Re: Help With Vocal Audio Clip

You can counter the room resonance (the "wineglass" effect) to some degree using the Equalization effect. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html The reverberation can also be reduced using a "trick" that Robert J H mentioned right at the start of this topic - usin...

Re: "Show Clipping" Options

I think we've moved this from "bug" to "enhancement", and I support the idea of enhancing clip detection/notification. I think that providing preference settings is only justified in cases where the default settings work well for one job and badly for another. If the default sett...

Re: Karplus–Strong algoritm

that is wrong right ? Yes that's wrong. The expected behaviour for Karplus–Strong synthesis is that the sound decays. For that to work, the overall gain must be less than 1. Sorry, I've no idea about your code, but there is an implementation of Karplus-Strong algorithm in "Nyquist" code h...

Re: sync-lock

Working with very large projects requires a bit of strategy as well as technical features. A few tips: 1) Make regular back-ups. Ideally, save the project periodically using "File > Save Project As..." and give each back-up a unique name. A good naming system is to number with leading zero...

Re: Audacity can't find my USB input

With the USB interface connected to the computer, look in the Windows Sound Control Panel to see if the device has been recognised by Windows and is enabled. If it is not recognised by Windows or is disabled, then Audacity will not be able to access the device.

Re: Copy voice sound

As a start, use the Equalization effect to cut off all the bass and much of the treble - something similar to the "walkie-Talkie" preset will be a good start. Then add some Echo, and some reverberation (Reverb). You will need to experiment to get the exact sound that you want.

Re: Realise a plugin

Mod-nyq-bench and mod-script-pipe compile OK with GCC.
On Linux I usually put modules in ~/.audacity-files/modules
Modules need to enabled in "Edit > Preferences > Modules" and they need to be built on the same day as Audacity is compiled.

Re: individual songs on CD

You need to export each song as separate audio files, then use your CD burning software to compile the tracks onto a CD. There is a detailed tutorial about how to do this in this part of the manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_copying_tapes_lps_or_minidiscs_to_cd.html and this sect...

Re: Manual

You should be able to resize the windows so that you can see both (though both will be a bit small unless you have a huge monitor display). Alternatively, pressing the"Alt" and "Tab" keys together should allow you to quickly switch from one to the other. Alternatively, you should...
