Re: problem with plugin Manager

I downloaded this plug-in on the official site (Forum Nyquist) . I did not modify it. Open the file in a plain text editor such as NotePad. Add a space at the end of the line: ;control file "Input file" string "" "" then save the file. Ensure that the file name still h...

Re: orphan files

An "orphan block file" is a data fragment that has been found in either Audacity's temp folder or the project _data folder that Audacity does not recognise as part of the project. The Audacity warning message about orphan block files occurs when orphan block files are found in the project ...

Re: Shaded waveform view (when zoomed out)

Although I can sense lighter and darker shades in the waveform, I have no frequency reference against which to compare those different shades - if indeed the shades do always mean frequency differences between different parts of the waveform. I understand they may not mean that. If I understand the...

Re: Compile error

If libsoxr is not present on the system, it has to be built from the source code (included in the Audacity source code). Building libsoxr requires cmake.

Re: Difficult voice effect, need some help please! :D

The main effects are pitch shift and reverberation (reverb). The effect probably involves mixing multiple tracks with different amounts of pitch shift, delay and reverb. For this type of effect to be convincing requires "acting skills". Much of the "effect" is not an effect at al...

Re: Shaded waveform view (when zoomed out)

I still don't see what useful information the shading imparts. I think this is the important question to address if you are to persuade a developer to invest time and effort into implementing this idea. Also, this algorithm requires considerably more processing than the current algorithm, which will...

Both waveforms were created by mixing 3 tones of equal amplitude with frequencies of 440 Hz, 660 Hz and 880 Hz.
The difference between the two waveforms is the phase of the tones.

Re: Native notch-filter will not notch above 10kHz :¬(

If we have a keyword for the Nyquist rate, it makes sense that if there is one selected audio track it should be the rate for the selected track. If more than one track is selected, they may have different sample rates. Obviously the most useful behaviour in this case would be for the lowest track s...
