Re: Custom Amplify-2-db plug-in

Ooh, that "kind soul" appears to have been me ;) Let's see now. Open the file in a plain text editor (such as NotePad) and it looks like this: ;nyquist plug-in ;version 3 ;type process ;name "Cut 10 dB" ;action "Amplifying -10 dB..." ;author "Steve Daulton" ;c...

Re: Something else that confounds me ...

What's your operating system? Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity") I'm guessing that you are on Windows and Windows Sound Enhancements are messing up your recording. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements For future...

Re: Workflow on mixing tracks

Otherwise, please do not use the same term in different places for different things. ;) That is exactly what I want to resolve. "Edit > Preferences > Warnings: Mixing down...." Here we use the word "Mixing" to mean "mix selected tracks that are not muted, "Edit > Prefe...

Re: Adding Cover Art & Meeting I-85 Compliant Needs

OK, so I can see that several podcasting sites recommend a level of -16 LUFS. I also note that "PUBLIC LAW 111–311—DEC 15, 2010" which you cite, does not specify a level in LUFS. I also note that EBU R-128 recommends: h) that the Programme Loudness Level shall be normalised to a Target Lev...

Re: Tracks>dropdown menu split

We don't have the resources to provide email support, and it is a bad idea to post your email address on a public forum (especially one that gets as much traffic as this one) as the address is likely to be harvested by a spambot. The current version of Audacity is 2.1.2 and is available here: http:/...

Re: Adding Cover Art & Meeting I-85 Compliant Needs

I will do a test run on the plug-in you mentioned and compare it to Audaphonic, Reaper and a new meter I just downloaded this morning. It is from klangfreund. I'll be interested to see your results. A couple of things to bear in mind: 1) Loudness algorithms are tested and calibrated on statistical ...
