When you record, say 30 seconds, do you see a 30 second long track recorded in Audacity?

There are several ways that the strong / weak beats could be defined. What I want to avoid is requiring two controls to do it. What I had in mind was to have a nominal amplitude (perhaps about -4 dB, but the actual figure is yet to be determined). When the "accent" control is set to 0 %, t...

Just read this: ----New method sensitivity This control determines (does not equal) the multiple of the mean power of each frequency band of the noise profile that is used as a threshold in discrimination. The default value is 6 when advanced controls are hidden. The intention is that the setting a...

m4a is a container format (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14). You need to know what encoding is being used. "MediaInfo" should be able to give you that information - if you don't have it already I would advise that you get the ZIP version of MediaInfo rather than the insta...

Don't use MP3 format. See: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 46&t=87734

The problem with missing out the word "default" is that when tuned up or down by a semitone or more, then the pitch is no longer what it says. How about for the click sound section we have these controls: Accent strong beat (0 - 100): Click type (default pitch "A"): Strong beat t...

for example singing karaoke over a backing track, without any tuned instrument to hand. Even if we show the note name, how would they know what note name to select if they don't have an instrument to hand and don't have "perfect pitch"? Do you think it would be adequate if we had names fo...

I was not going for a realistic sound. On the contrary, unrealistic would be great. This is for a scene in which metaphysical things are happening that can not be represented by the actors onstage. I must suggest these fantastical happenings with otherworldly sound effects. And for narrative reason...
