Re: separating audio from an mp4 file

Are you guys saying Audacity won't do what I want with the file after all? No, not saying that, though to support the proprietary formats mp4 and mp3, Audacity requires a couple of plugins (as Gale previously wrote). To import the mp4 you will need FFmpeg (supports many formats), and to export an M...

Re: Dynamic Compression Problem?

Look in "Help > About Audacity". What version number is your Audacity?

This is the "after" that I'm getting using Audacity 2.1.0

Same here. The length of the damage is too great to make a good repair. Just bodge it up best as you can.

Re: Dynamic Compression Problem?

If you could post a short sample that demonstrates the problem (just a few seconds in WAV or FLAC format), then we may be able to see what is going on.

Re: jack latency correction wierdness

It's still dead on after a reboot - so no I can't confirm the problem Some things to check: 1) A void pushing the system too hard. 6ms latency is pretty tight even for dedicated hardware. 2) Ensure that you are using the same sample rate throughout. 3) Ensure that you are getting no xruns. 4) Ensure...

Using the latency correction (as described here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/latency_test.html), Audacity's latency correction set to -24.2 ms. I'm using a stereo click track for the tes...
