Re: Peak Limiter

I've reworked this limiter effect and (hopefully) made some improvements. brickwall.png As shown in the above image, I've added a control for setting the level that the audio will be limited to. In the previous version this was fixed at 0 dB. Parameters: Input Gain (dB) mono/Left: [0 to +10 dB. Defa...

I agree.
I'm confident that I can do "improvement", but with such diversity in use cases I doubt that I can do "perfection" ;)

Re: Does Change Tempo Alter Sound Quality?

"Change Tempo" (and "Change Pitch") are "time stretching" effects. Normally, if you speed up or slow down some audio, then both the tempo and the pitch will change. This is what happens if you speed up or slow down a vinyl record or a cassette tape. The same happens wit...

Re: Batch editing Metadata

The feature wouldn't be worth having if there was user input required after starting the Chain. That's what I though. So as I see it, the Export Metadata command in a Chain would set the same metadata for each file to be exported, adding the tag/value if that tag does not exist, and overwriting an ...

Re: Syncing Variable Speed Audio

Is there any way with Audacity, or some other program, that I could sync these files together automatically? There's a program designed for this type of job. It's called "Capstan" (by Celemony). Unfortunately it costs over $4000. :shock: Changing the speed in small chunks would be possibl...

Re: Invert effect is audible?

My guess is that it is due to asymmetrical response of ears. Some drums have one skin that you hit and are open at the other end. Other drums have two skins, one that you hit and one closing, or partially closing the other end. The second skin has a noticeable effect on the resonance of the drum, an...

Re: Selecting and deleting audio between labels. [SOLVED]

I'm a bit surprised the Labeled Audio and copy/paste steps would be completely necessary It may not be, but if Glubbdrubb has the labels then he/she may as well use them. You're correct that with "clean" gaps, the "Truncate Silence" effect could be used directly on the unlabelle...

Re: Inaccurate documentation for compressor?

Nonetheless, because splitting does not reduce the signal level sent through AUX, can we say that the result in the "parallel compression" waveforms you made in Audacity will be much like "Motown" compression performed in hardware? The basic process is the same. In this context,...

Re: Batch editing Metadata

you might want to change tags and edit the audio at the same time. Perhaps I'm missing something. If you want the export process to be interactive, why would you want it in a Chain? If this feature was added, there would be a high risk of breaking existing user Chains. (it would be extremely annoyi...
