It's really simple to setup as it has a built-in trigger function. That is basically what the Nyquist script does. It triggers when the amplitude rises above the given threshold. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yysnkY4WHyM :D Cool. When's the demo with a thousand metronomes? :D (I saw the...

I can't help much with VST issues as I don't use Windows (or Mac), but this FAQ may shed some light: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... vst_faulty

What are these signals that you are measuring? What's the bigger picture - what are you trying to do?

The "Manage" feature is only in the 2.1.1 alpha version. The correct version of Audacity to use is the 2.1.0 version (available here: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/windows To install Nyquist plug-ins, see the instructions here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug...

Could you post a short audio sample of the problem. About 5 seconds in WAV format with the click somewhere near the middle. See here for how to poat an audio sample: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=72887

This is a common problem when recording with two or more devices. The way that the professionals deal with this is to use hardware that can be physically connected to a common word clock so as to ensure that all devices remain synchronised. For consumer level equipment hardware synchronisation is ra...

The amplitude at that point in time is whatever you set as the threshold value in the first line.
You say this is "a physics investigation", so please try to be precise about what you need.
Have you tried studying the code to see how it works?

When I click "debug" I can copy the output, but the output is only a list of values for time without the values of sound volume. That's what it does. It gives you a list of times when the waveform rises above the threshold level. As far as I could tell from your posts, that seemed to be w...

Looking at the first 2 sentences, I think the description you posted actually describes the compression section, not the Noise Floor section. The algorithm is not split into "sections" in the way that I think you are suggesting. There are simply two parts to the algorithm: Part 1) The env...

Yes, there are arguments for average or absolute max, but summing the channels is clearly a bug. I think that most of the alternative versions that I have posted on the forum use the absolute max.
