Unless you're an expert building C++ in MVSC on Windows, I'd highly recommend that you follow the instructions in /win/compile.txt and use Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 C++. A few people have succeeded in building Audacity with MSVC 2015, but it's not yet officially supported and I've no idea how muc...

I could also copy and paste some code via the DTMF.ny file that I also downloaded, (which I should have a long time ago), I've uploaded a new version of dtmf.ny on the Audacity wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Generate_Plug-ins#DTMF_Tones It is functionally identical to the original,...

I thought it was moonphase but I have just now discovered the trick. To drag-seek then stop on relea...
