can only reproduce the problem by exporting ...

Re: Exaggerated Claims about A to D Sampling Rates

Bigger bows to Shannon and Nyquist for deducing and proving such a counter-intuitive theorem which would eventually be revealed to be such an important discovery ;)

Re: Bit perfect editing

import and export the 16 bits WAV format in a lossless or a lossy way? That question is not as straightforward as it might appear. The short answer is that it is lossless, but with caveats: Audacity works internally in 32-bit float format. When converting from a higher bit format to a lower bit for...

Re: Still problems with the zoom level

The next release (2.2.1) is due out early December. There may not be time to get a fix for then. If not, then I would hope that it's fixed for 2.2.2.

Re: Audacity crashing when using chains

Thanks Steve. I have installed 2.2.1 RC1 but it is still not working. Firstly, ensure that you really are using RC1 (look in "Audacity > About Audacity"). Assuming that you are, what exactly is in the Chain? Does the problem occur with one specific chain, or all chains? Does it happen whe...

Re: Audacity crashing when using chains

Is this fix for the bug in Audacity 2.2.0 (the one referenced in this trail for 2.2.1) a safe site? FossHub is the official download partner for Audacity. The link given is the official Audacity link for 2.2.1 RC1 (and soon to be RC2). Even so, it is recommended that you follow the advice on this p...

Re: Resampling effect on data folder size & # files?

If a few hundred MB is a big deal, and you want to work with audio (or video), you should seriously consider getting more drive space. Just the normal functioning of the Windows operating system requires a substantial amount of free disk space to be available. Working with audio (or video) can very ...

Re: Resampling effect on data folder size & # files?

Is it that Audacity saved all the original data recorded at the higher sample rate PLUS the resampling results at the lower sampling rate? Audacity retains data so that you can "Undo" (Ctrl+Z). The Undo history is discarded when the project is closed. You can also manually discard the und...
