Re: Numeric text input widget for Nyquist plug-ins

Hi DominicJosephRico, I partly agree with you, but part of the problem here is that the current method of input validation is "new", whereas many of the plug-ins to which it applies are much older. This has led to the unfortunate situation where the plug-in author was expecting that values...

Re: Mic volume slider not working

Do you know which distros may let Audacity work normally? It depends what you mean by "normally" :P Audacity will work on nearly all Linux distributions, but the issue of selecting and controlling the recording level is complex. For Linux there are basically 3 different sound systems avai...

Re: Mic volume slider not working

Is the mic slider greyed out? That is not unusual on Linux - The mic slider in Audacity will only work if the sound system makes the control available, which usually it doesn't. The usual way to control the recording input on Linux systems that use PulseAudio, is to use "PulseAudio Volume Contr...

Re: Can't fix white noise!

Firstly, it is essential that when you make the "Noise Profile", ONLY background noise is selected (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/no ... ction.html)

Once you have a good "noise profile", for gentle noise reduction, try settings of 6, 6, 3.

Re: Zoom Normal (Cmd+2) cursor position

Returning to the original topic. do we agree that the "Zoom Normal" command should zoom to the default "zoom level" not scroll back to the start.
If so, should this be logged as an enhancement on bugzilla?

Re: Limitations via effects

and then I could abuse tremolo AND A.M. and Ring-mod to my hearts content You can abuse them to your hearts content in Audacity 2.1.1 :P One really nice thing about Nyquist plug-ins is that they can be modified very easily using no more than a plain text editor (NotePad++ is recommended, but plain ...

Re: Output levels distorted after restarting audacity

So you're running some version of Linux on a Chromebook with XFCE desktop? Could you enter this command into a terminal window, and tell us what the output is: lsb_release -a and then pulseaudio --version then open Audacity and look in "Help > About Audacity" for the full version number of...

Re: Tone Generators: Siren

Yes, that's the one. Note the three numbers at the end of the line: 4.7, 0.1, and 10 As described in the link that I posted (http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference#Slider_Widget), those numbers are the initial-value minimum maximum. "Initial-state value" is the defaul...

Re: Tone Generators: Siren

Can you find the line in your code that creates the slider control ("slider widget") for the cycle length?
Find that line and copy it into your reply, then I can show you how you need to modify it.
