Re: Silent Subliminals [solved?]

Set CarrierFreq to 17500 A. High-pass (AUDIO INPUT) at 300Hz B. Low-pass (A) at 3000Hz C. Multiply (B) * 2 * CarrierFreq D. Low-pass (C) at CarrierFreq E. High-pass (D) at CarrierFreq That's more or less correct, but note that in step C we are not multiplying by "CarrierFreq" but rather b...

Re: +6dB gain in Audio Units

It seems that AURoundTripAAC is confused if Audacity's sample rate (the "Project Rate" shown in the lower left corner of the main Audacity window) does not match the sample rate that it expects for the playback device. On my Mac Mini, AURoundTripAAC shows the correct level when using the B...

Re: unable to record from keyboard

Does the keyboard have a socket for that?

Probably the easiest way to record that keyboard is with a microphone about 4 cm above and pointing at one of the speakers (or better - a pair of microphones, one above each speaker).

Re: Inserting silence at the end of a .wav file

If you intend to put them on a CD, most CD burning applications automatically insert 2 seconds silence between tracks by default.

Re: CMake

Audacity uses libsoxr for resampling. For example, if you import a file that has a sample rate of 48000 Hz and you export it with a sample rate of 44100 Hz, then it is libsoxr that handles changing the sample rate. It is also used to allow tracks that have different sample rates to be played at the ...

Re: Compressor is making levels crazy high

Try this:

1) Amplify to 0 dB (default settings)
2) Apply Compressor effect with settings shown below. (peak level will remain at 0 dB)
3) Normalize to whatever peak level you want (currently your peak level is around -6 dB).

Re: Compressor is making levels crazy high

For some reason when I try to apply Compressor, the levels hit the roof in the higher peaks. You mean with Audacity's compressor? http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/compressor.html What settings are you using? Leveler? Don't use the Leveler effect unless you want to add a distortion effect. It's ge...

Re: Where to download the subliminal.ny plugin?

I found this software and was wondering what you guys think? They have been saying "HURRY THIS OFFER WILL NOT LAST LONG!!!" since 2013. $99.99 seems expensive for what it is. The instructions say to use "Stereo Mix", but Stereo Mix is not usually available on modern computers. T...

Not with Audacity.
Audacity does not apply effects while recording. Audacity is a tool for editing and processing "off line".
