A more general question – is it POSSIBLE to achieve this with Nyquist script? Writing a Nyquist script to produce labels is easy. Nyquist is a computer language (based on a language called LISP). The way that Nyquist works in Audacity is that Audacity can pass certain types of data (including selec...

Nyquist files are written as "plain text" files. You can examine the contents by opening the file in a plain text editor (such as NotePad), though you should take care not to modify the file unless you know what you are doing ;) Instructions for installing Nyquist plugins are here: http://...

I’m curious about this, Steve. I can’t use it, because I’m on Windows, but I’m curious why you use Ardour. What does it have over the other “major” DAWs (Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, Reason etc) don’t have? I use Linux. Ardour runs natively on Linux, which few other DAWs do. Also, I like the design p...

I think that you could achieve the same ends more easily than now using features that are already in Audacity. 1) Labels may be created as a plain text file (possibly generated in Excel). The format for a label text file is: start-time end-time label-text where [*]"start-time" and "en...

Not "should". A single mono track will always play through both speakers (so long as the playback equipment isn't broken).

I saw that Audacity suports many tracks I thought it also worked as a DAW Indeed many people do use it as their "digital audio workstation", but I for the purposes of a case study it is probably quite important to appreciate that Audacity (as a multi-track audio editor) is designed agains...

In that case, split the track into (two) mono tracks using the track drop-down menu (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tr ... _menu.html).
Then delete the silent track by clicking on the [X] in the top left corner of the track.
