Re: help to do balancing, mastering ?

The easiest, and by far the quickest method is to use WinAmp's "Replay Gain" to adjust the playback level (see: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=345520) and use WinAmp's "play list" feature to combine the MP3s into one play list. This also has the advantage that it does ...

Re: Shrink Window to Track Height?

Be nice to have a command to shrink the window vertically and eliminate the large amount of gray space and allow better editing between files. I'm guessing from your description that you have two Audacity windows open to edit between two files. You don't need to do that. You can import both files i...

10 audio CDs?

If you mean 10 audio files, what format are they and what are you playing them on? Does your player support "Replay Gain"? If playing in iTunes, use "Sound Check".

Re: Can't upsample to 24 bit depth.

if i'm hearing you right than a higher bit depth and sample rate is only useful for the recording process and does nothing when upsampling? Increasing the number of samples per second (increasing the "bit rate") can be useful for a few specific types of processing, for example if you need...

Re: Can't upsample to 24 bit depth.

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, or, more importantly, "why". I get the impression that you are wanting to change the format of your CD tracks to 24 bit / 96 kHz WAV files in the hope that it will improve the sound quality. It won't improve the sound quality. If that is what...

Re: Problems with the new Noise Reduction replacing Noise Re

I strongly suggest taking a spectrogram view to all who follow this discussion. Learn to SEE the visible signatures that "metallic" sounds make. Why should anyone care what it "looks" like? It's audio - I care about what it "sounds" like. Ref: "Equation" by A...

Re: Problems with the new Noise Reduction replacing Noise Re

"I used from 4.127 seconds to 4.871 seconds." I assume that applies here. But please tell the exact noise reduction settings in the three examples. Unless I say otherwise please assume that the procedure and settings are as I stated in the post. PRENOISE001.flac As posted by darrendeans P...

Re: Old Experimental Theme Support

The ability to be able to manipulate the colour set would be a desired feature even once the other theme code is dropped. Off the record (if anything can be "off record" on a public forum ;)) I've seen a sneak preview of the available customisations proposed by one of the lead developers,...

Re: Problems with the new Noise Reduction replacing Noise Re

I will be, mate. As soon as I finish my current project. Excellent, that will be very helpful. To demonstrate the difference between the old Noise Removal and the new Noise Reduction I have created a small demonstration. Thanks, that is very useful (and big thank you for making them WAV format - co...
