Re: HELP PLEASE WAY TO FIND OUT IF CALL IS EDITED

Re: Audacity 2.1.2 Alpha - Window size not remembered

On Linux, the problem appears to be fixed by removing (from Project.cpp):

Code: Select all

   if (width < defRect->width)
   {
      defRect->width = width;
   }

   if (height < defRect->height)
   {
      defRect->height = height;
   }
but perhaps that is required on other platforms.

Re: HELP PLEASE WAY TO FIND OUT IF CALL IS EDITED

Sorry Rocks, I'm happy to help you to use Audacity, but I'm really not into this cloak and dagger stuff. If this is a professional matter, you need to get help from a suitably qualified professional. If it's more of a personal matter, then you might be better just to ask the person in question.

Re: typical -db setting for normalize ?

If you have only one track in the project, normalizing to -1 (minus 1) dB will not allow clipping. The "orange zone" in the meter is the recommended level for recording (so as to allow a little headroom). After Normalizing it is absolutely OK for the level to go into the "red zone&quo...

Re: HELP PLEASE WAY TO FIND OUT IF CALL IS EDITED

Badly edited audio will often show discontinuities in the waveform, and/or in the spectrogram (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audio_track_dropdown_menu.html) Abrupt changes in background noise may be visible in the spectrogram view which 'may' indicate an edit point. Bad edits can often b...
