Re: Local volume adjustment

I'm trying to understand how this proposal would work, and I have a question.
If the proposal was implemented and you try playing something in Audacity and the playback level is too quiet, and the level is turned up full in Audacity, how would you make it louder?

Re: Mark Silence effect as C++ code

I'm going somewhat off-topic here, but just as a point of interest, one of the things going for Nyquist is that, despite being an interpreted language, it has many built-in "primitives" written specifically for audio processing, that are written in compiled C. Where looping through samples...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but on what do you base that assumption?

Re: Mix & render doesn't account for 'mute'

If not what's the rationale behind it? You have two choices and it is arguable either way. If you don't want to include a track in Mix and Render, why would you select it? For example, if I want to mix tracks 4, 5 and 7 of a 20 track project, why would I select the other tracks? In this case, I wou...

Re: How to open a file without it clipping already

Note that if you have "View > Show Clipping" enabled, the red vertical lines are "warnings" to indicate that audio "may" be clipped. The red lines appear where the amplitude is 0 dB or greater. It is possible to have a perfect unclipped waveform, but if the highest peak...
