Re: Recording Tones Go Faint

If the problem is in the recording, my guess is that Windows "sound enhancements" are enabled and need to be turned off. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... hancements

Re: Problem with Audacity file metadata

To display characters correctly, Audacity uses Unicode.
If your other application does not support Unicode, or does not fully support Unicode (UTF-8), it will display some characters incorrectly.

Re: increasing accuracy of Silence Marker

but I would be willing to settle for adding: Gap / 2 That's what my code does: (list (/ (+ start count) (* 2 sr)) label-text) Writing that in normal arithmetical notation, the label time is: ((gap-start + gap-end) / 2) / sample-rate where "gap-start" and "gap-end" are the start ...
