Re: Question about repeated dithering

But going back to dithering, it's generally recommended only to use it once during a workflow, when doing a final export, right? As a general rule, yes (but continue reading...) I imported into Audacity and made some edits (duplicated a section, fade in/out, envelope tweaks). I then exported it to ...

Re: Subliminal Function

been reading a lot of "really old" posts that refer to creating subliminals using (1) either the "Nyquist Prompt" capability or (2) the "Subliminal" plug-in. The "Nyquist Prompt" is a general effect that allows you to run "Nyquist" commands. "N...

On the other hand, adding multi-processor support could give big performance gains (Audacity currentl...
