Re: Schmitt trigger... Possible?

As flynwill wrote, that appears to be FSK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-shift_keying) so turning those waveforms into square waves is the wrong approach. The two digital (binary) states (on/off or 1/0) are not represented by amplitude but by frequency. To "convert to digital" yo...

Re: Removing the louder of two voices

Unless there is 'separation' between the voices, for example: * one voice is on the left of a stereo recording and the other voice is on the right, * one person speaks, then the other, with no overlap, then it will not be possible to remove or reduce the louder voice without also removing the other ...

Re: Schmitt trigger... Possible?

If you could post a short sample of the type of audio that you want to convert, then that will give me a better idea for an appropriate solution.
Please post 5 or 6 seconds in WAV format. (see here for how to post an audio sample: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=72887)

Re: Problem w/ Skips in Recorded Tracks

there are multiple places where tracks skip around or cut off before the end. It may be due to the "buffer" settings. The default "Audio to buffer" setting is 100 ms. Try setting it to a slightly smaller number. You may need to try several values to find what works best. Try red...

Re: Invert delay

No problem Michael.
Rather than delete this topic, I'll move it to the Nyquist board. There may be stuff in here that is interest to other users.

Re: Selection starting point jumps when dragging to select

Does it jump while you are dragging? That is, does it start making the selection correctly and then suddenly the start of the selection jumps toward the mouse pointer? If so, then it's probably your mouse. This happened to me recently - and it was because the mouse button switch was starting to wear...

Re: Invert delay

Just to add: The code snippets that I posted in my first reply could easily be converted into a plug-in. All you would need to do is to add the appropriate "headers", then install it like any other Nyquist plug-in. Installation instructions: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyqui...

Re: Invert delay

(probably not very useful for most users - more about this later) The main use of the Delay effect is to produce a kind of repeated echo, so typically the delay length is between about 50 to 1000 ms. With such 'long' delays, the phase is not really important because we are normally using the effect...

Re: Invert delay

The operation you describe seems rather specific (probably not very useful for most users - more about this later), so I'm not inclined to add it to the Delay effect that we ship with Audacity. However, it is quite simple to achieve the effect that you want with a short Nyquist script. Here's the co...

Re: Schmitt trigger... Possible?

Just one thing: it seems to produce a trail... that i don't want... Is my mistake? Ensure that you select only the audio that you wish to process. If the selection extends into "white space" beyond the end of the audio, then Nyquist will attempt to process that selected white space as if ...
