Re: Wish-list on Compressed saving

PS I just saw, in another section (Import/Export), one point I would like to vote: the OFR! I've added your vote. It would probably not be possible to build support for OptimFrog directly into Audacity because the OptimFrog license is not compatible with Audacity's GPL v2 open source software licen...

Re: Inversion

I know what inversion is. I am not interested in melodies, but in any case I mean inverting a complex texture of sounds vertically. Does Audacity do it? As I wrote previously, Audacity inverts in the signal processing sense only. That is, all positive samples (where the waveform is above the track'...

Re: Auto-Fit WIDTH and HEIGHT

"Auto-fit track height" doesn't seem to do anything me in 2.2.0 , (or 2.1.3) : No automatic vertical zooming occurring ... It's not supposed to "zoom", it's supposed to expand the track vertically, like grabbing the bottom edge of the track with the mouse and dragging down. (It ...

Re: CALF effects, they do not work.

It is still possible to use Calf plug-ins "with" (rather than "in") Audacity. If you use Jack Audio System, you can use the plug-ins in "Calf Jack Host", and route the signal through the plug-in rack before being recorded. This way you can either add live (real-time) ef...

Re: Cannot record through my Mic Jack from record player amp

Also, the program should have an update link on the Help dropdown box. Audacity 2.2.0 has a link to the download page: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/help_menu.html#Check_for_Updates..._.C2.A0 The developers are not keen to add actual downloading from within the application, as that would requi...

Re: Why does noise reduction use noise gating rather than so

"Smoothing" is one of the complications. When attenuating a frequency band, the algorithm not only adjusts the signal in that band, but to a lesser extent it affects adjacent bands. This helps to reduce tinkly artefacts and boundary effects. There is also statistical analysis in determinin...

Re: A question about Audacity's suitabliity

Audacity is not very suitable for that application. Audacity is primarily designed for "off-line" use - by that I mean, that you record something, then do something with the recorded data. Audacity doesn't do things "in real time", but rather "after the event".

Re: Inversion

I mean vertical inversion, the thing which J.S.Bach and many others did. "Inversion" in the sense of J.S.Bach is different and unrelated to "inversion" in a signal processing sense. The only similarity is that they turn "something" the other way up. In the case of J.S....

Re: Why does noise reduction use noise gating rather than so

Is it really just gating on a per-frequency basis? No, it's a bit more complex than that, but "gating on a per-frequency basis" gives a general idea of the sort of thing that it's doing. The best description is the code, but sadly it is not at all easy to read (at least, I don't find it e...
