Re: Saving to wav - ulaw

It's a minor bug. I say "minor" because the actual format is OK, it's just that the file name incorrectly has ".aiff" added. I'm not on Windows, but I think you can get round the problem by entering the file name with ".wav" at the end when you export. Hopefully this wi...

If I recall correctly, in Audacity 2.1.0 you need to restart Audacity before the new plug-in shows up.

Re: ACX-Check Plugin

Nyquist plug-ins are just plain text files, but rather than the usual ".txt" file nane extension they have ".ny" When you download the plug-in does it go into your "downloads" folder? If it does, you should be able to just drag it across into the plug-ins folder (open a...

Re: Lame settings [SOLVED]

Does that really infer that the "recommendation" is for VBR 50 % quality, rather than just being an interface suggestion? I guess they 'could' have decided to show the GUI recommendation with non-default settings (though I can't think why they would do that), but the text / links on that ...

Re: Spectral selection labels

It's only pass filtering as far as I know Yes it's "only" a band pass filter, with well over 100 dB/octave attenuation in the stop band and a transition bandwidth of about 1/3rd octave, which is impressive for a simple IIR filter. To give credit where it's due, the technique for producing...

Re: Add silence from length

There is a way (in 2.1.2) to not write metadata, which is to press "Clear" in Metadata Editor when it pops up at export. Or if you have hidden Metadata Editor for the export step in Import/Export Preferences, then File > Edit Metadata and press "Clear" before you export. I don't...

Re: Add silence from length

I'm having trouble with metadata automatically being added, the weird thing is it's all the same metadata from one track, unlike how it usually adds metadata by the original track name. The original files contain no metadata either so this shouldn't be happening. This "feature" has bugged...

Re: colouring sound files

No, that's never been a feature in Audacity, though you can "label" parts of the waveform. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/label_tracks.html

Re: Spectral selection labels

Of course if the audio is white noise there is still some visible spectrum remaining outside the spectral selection. :) I can't imagine what you were expecting, but it looks pretty impressive to me, and in just 6 lines of code. Here it is in comparison with the shipped "Spectral Edit Shelves&q...
