Re: reset Preferences CFG file

The "single button" patch edits "audacity.cfg" down to "NewPrefsInitialized=1" and does not delete pluginregistry.cfg. So although I think that's OK, Steve presumably doesn't. I'm not opposed to retaining "NewPrefsInitialized=1" per se. My "complaint&quo...

Re: Squelch some warnings

I've only checked the changes that you proposed for src/Menus.cpp, and none of the code that you have changed exists in current svn.

"Sound Finder" and "Beat Finder" are both close - how far did you get modifying them? What doesn't work?

Re: Add track display view to AUP

Knowing that you are a stickler for detail ;) If the track display is part of the project, then strictly speaking, changing the display of a track "changes the project". So if I open a project and change the view of a track, then the project is now different. So why am I not able to use &q...

Re: Record level has to be set very low 0.04

Exactly - it is an assumption, and yes it has some logic to it. But you presented it as a hard fact with an exact dB modification level based on one developer's report with two cheap (un-named) devices. My "assumption" is regarding "why" Microsoft decided to do it. The "har...

Re: Record level has to be set very low 0.04

I don't think that should be regarded as confirmed or official without more evidence from Microsoft itself that they (rather than OEM computer manufacturers or USB port manufacturers) are responsible. I have not researched it. Perhaps Microsoft give "guidance" to OEM's about this in the s...

No other reports of such to date, so not likely.

Do other Nyquist plug-ins work? (for example Adjustable Fade)?

Re: Amplify Effect in an Edit Chain?

Should I use Normalize instead? Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: "Amplify" allows you to set how much to amplify by . (Example: Amplify by +3 dB) "Normalize" allows you to set what level to amplify to . (Example: amplify to -1 dB) "Normalize" also allows you to correc...

Re: Will 2.0.03 measure seconds to 6 decimal places?

Why has the Audio position to show a value of 0 in stop mode? In this case, it should take the value of the left boundary of the selection in my humble opinion. I'm unsure what you are observing. As far as I can see it appears to be working correctly. Could you give steps to reproduce the issue (I ...

Re: Record level has to be set very low 0.04

It all works OK but I am concerned the level has to be set so low. Doesn't seem right. That is normal. For some reason, Microsoft thought it a good idea to set +30 dB of software gain by default (amplifying USB audio input by +30 dB). Lowering the recording level to "4" (in Recording Devi...
