Re: Why smooth freq curves?

Ive heard people mention that equaliser freqency curves should be smooth without drastic peaks or troughs. You don't need to be obsessive about this. The crucial term is "drastic". A little unevenness in the curve will have no audible effect. A "drastic" (large and sudden) chang...

Re: modified silence marker to insert more silence

Old topic revived after new interest expressed in this other topic: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=241846#p241846 Regarding the name of this effect I'm currently inclined to stick with "Stretch Silence..." Although it may not be entirely correct when adding a fixed amount of...

Re: How is RMS Value Determined?

Is there a standard for this? There is no standard, or looking at it another way, there are lots of standards depending on what is being measured and the context, but no standards that apply to waveform displays in audio editors. The "time period" is referred to as the "window size&q...

Re: Background noise returns after export

There's something a bit odd here. Looking at the AUP file that you posted, the quietest part of the project is about 20 dB RMS louder than dither noise and the loudest part is 50 dB louder than dither noise (about 300 times louder).

Re: Conserving/creating ID3 spare space

I repeat: having spare bytes in the ID3 header is a design feature of ID3V2 and higher, If I'm understanding your suggestion correctly, the feature that you are requesting is "optional" From http://id3.org/d3v2.3.0 It is permitted to include padding after all the final frame (at the end o...

Re: Feature request: Moving tracks

But if we allow moving clips vertically with the mouse, I think we should allow moving tracks vertically with the mouse. I think the case is different. When we drag audio clips, we are dragging "selected" audio clips. (Currently) when we move tracks, either with the drop down menu command...

Re: Feature request: Moving tracks

Do we want to describe only the yellow border focus? That would be a good start. Is any other unseen focus relevant (the focus that would show if you ran accessibility tools)? I've not used accessibility tools so I don't know what those things are. Dragging selected audio in multiple tracks vertica...

Re: separate audio by *beep*

You could try using the technique described in my earlier reply (http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=214415#p214415) to exaggerate the beeps on a duplicate copy of the track, then use Silence Finder (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/silence_finder_and_sound_finder.html#silence) to add ...

Re: Frequency Analysis issue: pink noise

I think the feature request is for a spectrum analyzer with user definable frequency bands (constant percentage bandwidth analyzer), for example, 1, 1/2, 1/3 octave per band. Please put me down as +1 for this feature (as a new feature and NOT as a replacement for any part of "Plot Spectrum")
