Re: Skip silence during playback

There's not much point creating an "Adding Features to Audacity" forum for a freeware if it's going into this direction. Your suggestion will be logged, but new features should be discussed. If there's a strong argument for why Audacity should have a feature, and if a lot of users request...

Re: Plot spectrum for noobs

So hypothetically if I could paste the text into a csv file, it ought to render 256 rows? Not that I need to do that, since there's already a graph right there, duh. I just wanted to know if I was understanding you. Use the "Export" feature and open the exported file in a text editor. You...

1. Remember window size across sessions
Doesn't Plot Spectrum already remember it's settings until you change them?

3. Offer screen shot for Spectrum-Plot
This will be available in Audacity 3.0.0 using "Tools menu > Screenshot".

Re: Plot spectrum for noobs

Plot Spectrum uses a mathematical algorithm called "Fast Fourier Transformation" ("FFT"). In simple terms, FFT splits the signal into multiple frequency bins. It then measures the amount of sound that lands in each bin. The "Size" parameter determines the length of audi...

Re: Enhancement for Macros

So are you planning to get this included in Audacity's shipped tools (or will it remain an under-the-counter item for the cognoscenti) ? I think it'll remain under the counter due to the awkwardness of not being able to repeat the last "Tool" effect. (It has to be a "Tool" type ...

Re: Skip silence during playback

Truncate Silence, while good for final playback, removes the concept of time thereby making it difficult to find a corresponding portion in another track. By default, ("Truncate tracks independently" NOT selected), if you apply Truncate Silence to multiple tracks at the same time, it will...

Is this really the way to vote?
Yes, and I've logged your vote.

I just want to vote for the "per-channel recording metering" feature
Perhaps you would like to say why you want that feature - it may encourage others to vote for it. (I've already voted for it).

Suggestion: would be nice if there was a easy way to identify broken tracks.
Do you still have the broken project?
If you do, try selecting one track at a time and apply "Mix and Render" (one track at a time). I would expect the "bad" tracks to fail. Is that what happens?

Re: Cannot export one project or its tracks

Try doing this:
  1. "Ctrl + A" (Select All)
  2. "Tracks menu > Mix > Mix and Render"
  3. Export
  4. "Ctrl + Z" (Undo, to get your multi-track project back)
Does the export work?
