Re: Help with focusrite 2i2 vocal recording.

I don't know whether I should set levels to my ordinary, quiet volume or whether to set the levels around my belting powerful parts. Set your levels to your belting powerful parts. If you get clipping distortion your show is irreparably trashed, so that must be avoided at all costs. We generally re...

Re: not possible to open a new Audacity window

You can open a new window with "File menu > New", or the shortcut Ctrl+N . It is very important to me. I'm always a little concerned when I hear that someone relies heavily on having multiple projects open at the same time. It usually indicates that they are missing some tricks and have a ...

Re: LAFmax from Nyquist plugin to GNU/Octave

I don't use Octave, but perhaps I can help with the Nyquist part. (snd-avg (snd-biquad (mult sa sa ) 1 0 0 (exp (/ 1 (mult (snd-srate sa) -0.125))) 0 0 0) 441 441 OP-AVERAGE) There are lots of nested functions here. Let's separate it out a bit: (let ((sig (mult sa sa)) (b0 1) (b1 0) (b2 0) (a1 (exp ...

Re: audacity from command line...

But when i launch it from command line. It search/analize 'wine pluging' before startup and it never start.

Re: Mixing of N tracks automatically

Well, in the end, I would like to be done on a server... If you mean an on-line web server, there are many reasons why Audacity is not a good tool for the job. If you don't want to write a program from scratch, then SoX may be a better option: http://sox.sourceforge.net/ If you're dealing with PCM ...

Re: From low-pass to normal and vice-versa?

1) Duplicate the track (Ctrl+D) 2) Apply Low Pass filter to the duplicate 3) Apply Fade Out to the first half of the original track and Fade In to the second half. 4) Apply Fade In to the first half of the duplicate track and Fade Out to the second half. For more complex changes you can use the &quo...

Re: Mixing of N tracks automatically

Can this be done programmatically, without human intervention? Computers don't do anything without human intervention. You have to turn it on, launch programs (or create a script to launch the program(s) on boot), .... The question is "how much human intervention". How is your computer go...

Re: Exporting for Mixing

It still didn't work for me :-( I can assure you that the method does work (I use it regularly), so perhaps we could try to work out what you are doing wrong. Perhaps you could post a screenshot of your project after you have added one second of silence to the start of each track. See here for how ...

Re: double tracking

A really simple way is: 1) Double click on the track to select it. 2) Ctrl+D to duplicate it 3) Zoom in quite close so that you can see fractions of a second (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/zooming.html) 4) Use the Time Shift tool to slide the duplicate track just a little to the right (try ab...
