Recording digital audio involves "sampling" the analogue waveform at regular intervals (thousands of times per second for normal audio). The rate at which the audio is sampled (how many measurements are made per second) is called the "sample rate". The sample rate for CD quality ...

By the way, I presume that you have seen the "Sample Data Export" tool: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sa ... xport.html
(it's the reverse of what you are asking for)

if I wrote a piece of code that spews out 16 bit unsigned quantities (I guess I'd have to try the big/little endian dance) they would be interpreted as samples? For 16 bit audio samples it is more usual to have signed integers. Internally Audacity uses "32 bit floating point" (not widely ...

which would need to be kept in step with the enumerated types 1) What would happen with your original code if a later version of Audacity changed the enumerated types (so they were not in step with previous versions) and a user opens an old project? 2) What would happen if strings were used and a l...

I agree that un-bolding is unlikely to help that purpose, but it looks better.
Let's try it like this for a while and see if it makes things worse.

You can't currently do it using Excel because that will produce a series of text values, whereas what you need for RAW import is the actual binary values. RAW format is simply a series of binary values. For a 16 bit RAW file, it is a series of 16 bit values. I'm not a "C" programmer, but I...

Would it be worth making it a little longer so that the XML is clearer for humans? (example: display=Waveform_dB)

Perhaps you could try the Audacity-freeworld package?
There is one limitation with that version, which is that it probably won't support LAME and FFmpeg, which is not a problem if you stick with free/open audio formats.

"Change Speed" is a built-in effect (written in C++), so it is not so easy to modify the code. To do so you would need to modify the Audacity source code and then build the Audacity application from your modified source code. Doing so can be quite complex, particularly on Windows and Mac O...

Receiving radio on tooth-fillings is an urban myth ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2003_season)#Radio_Tooth_Fillings They proved that they were unable to reproduce the alleged behaviour, but absence of proof is not proof of absence. It is certainly not a common phenomenon, but persona...
