Re: Why is the Recording level meter showing a very slow dec

Have you changed the "refresh rate" in the meter preferences? http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/me ... .html#menu
The default value is 30.

Re: Bass and Treble Effects not active?

Most commands are disabled during record, play or pause.
Press the Stop button to stop playback.

Re: Labels guidance

There are "point labels" that mark a single point, and "region labels" that mark a region. There is no big difference between the two - a "point label" is really just a region label where the start and end points coincide. If you click precisely on the arrow (not the ci...

Re: The Equalizer needs a gain control (v.2.0.5)

Topic moved to "Adding Features" board. The first one would determine the flatness of the curve and is the most important one imo. Unless that could be an "advanced interface option" (disabled by default), I'd be slightly against that. I can imagine inexperienced users being very...

Re: Audacity 2.0.5 won't recognize Fender amp's USB cable

Audacity does not ship with ASIO support. That means that the release version of Audacity cannot use ASIO drivers. It may be necessary to install WDM drivers for your Fender. Please note that we are unable to help if you do not give necessary information. If you still need help, please read this fir...

Re: Fuzzy audio after starting Audacity

Also, I noticed that if I adjust the master volume level (using the volume up/down buttons on my keyboard), the <PCM> along with all the different surround channel levels immediately go to 100% and stay there until I adjust them back down individually. Is that normal? That definitely looks like bug...

Re: The Equalizer needs a gain control (v.2.0.5)

+1 for a gain control on the Equalization effect.
The way that I envisage this working is as a vertical slider that raises/lowers the Eq curve ("Draw Curves" mode), or all of the sliders in tandem ("Graphic EQ" mode) while retaining the current "shape".

Re: Creating a cassette converter plug-in

See the thing is, this project is actually for my final year project of my degree. I'm supposed to design a plug-in that would simplify the task of converting tapes into mp3s. Having said that, what can I actually code with Nyquist to do that then? Is this a computing/programming degree? Audacity a...

Re: Fuzzy audio after starting Audacity

You can make Audacity bypass PulseAudio and use the ALSA drivers directly by selecting the "hw" options for the recording and playback devices in the device toolbar.

Re: Creating a cassette converter plug-in

Okay how about this. Without using a plug-in I can use Audacity to get the noise profile of the track and then apply noise reduction throughout the entire track right? (Using Effect > Noise Removal.. > Get Noise Profile) Is it possible to create my own plug-in that does this? Or will just using an ...
