The vertical track scale is a bit imprecise, but (on Linux) I can't get it as bad as your illustrations. Is that a platform difference, or does it depend on preference settings?

The effect I'm looking for is one which will make the solo start, for example, in my left ear (using phones), slowing continuing all the way to my right ear, having been in the middle, right back, slowly, to my left ear again, etc... Try the "Panning (LFO)" plugin. You can download it her...

No, they use "lp" and "hp" respectively for 6 dB per octave.

Robert J. H. wrote:The developer manual for the Spectral Edit Multi Tool mentions a roll-off of 6 dB per octave.
That's wrong, you're using lowpas2 and highpass2 which actually should have a 12 dB per octave roll-off (at least according to specifications...).

Thanks Robert. Now corrected to say 12 dB per octave.

This includes "Equal Loudness Normalizing" and will show up in the Effect menu. It seems that sentence has lost a few words over the years. It should have said: "NEW VERSION This includes "Equal Loudness Normalizing" and will show up in the Effect menu as "ReplayGain&q...

No. Increase the Q. Higher Q levels produce a narrower notch. If the Q is too high it will tend to cause ringing close to the filter frequency, so don't go too extreme.

1. I immediately see clipping. I didn't have any before, and the original recording fills up a large portion of the dynamic range, but there's a constant gap to start out. following the notch filter application, lots of red lines on the screen. this makes me sad. anything I can do? Assuming: 1) You...

i am coming out of a mixer desk into my computer when the first track is laid down then i try and play my drums to it i can hear my drums coming back a fraction of a second later this is virtually impossible to play The short answer is probably: Turn off "Software Playthrough" in the Tran...

"Center frequency" meaning geometric mean is the usual technical jargon, is it not? Yes it is. If you select from 2000 Hz to 8000, surely 4000 should be the center. Yes. I just confirmed that this is so on my build, in log and linear views, and using the precise readouts of the spectral s...

Learning how to master music properly takes years of study and experience. It's not something that we can teach you in a few forum exchanges. The simplest way to adjust the bass and treble is with the "Bass and Treble" effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/bass_and_treble.html For m...
