Re: upgrading Audacity

The text appearing is basically the same as the one I sent you the other day (alert from Mozilla Firefox). Where is that? I've an idea what the problem might be, but unless you tell us precisely what the error message says I can only guess. Please tell us what the exact error message is and then we...

Re: Allow normalizing and amplifying with amplitude

I think dB is bad. The worst places of dB that could be used is waveforms and spectrograms. Waveforms and spectrograms are much better with linear volume scale. and yet "ACX" specify that for audiobooks to be accepted for sale by Amazon, the peak level must be no more than -3 dBFS. I'm ve...

Re: Request for API key using Scripting Module

Do you have any experience building C++ projects? The scripting interface is an optional module that is not built by default. The module needs to be compiled on the same day as Audacity for it to work. The module is called mod-script-pipe. I've not tried building it for quite a while, but as far as ...

Re: Playback Cue List

Audacity does not use cue lists, but it does have "labels" that can be used to mark regions.

Sort and Shuffle functions

This came up in another topic recently, and I thought that it could be of interest to others. Nyquist includes a function for sorting lists (http://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/nyquist/nyquist-doc/xlisp/xlisp-ref/xlisp-ref-242.htm) For example, to sort a list of numbers in ascending order: (...

Re: Allow normalizing and amplifying with amplitude

Personally I think it was a mistake for Audacity to use linear amplitude scales at all. Outside of Audacity, dB scale is used everywhere in audio, because in general, the dB scale is much better suited for audio than a linear scale. "dB" is not difficult once you get the idea that half or ...

That's a bug. Split Delete should be available for labels and not just audio.
It's been fixed for the next release. In the mean time, use "Split Cut" instead.

Re: Quick conversion calculator

You can't copy results. That's a bug / limitation in Windows. Here's a workaround. This version copies the output text into the Nyquist debug window. (Click the "Debug" button rather than the "OK" button). A known limitation of this workaround version: Some of the formatting in ...
