Thanks for the feedback Gale. If they are free of errors/typos, then I'd be happy to move both of them to the wiki. Personally the one that I usually have installed is the simple one (StretchAudio.ny) though I agree that some of the additional features in the more complex (change-speed.ny) version m...

I found that the recovered recording was a little easier to understand after applying the "Equalization" effect using the "Telephone" preset (certainly a bit less painful to listen to )

I have written a recording program which I have not made publicly available and it has those things along with true IEC 268-18 metering, peak hold and clip indicators. Unless you intend to make your code GPL v2 compatible, isn't this discussion rather academic? If you do intend to make your meter c...

Thanks Paul. Yes I'm seeing a speed improvement of about 5 to 10%. The most speed improvement that I'm getting is with the number of vocoder bands set to minimum (10). While we're at it, it may be a good idea to try and unscramble the code a bit. This isn't any faster than your optimisation, but per...

Have a look at the "Getting Started" guide for an introduction to basic usage of Audacity: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/quick_help.html

Would that be in effect during recording? Did you try it? CPU load can be reduced further by disabling "Overdub" (if not required) in the Transport menu. During recording? If there is more than one audio track, yes. If you're running into CPU load problems with a single track recording th...

Better to adjust to a clip as soon as possible after it happens. Personally I'd hate that. As you say, by the time clipping has occurred it's too late. Adjusting the level after clipping just means that you get a click (where the clipping occurred) followed by the rest of the track at a lower level...

Let me read that back to you: "I found a way to record both microphones but if you find a way to record two microphones let me know." He found a way to record with two USB microphones using other software (not Audacity). On both Linux and Mac OS X it is possible (not easy ) to configure t...

I downloaded the source, but it seems to be very Linux based. There's a clue in the name ;) Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API (LADSPA) The LADSPA web site is here: http://www.ladspa.org/ Note that LADSPA now has a successor called LV2: http://lv2plug.in/ I don't use Windows myself, but I re...
