Re: Help for us broadcast editors that have to hit a show cl

Assuming that you are working with a single audio track (you did not say otherwise), try running this code in the Nyquist Prompt effect: (setf mins 60) (setf seconds 30.0) (let* ((start (get '*track* 'start-time)) (end (get '*track* 'end-time)) (target (+ (* 60.0 mins) seconds))) (setf dif (- end st...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

You have admitted a blind user entering a frequency selection in Spectral Selection Toolbar then being told to change track view and turn on Spectral Selection is not user-friendly, so I am seeing if we can improve that. How about, if the user types into the spectral selection toolbar, a message bo...

Re: How to split into several parts a long mp3 audio file

Do you know a software or a plugin or other things you can do this automatically or almost automatically? No, but it's fairly quick to do manually with Audacity. 1) Import the long recording. 2) With the entire track selected, apply "Analyze > Regular Interval Labels" with these settings:...

If you're familiar with programming in C (I'm not) then you may be better to program in C.

Re: I keep having to reset toolbars on 2-1-2 :¬(

1) Open an Audacity window and size it fairly small. 2) Maximize the window using the "maximize window" button. 3) Generate a waveform. 4) Drag down the bottom of the track to near the bottom of the track window. 5) Un-maximize the Audacity window by clicking the "maximize / restore&q...

Re: How to split into several parts a long mp3 audio file

It is probably helpful if you tell us what the aim is. Why do you want the sections to fade? Do you only want the ends of the sections to fade, or do you want the start of the sections to also fade? Is this for music or speech recording? Do the files have to be in MP3 format? How important is sound ...

Re: Does Audacity have automation?

Assuming that you mean "track effect automation", as found in most real-time DAW programs, the general answer is; no, Audacity does not have effect automation. However, you said the magic words " adjusting the volume", so you've hit the jackpot. Yes, Audacity does have effect aut...

Re: I keep having to reset toolbars on 2-1-2 :¬(

On second thoughts the scroll bar behaviour may be a feature rather than a bug. There is a repeatable bug (tested on Linux). Correct behaviour: 1) Open an Audacity window and scale it to almost the size of the monitor display, but not "maximized". 2) Generate a waveform. 3) Drag down the ...
