Re: Force Audacity to Use PulseAudio, not Jack.

It looks like PulseAudio is not running.

Re: Low frequency roll-off for speech

I don't think there is any "risk" but a novice may think the curve is similar to the existing "100 Hz rumble" filter and not know which to use. To what extent are the curves hitting the same problem? They are similar and for similar purposes. The main difference is that "LF...

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

+1 for the preprocessing code scheme. I'm glad that you like the idea. I think that "pre-processing" alongside real time preview capability will revolutionise Nyquist plug-ins. Pre-processing would also open up the opportunity for Nyquist to pass additional information and instructions to...

Re: Nyquist functions for selection and cut/paste

So, Nyquist cannot access the data structures of Audacity, No. The scripting API is not currently exposed to Nyquist. Python could work better than Nyquist for that purpose. The specific language is not really important. The crucial factor is whether the language has access to the the scripting API...

The question here is whether to include this as a preset in the main release version of Audacity. As such it is a "feature request".

Re: Low frequency roll-off for speech

It is not yet in for Audacity 2.1.2. The next release is supposed to be about upgrading to Wx3 rather than adding new features. As this is not related to that upgrade and is not a bug fix I'm hesitant about introducing it now, though you may want to suggest this on the QA list as a low risk enhancem...

Re: The problem with effect "Normalize".

On the topic of accuracy levels/nos. of significant figures - I don't think we have resolved this issue. I just looked at Amplify and its "accuracy" levels just look daft to me (2.1.1 r13dbaf1 17-aug-15) - move the slider and I see 4 digits after the decimal point ! The issue here affects...

Re: Decimal places in effect settings

The specific case is "done and dusted", so yes I think this can now be archived. The more general case is that the new validation system is more rigorous than previous validation, so effects that relied on "sloppy validation" are likely to need updating if we are to avoid regress...

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

Don't try it with the newest version, it crashes Audacity. Thanks for mentioning that. Even if "rate" is not supported, it shouldn't crash, so that's a bug that should be fixed. Anyways, this is presumably the kind of approach to take, define a variable that can be inserted instead of an ...

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

We once had a variable "rate" that could be inserted in a control in order to represent the sampling rate of the (first) track. I once asked about that (many years ago). I was told that it was deliberately not documented and should not be used. At that time I new nothing about C++ code so...
