Audacity Forum

I'm using Big Sur, and Apple have completely changed the confirmation dialog. It now has three large buttons in a vertical column. From the keyboard, to select "No", it's "Shift + Tab" then "Enter", or "Tab" twice then "Enter". This is a macOS change...

By default, Audacity works in 32-bit float format. It is very highly recommended that you retain this default.

To export as 24-bit wav, select "File menu > Export > Export as WAV", and then set "Encoding" to "Signed 24-bit PCM".

We don't provide email support - forum support only.
Also, it's very rare that the developers visit this forum - you would be better contacting them directly via their mailing list (see: https://www.audacityteam.org/contact/mailing-lists/)

Deselecting the Solo button on any track unmutes all tracks in project. Not a bug, just a different default behaviour. Yes it's inconvenient for multi-track projects, but the majority of users only ever work on single track projects (hence the new default). For multi-track projects there's another ...

(Warning: It's complicated)

can audacity somehow calculate numbers? Yes Audacity can do arithmetic operations. For example, in the Nyquist Prompt: (setf A 23) (setf B 7) (print (+ A B)) ;prints "30" 10=high notes & 0=low notes Nyquist does not know what "high notes" and "low notes" mean. As I...

A very interesting and unique output method :) It's a little bit risky using Unicode as Nyquist itself does not support it, but it worked fine for me. Also it's nice to see someone using SAL :ugeek: Personally I always use the Lisp syntax (SAL didn't exist when I started learning how to use Nyquist)...

I ripped a vinyl (Sgt Peppers Hearts Club Band, which has really distinct left and right channels) to a good computer, with good results, and to the bad computer, with bad results. Again, same grabber hardware, and same vanilla Audacity settings. So that we're covering all bases, please describe in...

This is why I use Wavepad - the instructions for Audacity are extremely poor and the features limited and complicated to use...I suppose that's why it is free. For the record, Audacity is MUCH more powerful than Wavepad, and has a lot more documentation because there is a lot more to document, but ...

An alternative approach is to apply this Nyquist code to the track in the Nyquist Prompt effect (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/nyquist_prompt.html) ;version 4 (setf hz 750) (let* ((dry (pwlv 1 1 0)) (wet (diff 1 dry))) (sum (mult (lowpass2 *track* 750) wet) (mult *track* dry))) Or for a s...
