Re: Cannot play very short sound clip

It's almost certainly due to buffering by the sound system. It is likely to be most noticeable when using the default playback (Pulse). If you select the "hw" playback option in the device toolbar , then Audacity will bypass Pulse and use ALSA directly. That should improve things, but it w...

Re: ALAC info missing / confusing!

Audacity pre-dates GPL v3, so for early versions v3 was not an option. There has been discussion in the past about changing to GPL v3, but we would need to ensure that the license terms for all libraries used by Audacity uses are compatible with v3. If any are incompatible, then alternatives would n...

Re: Click removal removes about 5 seconds of tracks [SOLVED]

That explains it. The "Program Files(x86)" folder should only be used for installing programs, not for saving "user data". A normal user account does not have full read/write permissions except in their "user space", so Audacity would not be able to write the audio data...

Re: Analyze - Manage scans every DLL on PC

Path=\\Windows\\assembly\\... I think that gives a clue to the problem. That is not in the standard list of locations that Audacity looks for plug-ins. (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/effect_menu.html) I suspect that the problem may be that the "Paths" set in the Windows Registry ma...

Re: How can I repair corrupted 3GP audio files?

One last shot - it "may" be possible to persuade "EaseUS data recovery" to recover some of the AMR data. Definitely no guaranteed of success, but perhaps worth a shot. This is their web address: http://www.easeus.com/storage-media-recovery/recover-amr-files-from-memory-card.html ...

Re: Waveform explained? (problem recording)

By the way, I checked the H1, there is no microphone sensitivity control, sadly. There are a bunch of controls at the back, but nothing that relates to sensitivity. I've just looked at the user guide - it looks like you're right. If you intend to use an external dynamic mic and you are able to sold...

Re: Math operations in Audacity

If you understand the math operations that you want to perform, then we can probably help you with the Nyquist language. There is a forum board specifically for questions / discussion about Nyquist: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=39
