Re: Trim Silence

I'm also thinking that 30 seconds might be big enough as a maximum. This will allow the time to be selected via the cursor keys or mouse wheel with a resolution of 0.1 seconds, rather than the current 1 second resolution, and provides 2 decimal places by default rather than the current 1 decimal pla...

Re: "Mix+Render To New Track" Lossy?

(Assuming that you have the current version of Audacity) If your "Quality" preferences are at their default settings (32-bit float), and the project rate is at least 441000 Hz, then Mix and Render is not lossy. If you have changed the Quality settings to 16-bit, then Mix and Render is very...

Re: Looping Specific Part of Track

If you want that as a part of the recording, use the "Repeat" effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/repeat.html If you want to loop it just so that you can hear it (but not part of the project), then use "Loop Quick Play" in the Timeline: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/m...

Re: Trim Silence

I made a cool modification, check it out. I added "Leave at start (s)" and "Leave at end (s)" to the gui. Sorry about the late reply, I must have missed seeing your post. I like the idea, and yes I think it's cool 8-) My only real criticism is that I think that allowing negative...

Re: Plug In Question

Audacity does not support VST instruments ("VSTi"). It is possible to record a stand-alone drum machine but, depending on the drum machine, that may not be necessary. Many of the better software drum machines allow you to save (or "export") the drum pattern as a WAV file. The WAV...

Re: Podcast recording

There is a popular Skype recording program called Pamela. Another good way to use Skype in Podcasts is for each party to record their side of the conversation direct from a microphone. The "interviewee" then sends their recording to the "producer" as a high quality WAV or FLAC f...

Re: Rendering Takes Long Time

I just downloaded the 2.0.1 That's an old version. Get the current 2.1.1 version from here: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/windows I'd also suggest that as you probably didn't get the 2.0.1 version from us, that you uninstall the 2.0.1 version first and run an in-depth virus and malware check...
