Re: Noise reduction, static and repeated

It looks like a lost cause. you may find slightly better noise reduction in other applications (such as Adobe Audition or iZotope RX), but with a high level of noise like that there will always be the problem that reducing the noise damages the sound that you want to keep.

Re: How to remove 50% length of tracks ?

I presume that the files are different lengths? What format are the files and what format do the trimmed files need to be? Audacity has a simple batch processing mechanism called "Chains". It has some strict requirements / limitations (such as, all the files must be in the same folder). Ha...

Re: Left and Right Audio Balancing

when I use the L/R slider You mean the track "Pan slider"? (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audio_tracks.html#pan) If that is set all the way to the left, then only the left channel plays. If you still hear it from both speakers / both sides of your headphones, then it's not Audacity d...

Re: I want to use English. Audicity insusts on using Danish

By default Audacity uses the system language of the operating system. To override the default, change the language in "Edit menu > Preferences > Interface".

Re: Exporting combined audio tracks messes with lengths

wanted to check if there is an issue with the timestamps on audacity. No, but there are issues in Windows Media Player. When playing a "variable bit rate" (VBR) MP3, Windows Media Player frequently displays the time incorrectly. As far as I'm aware it is only a display problem - that is, ...

Re: Difficulty with "Building on Mac" setup. CMake/config

Re: Record high pitched sound (long post, but please help)

In the "Take 1, Wasapi.wav" sample, there is clearly a tone at about 14 kHz in the right channel: firsttrack000.png This code in the Nyquist Prompt will notch out that tone very precisely in the right channel only: (vector (aref *track* 0) (notch2 (aref *track* 1) 14275 20)) If you have a ...

Re: Record high pitched sound (long post, but please help)

From Wikipedia: "Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz[6] and as high as 28 kHz". Wikipedia can be misleading, and in this case I think it is misleading. Response to frequencies well above 20 kHz has been recorded when transmitted through bone conduction...

Re: How to open a complete audio project

I have tried to open a previously recorded project in audacity but its opening the individual files separately. There are two parts to an Audacity project. There is an "AUP" file (the "Audacity Project file") and there is folder that contains the audio data. For example, if you ...
