There's a proposal on the wiki that I think is worth reading: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_Noise_Removal I was particularly encouraged by the preliminary tests of "Spectral Subtraction" (the current effect is more like a "spectral gating" type effect). Though I don'...

Most of my suggestions (along with the opinions of others) have been rolled into the documentation in the new 2.0.6 (alpha) manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Noise_Removal

If I recall (I've not checked the code), the DC component is discarded.

On Windows you can run different configurations by making one or both versions "portable". That is, so that the settings are stored within the program folder rather than in the users' profile. To do that, create an empty folder within the Audacity program folder and name it "Portable ...

The diaphragm inside an SM57 or SM58 floats. If you play your cards right, the soundcard will record the main voice and the protection signal (pin2 and pin3) "straight" which means two copies of the same show, one upside down. A reasonable conjecture. An audio sample will soon confirm. We...

2) I understand why there is division by 20 calculating mNoiseAttenFactor. I understand why division is by 10 not 20 when computing mSensitivityFactor because it is used in comparison of squared amplitudes. I do not understand why division is by 10 not 20 when computing mOneBlockAttackDecay which a...

My guess is that your recordings are too "hot" (the level is too high) so they are distorted, but the problem does not show up on your laptop speakers or car speakers due to limitations of those speakers. For serious audio work it is essential that you have reasonable quality speakers or h...

I've been using Audacity for years with different version of Ubuntu, and it decides to break with a new version. As a general point, Ubuntu is an early adopter of new technology and new versions. The plus side is that Ubuntu users get to be among the first to try out the latest and greatest softwar...

As far as I know the only way to get truly gap-less (and glitch less) CD tracks is to use CD writing software that supports working with a single wav file plus "cue sheet". Perhaps the case many years ago, but there have been programs available for many years that are able to write gaples...

That's a historical point. Earlier versions of the Audacity compressor used the term "Decay" instead of "Release". Pleased to say that I persuaded the developers to change it. The word "decay" was probably used so as to be consistent with the Audacity effect, but yes, i...
