Re: Deleting portions of Audio with Audacity

Edit commands (and most other functions) are only available when playback is Stopped (not Play, Record or Pause).
Press the Stop button and see if deletion then works.

Re: FeatReq: Notch filter 'invert+mix' check box

No worries, Nyquist scripts are considered to be an "advanced" topic, so it's not very prominent in the manual, but yes "sweet" :D Incidentally, the "old versions" referred to in the plug-in are now really ancient and totally obsolete, so it should be safe to disregard ...

Re: Audacity won't start on Ubuntu 13.04

Audacity tends to be "a bit slow" launching on Ubuntu, but I absolutely agree that is way too long. Try launching Audacity from a terminal window: Open a terminal window and type audacity then press Enter. A load of stuff should come up while Audacity looks for available audio devices and ...

Re: Engine noise to components?

I would see Noise Removal as a spectral subtraction plug-in in its purest form The Noise Removal effect in Audacity is more of a "spectral gate" type of effect. Closely related to "Spectral Subtraction", except that the "subtraction" only occurs when higher level signa...

Re: FeatReq: Notch filter 'invert+mix' check box

The Notch filter effect in Audacity is a simple "Nyquist" effect. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference Nyquist is a scripting language that has been included in Audacity and allows users to easily use custom effects, or customize existing Nyquist effects. The thing ...

Re: Engine noise to components?

Any ideas, how to repair track by removing waste components? There is also problem that generator works like fan and air flows etc. might cause problems. I can open spectrogram and take FFT-file out but is there any tool to remove components which are lower than -x dB, so I can hear and see better ...

Re: Sync Drift from different Zoom Recorders

I was thinking of a universal sort of device triggered by a simple button on every video recorder such that opo would be easily achieved without disturbing the audience and without requiring the operator to let go of the recording device. I'm certainly not knocking the idea. I think it would be an ...

Re: 4 track to stereo mix down

It has always bugged me that the stereo file is called a track and each song on the CD is called a track --- Me too :D I tend to use the term "song" when referring to tracks on a CD (even though it may be spoken word or music without lyrics). I've been reading the manual and tutorials Hav...

Re: Recording several mics to separate tracks

To record multiple channels at the same time (on a computer), you (obviously) need as many input channels as the number of channels that you want to record. The sound cards that are fitted as standard in PCs have a maximum of two input channels and so only allow recording 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo) chan...
