Audacity Forum

Information could be there and I just plain miss it We're aware that is a problem. Unfortunately when we freeze the manual for release, we cannot keep the Search function (because it uses server-side scripting). However, there are a couple of useful search tips. One is to search Google with the que...

Shouldn't this be there too? :D I think this is one of the 1/10 questions that isn't in the FAQ. "Most" (9/10) questions that people ask about Audacity are the same questions - these are the ones that we aim for in the FAQ (because they are frequently asked questions). There are thousands...

I see there is a limitation or bug that the added shortcut is not shown in the dropdown menu as one would expect. Is that known about? David probably didn't 'forget'. The dropdown menu is constructed differently from the main menu. The main menu uses "AddItem" which supports accelerators ...

Select "other uncompressed files", then in the options, set the header to "RAW (headerless)" and the encoding to "VOX ADPCM". Before you export, ensure that the project is all mono, and the "project rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacity window) is &quo...

I am an old-timer, and can remember the day when you could load a file, edit it, and save the changes back to the file you were editing. Old enough remember bouncing tracks from one tape machine to another? Yes there is a "danger" of permanently overwriting an important file, but more imp...

Just for interest, this code uses the same detection method as the previous example, but rather than printing the output to the Debug window, it creates labels at each zero crossing point. The labels are held in the variable "output" in the form of a "list" of labels, where each ...

If the input to my voltage to frequency causes its output to be 1 KHz for 10 mS, I'd like the output to be 20 lines, each line being .5 milliseconds more than the line before it. So you want positive going zero crossings AND negative going zero crossings? In that case, try this version. I've added ...

Here is another solution. The code here is much harder to follow, but is much faster than the previous examples. This code is derived from a code snippet that Robert J H posted to the forum some time ago. In this version, the output is as comma separated values (CSV). (setf *float-format* "%.3f...

That is a design limitation if even user presets don't save the duration, yes. Generator "Presets" do not store the duration setting. This is an example of how the settings are stored for the "Tone" generator: Parameters=Amplitude="0.800000000000" Frequency="440.0...

This gives a list of intervals between successive positive going zero crossing points: (do ((i 0 (1+ i)) (output "") previous ; previous zero crossing time (default nil) period ; duration between successive zero crossings (flag (> (snd-fetch (snd-copy *track*)) 0)) (val (snd-fetch *track*)...
