Do you have 5 separate mono tracks in Audacity like this?

Is this song something that you have recorded?
What is the "chh" sound? Is it a high-hat being played?
Is the recoding a full mix, or do you have separate tracks for each instrument?

If the Nyquist Advanced Generator does more than generate a single tone (so that e.g. it could create simple sequences), I would see more point to it. There are already people that use Audacity for editing instrument samples for use in samplers and sequencers. For example, there are a lot of refere...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the forum software (phpBB) does not provide that feature. I've looked to see if there is a mod available to add that functionality, but there is currently no officially supported mod to do that. I did find an unofficial mod, but it is currently a beta version...

11.025-99.000 kHz What does that mean? Do you mean that the sample rate must be between 11.025 kHz and 99 kHz? The default sample rate in Audacity is 44.1 kHz (44100 Hz). The actual sample rate of exported tracks is determined by the "Project Rate". That is set in the text box in the lowe...

2) is a significant disbenefit. There's no reason why Nyquist plug-ins can't have time control widgets, other than that no-one has written that into the Audacity/Nyquist interface yet. Roll-on "version 4" ;) Didn't we previously use the Nyquist DTMF Generator then made a built-in effect? ...

You might still need a locking mechanism. I'm contesting the word "need". It seems that most of those that are in favour of a locking mechanism use Audacity with single track, or low track count projects. In such cases the "safe" clicking area for track selection is huge with th...
