Re: Software Requirements Document

Sounds interesting. I will certainly be keen to read the English translation when it is available. It will be interesting to see how your view of the software requirements specification compares with the Audacity Team view. I'm sure there will be many points for constructive discussion.

Wow, that is quite old now, but I like how it turned out. I've got too much other stuff at the moment, but I think I could probably tackle that when I have time.

Re: Recent file Menu enhancement

An alternative long term approach could be to adopt a feature that is commonly found in grown up DAW applications, which is to have a "media manager". This would be a separate window, probably with tabs. that can display media according to various criteria. For example, you could list rece...

Re: Anomalies in 2.1.2 ---

As Gale wrote, the changed behaviour is almost certainly due to the updated version of WxWidgets. Regarding the text in the Nyquist message box, automatic text wrap is handled by WxWidgets trying to emulate standard behaviour for the platform that it is running on. Assuming that you have been using ...

Re: Mixing 4 channels to 2

It depends what the recording is. If it's speech with background music then simply discarding the rear channels will probably give the best results. If it's a film soundtrack (or similar) with important elements of the sound in the rear channels (such as a sound approaching from behind) then you wil...

Re: audacity 2.1.2 fails to compile on open suse 13.2

Nothing wrong there. I'm not sure that I will be able to help as I don't have Suse, but if you try these steps, I'll have a look to see if I can spot anything. First, clean the build:: make distclean then, if you've not already done so, create a build directory within the source tree, for example, i...

Re: Anomalies in 2.1.2 ---

Steve would know better than I if we can control the width of these Nyquist dialogues. As far as I'm aware, the size of the Nyquist dialogs is controlled by WxWidgets, which attempts to emulate "standard" behaviour for the operating system it is running on. This is the same problem that w...

Re: How to connect usb turntable output to PC router

If the turntable has analog out, the simplest solution would be to connect the turntable to an analog phono pre-amp (some turntables have a phono pre-amp plugged in), then use high quality shielded audio cable through to where the computer is, and use a USB sound card (such as a Behringer UCA-202) t...

Re: How to connect usb turntable output to PC router

There are "USB wireless hubs" available (example: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=833332&Q=&is=REG&A=details) but they have three main limitations. (1) They are slow, (2) They require special software on the computer which may not be available for Lin...

Re: Workflow on mixing tracks

I still prefer the tracks mix behaviour to be controllable from the Tracks menu. I presume that you would want the setting to be retained from one session to the next? If so, then it needs to be handled as a "preference". Nothing to say that we could not make the preference accessible thr...
