Audacity Forum

Audacity has an extremely powerful scripting language built in. It is called "Nyquist". Short commands may be run in the "Nyquist Prompt" effect (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/nyquist_prompt.html), or you can even create full-blown plug-ins (http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wi...

;control newlength "New length in samples" int-text "" 44100 1 nil This line creates a control. For it to work in the Nyquist Prompt requires Audacity 2.1.1 or later. The syntax is described here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference#Nyquist_Plug-in_Widge...

More information please.

That is 'usually' the case (virtually "always" for consumer level sound cards), though some high level sound cards are able to handle multiple streams without help from Pulse.

Very happy to see this feature but bit disappointed because it doesn't seem to work properly. Unfortunately it's a bug that crept in when effects were updated in Audacity 2.1.1. It works correctly in Audacity 2.1.0. Also, I'd not noticed the problem until too late in the 2.1.2 release cycle, so it ...

like the last mortal moment of a dying crow. :lol: Not quite right then. I've just been reading that PulseAudio has started playing up again on some Ubuntu 15.10 systems, so it could be to do with that. Do you have just one sound card installed on the machine? If so, you should see an option in bot...

What we really need is a short recording that has not been processed at all - just the raw original recording.
