Re: Adding randomized silence (Windows 10, Audacity 2.1.3)

I think you could do with a better text editor - one that has "parentheses matching". Counting the brackets will send you crazy ;) Try NotePad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) and set the language option to "Lisp" (There are enough similarities between the "Nyquist" a...

Re: Adding randomized silence (Windows 10, Audacity 2.1.3)

"Amplification" is just "multiplication". "Multiplying a sound" applies the multiplication factor to each sample value, thereby scaling the amplitude. Multiplying by x2 is very close to +6 dB boost. Multiplying by 0.5 is very close to -6 dB (reduction). Note that for so...

Yes.
And for desktop machines, turn off "sleep" and "hibernate".

Re: Adding randomized silence (Windows 10, Audacity 2.1.3)

I was thinking about making a rrandom function in a pwlv envelope multiplied by 5 and also a truncate function to truncate it to an integer and recieve a condition of change of exactly multiple of 5 dB) There's a random integer function that you could use: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rbd/doc/nyquist/par...

Re: need speed

I still have a couple complete recordings that still play on Aud 2.0, but ship forward on 2.1. If you could upload one to somewhere like "dropbox" and send me a link, I could see what they do on my Xubuntu 16.04 machine. There is a chance of me getting the Win 7 one out to the church and ...

Re: need speed

I see that my attempt to quote worked really well. Sigh. :D Oh well, never mind. If you want to go back into the post and try to correct it, there should be an "Edit" button near the top right corner of the post. When the post is open for editing, select the text that you want quoted, the...

Re: Problem opening Audacity project file

Sorry to say, it's much like the one in the other post, it's just full of "NULL" bytes and so is not recoverable. I'm not sure why this happens, though I've seen it a few times. My suspicion is that Windows, or a security product running on Windows, may be clearing "unused" data ...

Re: Adding randomized silence (Windows 10, Audacity 2.1.3)

P.S. Out of pure curiosity : Is it possible to change (mult (osc (hz-to-step 1000) 0.25) (pwlv 0 0.01 0.8 0.24 0.8 0.25 0))) to this function (osc-note pitch [duration env loud table]). I think the second function does exactly the same, but I can be wrong. Yes you could, but you would still need to...

Re: Problem opening Audacity project file

My hard disk has multiple partitions, and I've installed audacity and saved the project files to the D: drive. If that is an internal hard drive, then that's unlikely to be the problem. The issue sounds much like this problem: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=329630#p329630 If you cou...

Re: need speed

It worked until I deleted it a month ago Was that also the time when you tried using Xubuntu 16.04 64 bit? when trying to play an area, the cursor would skip about 30 seconds forward and then start playing Probably irrelevant now that you no-longer have the 14.04 machine, but I can't think of any r...
