Re: Auto-Zero

This is a slightly modified version that is accurate to the sample: (setq fade-length 0.005) (setq dur (get-duration 1)) (abs-env (control-srate-abs *sound-srate* (let* ((fl fade-length) (env (pwlv 0 fl 1 (- dur fl) 1 dur 0))) (mult s env)))) As you can probably guess, the length of the fade is set ...

Re: Auto-Zero

Let's try this as a starting point. Select an audio clip, then open the "Nyquist Prompt" effect (Effect menu). Copy and paste this code into the Nyquist Prompt text window and apply: (setq fade-length 0.005) (setq dur (get-duration 1)) (abs-env (let* ((fl fade-length) (env (pwlv 0 fl 1 (- ...

I've just tried an 8 hour selection with labels at intervals of 600 seconds.
It works fine here:

Re: My spoken "s's" are too prominent

The technical term for that is "sibilance". The first thing to consider is: Is it really a problem? How are you listening to the recording? Some headphones / speakers (mostly cheap headphones) can exaggerate sibilance. When making corrections of this kind it is important that you are liste...

Re: What is the real sampling rate?

I will have to get myself a fast ADC. Something to watch out for before you spend money - ADC's that are designed and marketed for recording audio will often pre-filter the audio with a low-pass filter before converting it to digital. For recording (normal) audio this is generally a good thing beca...

Re: Auto-Zero

OK, so this is getting to the nitty-gritty. Plugins can only act on audio within the "selection". They have absolutely no concept of audio existing before or after the selection. A new feature that becomes available in the next release version of Audacity is that Nyquist plugins will becom...

Re: Auto-Zero

It would allow a person to very easily create multiple little "snippets" or "loops" to create longer loops and riffs without getting that terrible-sounding "crackle" that you get if you cut something not at a zero crossing. For short sections, it would be very easy to ...

Re: What is the real sampling rate?

How can I determine the real samplingrate? The "real" sample rate depends on where you are looking. When recording, Audacity requests audio at the "project rate" (bottom left corner of the main Audacity window), unless you are "append recording" into an existing track,...

Re: Blue Yeti not working on my computer????

OK, so Windows does not recognise the device.
The problem is either with the mic, the lead or your computer.
Are you able to test the mic on another computer?
Are you able to try a different USB lead?
Has this microphone ever worked?

Re: Auto-Zero

I'm a little confused by your description. "Zero crossing point" is "the place at which the waveform crosses zero" - it's not an editing action per se. Do you mean that you want a "one click" method to apply a short fade-in / fade-out to the selected audio clip? If so, ...
