Re: no sound on Audacity

I've deleted your duplicate post (the first one did come through, as you can see). I'll also post the data from your file here so that we can refer to it more easily: Default recording device number: 1 Default playback device number: 3 ============================== Device ID: 0 Device name: Microso...

Re: I received an aup file and cannot open it

To open an AUP (AUdacity Project) file, you need to have both parts of the project - the AUP file and the _data folder. Both must be in the same location on your computer.
You will also require the Audacity application which is available here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/

Re: I received an aup file and cannot open it

the error message is "windows can't open this file" That sounds like a Windows message rather than an Audacity message. Do you have the AUP file and the _data folder? If not, I'll go with Doug's suggestion and ask him to send you "regular" sound file (such as an MP3 or WAV file).

Re: Idea for plugin unless it exists.

I guess it could be described as a kind of audio "source separation" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_separation)

Envelope follower / ducker

Following on from this topic https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=326639#p326639 a question was asked about creating an effect that does the opposite of an envelope follower. Here's the plug-in, which I have named "Dynamic Mirror" (it is used to mirror the dynamic of one track on...

Re: Sample Data Export/Import is “bit-perfect”/lossless?

If “sample-data-export.ny” cannot handle more than 14 decimal places That's not what I wrote. It's a bit math-heavy, but this article explains a lot about floating point numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format The smallest positive number (IEEE standard) is abo...

Re: Sample Data Export/Import is “bit-perfect”/lossless?

Here's another curious thing about decimal representation of floating point numbers: (setf *float-format* "%.1000g") (print pi) ; returns 3.141592653589790007373494518105871975421905517578125 The actual value of PI is: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105... so the value r...

Re: Make "Silence Audio" non-destructive

If the auto-duck analyser was re-written to apply an envelope transformation rather than editing the original clip, it would combine the best of both worlds. I agree. I'd like to see the idea of envelopes expanded to become more general "controllers" that can control other things in real ...

Re: no sound on Audacity

When Audacity is launched, it looks at the computer's sound system to see what audio devices are available. Audacity does not look again unless you explicitly tell it to (Transport menu > Rescan Audio Devices). If audio devices are added or removed while Audacity is open, the actual audio devices in...
