Re: filter convolve

My question is the following one: does the filter convolve simply serve to copy at the beginning and at the end of a sound, an audio fragment (the response)? No. The function CONVOLVE convolves two signals. (convolve sound response) In your example, (osc c4 4) is a 4 second duration sine wave and i...

Re: Increasing Bass - Audacity 2.0.2 Windows XP Pro

See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ba ... reble.html

Note that if you are listening on little computer speakers, you won't hear any increase in bass because little computer speakers don't produce bass frequencies.

Re: Sensible defaults could make Audacity a lot better

It's in the numbers, Steve. WC acknowledged that when he wrote that most YT video's about Audacity distorted. The majority of users are importing music. And that music is usually compressed to death. It's as simple as that. If that is the primary concern, then I venture to say that a better solutio...

Is that +1 for having a "sone scaled view" or +1 for a sone scale view being the default view (bearing in mind that much less than 1% of our users are likely to have the slightest idea of what they are looking at)?

Re: Speaker Feedback From Concert Audio

Then look up the ceiling and see the little white "flying saucer" jobbies. They were retro-added at a fair cost to improve the sound for recording. It ain't easy as Koz points out ... An interesting trivia fact: the acoustic treatment of the Sydney Opera House cost more than the original ...

Re: Automatically import raw data files?

The main reason that most file types have "headers" is to tell applications about the format so that applications can open the file correctly. For audio files it can be very difficult to work out what the exact format is unless you already know, which is why headers are usually used for pu...

Re: Sensible defaults could make Audacity a lot better

I am broadly in support if cyrano's point 1 - that the data in the Track Control panel should accurately represent the actuality of the track. So am I, but the point that I have been trying over and over is that the logarithmic view is no more "realistic" than the linear view. They presen...

Re: Sensible defaults could make Audacity a lot better

I came to Audacity from the world of cassette decks and on my Nak BX-2 with TDK-SA tapes that it was set for I knew I could successfully push the meters to near the extreme and the tape would "soak it up" (I have a fair grasp of the physics involved). So when I started out I worked with A...

Re: window setting

The theoretical maximum frequency for digital audio is half the sample rate. Thus for a sample rate of 44100 Hz (CD standard), the maximum possible frequency is 22050 Hz. In practice the maximum frequency is a little less than the theoretical maximum. So, for a sample rate of 192000 Hz, the theoreti...
