Re: returning SOUND to outer DOLIST loop?

Example 1 (setf mylist (list 'a 'b 'c 'd)) (setf num 4) (print (dolist (x mylist) (print x) (dotimes (i num) (setf i (1+ i))))) prints: A B C D NIL Note that "NIL" is the return value of the 'dolist' ------------------------------------ Example 2 (setf mylist (list 'a 'b 'c 'd)) (setf num...

Re: Questions about Truncating Silence

The Limiter is a "Nyquist" effect. One of the limitations of Nyquist effects is that they treat "empty space" as "silence". In your picture you have selected a long region of "empty space" beyond the end of the tracks. Nyquist effects see this empty space as &...

Re: 6th channel gets corrupted in .ogg files

OK, here's a workaround. I've only tested this on Linux, but I think it should also work on Windows. 1) You need to install the command-line Ogg encoder (oggenc). It's available here: http://www.rarewares.org/ogg-oggenc.php (I know that the web address looks dodgy, but it's a well known site for aud...

Re: 6th channel gets corrupted in .ogg files

My issue is that after saving the new .ogg file with 6 channels and opening it again with audacity I find out that the last channel is corrupted and sounds all bad: This appears to be a "feature" of the Ogg encoder. If you look at the spectrum of the 6th track you will notice that the fre...

Re: Windows 10

Are you able to send me the links for those drives? Device " drivers " (not "drives") are programs that provide an interface between the hardware (in this case, the sound card) and applications (in this case audio programs). Device drivers are specific to both the hardware and t...

Re: Windows 10

Audacity 2.1.2 works fine on Windows 10. Just make sure that you have the correct Windows 10 sound card drivers installed.

Re: Noise reduction - Problem with microphone?

The first slider control in Noise Reduction sets the amount of reduction. Increase this setting (slider to the right) for more noise reduction. Note that noise reduction effects are always imperfect, and you need to strike a balance between the amount of noise remove (more is better) and the amount ...

Re: Audacity complains about jackd and not starting

OK, it looks like Betsy is using Audacity 2.0.6 from Debian Jessie, which is built against wxGtk 3.0. That's the wrong version of wx, (it should be wxGtk 2.8, but that's not available in Jessie), so some problems are to be expected. This will be resolved when Mint Debian updates to Audacity 2.1.2 (w...
