Re: Echo

NOTE: this echo effect occurs as soon as I click on "Click to start Monitoring" even when I'm not trying to record...no input device of any kind. I just open up Audacity, Click to start Monitoring and the sensitivity starts showing up in that box with the slightest sound. Sound from where...

Re: Sample Data Export

MATLAB is also a lot more complicated to use than Nyquist.

Re: Sample Data Export

Our thought was to use "Sample Data Export", but that doesn't seem to be giving us what we'd like. How does "Sample Data Export" differ from "what you'd like"? Is there any way to use "Sample Data Export" to see both time and amplitude? That's what "Samp...

Re: How do I know how much volume is right?

What is the Effect > Amplify amplification based on? I thought that it will increase the peaks of the volume until one peak reaches max volume You thought right. The default amplification amount brings the highest (or most 'negative') peak to "0 dB" (the top, or bottom of the track). Some...

Re: Shock mount for use in a restaurant

The wood and felt looks like the best option. I've got a solid wooden chopping board that I could use. Would thast work, or is it better to use ply, perhaps because of the grain crossing in the layers? I'll try to find some thick felt to go underneath. In Koz's "towel and book" example, t...

Re: Paste Replace instead of Paste Insert.

Thanks for the tip pperrin. That's similar to the way I do it. My steps (in this case, copying one part of a track into another place): Select the part to be copied Ctrl+D (duplicate the selected audio to a new track) Enter (de-select the original selection) F5 (Time Shift tool) Drag the duplicate c...

Re: Filtered sound/event activated recording

maybe add option to measure volume similar to https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/re ... !PDF-E.pdf That would not help with the use case that you described in your first post because the specification does not discriminate against very low (or very high) frequencies. A better solution for your us...
