I doubt that this will sound like you expect, but here's the code: (setf points (list -1 0.5 -1 1.086 0.414 2.5 1 3.914 0.414 4.5 -1 5 -1)) (setf lookuptable (maketable (abs-env (pwlv-list points)))) (let* ((step (truncate (/ *sound-srate* 100))) (env (snd-avg *track* step step op-peak))) (mult env ...

Audacity has several effects for changing the speed of the audio (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/index_of_effects_generators_and_analyzers.html#Make_the_sound_faster.2C_slower.2C_lower_pitched_or_higher_pitched) However, I doubt that any of these effects will help to improve the accuracy of...

I don't know to decide whether to use, for instance, the Leveler, or Limiter, or Amplifier, or Compressor, or Normalizer; or in what combination or order. The "Leveler" effect should generally be avoided unless you want to add distortion to the audio. Chris's Dynamic compressor is likely ...

"Amplify" is limited to +/- 50 dB. For more than that you have to apply the effect multiple times. Normalize does not have that limitation. The easiest workaround for this limitation (in Chris' Compressor) is to avoid including absolute silence (or "white space") at the start of ...

Is there a way to change a camel into a cow?

How about using Ogg Vorbis? http://www.vorbis.com/
File size is similar to MP3. Sound quality is similar (better at high bit-rates). Possible patent issues of MP3 are avoided, and Ogg does not have the problem of padding at the start of the file.

The current version is 2.1.2 and is available here: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ That's the official Audacity site and the current version is always available via the official website. Other sites may have old or modified 2.x versions that are not supported (and we can't guarantee t...

Out of interest, what are these 2 second files for? Is there a reason why they need to be MP3 format?

MP3 files always have a bit of padding at the start. It's a limitation of the MP3 format. The only solution is to use a different format (such as WAV)

One interesting point to note is that with Audacity, the volume control to the direct left of the finished recording screen display provides "just" as much volume level to the finished recording as does the use of Audacity amplify and compression etc. In other words, even if I "don't...
