Can you be more specific? Sorry, no. I don't use GP3 format and have not used any of those programs, but if you want "lossless" editing of a file that is in a "lossy" format, you will need a program that can perform edits without decoding / re-encoding the file. Audacity can't d...

On closer examination, there are several places where the audio is clipped. If you enable "View > Show Clipping" (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/view_menu.html#show_clipping) you will see red vertical lines where clipping has occurred. If the audio in the Audacity project is over 0 d...

Listening to the original WAV recording - generally the recording quality is very good, but it is too "hot" (the peak level is too high). At about 2minutes 52 seconds: "That while a resting place may seem ideal to you..." firsttrack000.png Note the clipping on the negative-going ...

Steve's narrative dialog with them seems to think "hovering around -3" is good enough. I The original text on the ACX website said: with peaks hovering around -3dB I asked for clarification and was told: What we are looking for is no significantly louder peaks than -3dBFS. Due to our need...

The format is MP4 embedded in 3GP. Do you know of a bit perfect MP4 editor? Search Google for "3gp splitter". Take care when downloading and installing - it is common for "free" downloads to either not really be free, or to be bundled with useless or even dangerous other softwar...

Editing an Audacity project is always "bit perfect". What may not bit perfect is converting between Audacity projects and audio file formats. Importing or exporting 32 bit float WAV format is completely lossless but the file size is huge. Importing / Exporting 16 bit FLAC format is extreme...

Which version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help > About Audacity"). The current version is 2.0.5 which is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/

The Nyquist Prompt is an "Effect" so you can set a keyboard shortcut in the same way as other effects. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/keyboard_preferences.html but probably better would be to make the code as a plug-in http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference#Nyqu...

I am not completely understanding what the effect of the threshold setting is here. It seems more complex than stated in the Manual: I've not given it much thought before - I tend to set it by eye rather than a precise measurement, but it looks like it is triggered by the rms level rather than the ...

Perhaps we want a warning as in Click Removal that the selection is too short? It's a slightly different case from the click removal issue. For click removal, the issue was that if the selection was too short it would do "nothing". In the case of Noise removal, even a single sample will d...
