Re: Auto labelling - possible?

If a count reset or a label sort needs "years of discussion" then the system is broken IMHO I agree that some options could be useful, but given that the developer's don't like "preferences bloat", and no-one likes "menu bloat", how would you propose to add options to ...

Re: How to insert selection at the beginning of a track

if you have audio "selected", then the pasted audio will replace the selected audio. (see here for a description of what "selected audio" means: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_selection.html) If you put the cursor at the start of the track but do not select the tra...

Re: How to apply equalizer without clipping? (2.0.6)

but I am assuming what you mean is that 32bit float is high enough precision that it doesn't really matter practice in normal usage (ie. not hundreds of extreme level changes). Quite so. In fact you can perform literally hundreds of amplification operations without any significant losses. 32 bit fl...

Re: How would you repair this audio clip?

it seems to me that I am required to define (declare, learn, whatever) what I understand to be noise. Is that the way you did it? Yes. I just looked for one of the longer gaps between words and selected that to make the "noise profile". The (pre-release) manual entry for the new Noise Red...

Re: Book Recommendation?

At the time, circa 1990, there was no such thing as object oriented, but my remedy was to learn Java (and currently C#) on my own. I doubt that you were learning Java in 1990 ;) I once hired a guy who was top-notch, heavily involved in the wxWidgets project, to develop a GUI multi-platform applicat...
