Re: possible to make this plugin? ("auto draw wave")

Nyquist can find the first point in the selection where the waveform crosses any threshold that you specify, but it can't change the selection start/end point. Nyquist just receives a lump of audio (from the selection), processes it, and returns it to Audacity. Nyquist has no concept of tracks or se...

Re: possible to make this plugin? ("auto draw wave")

The "find zero crossing point feature" is very practical..I almost don't dare to ask (you already helped me out a lot) but, would it be a lot of work to make a plugin that does the same for a custom value (other than zero)? for example move the selection to the closest 0.257 points...best...

Re: Manipulating Decibels

Have a noise floor no higher than -60dB RMS. How much difference is weighting/unweighted going to make to that figure? Is it really a "specification" without specifying weight? When I spoke (e-mail) to ACX a while back I was told "unweighted rms". Weighting would not normally ma...

Re: Manipulating Decibels

By my measurements, the peak level is -1.0 dB which is just a little too high Typo: should have been -1.9 dB (now corrected in my original post. Select all, then "Effect > Amplify" shows the peak amplitude to be -1.9 dB. or install this "show peak amplitude" plugin http://forum....

Re: Manipulating Decibels

Yes. That's a segment from Car Talk show 1413. It's a studio quiet show with no attempt at volume regulation in the podcast. Tom has the nuclear laugh and Ray tends to talk in his beer. I didn't try the noise test. This is just a pass at Chris with the compression turned up a bit. The peaks hover a...

Re: possible to make this plugin? ("auto draw wave")

Is there a way in audacity to speed-shift multiple tracks at once to a same frequency? If you want the code to detect the frequency and then calculate the amount of speed-shift to tune it to a specified frequency, that is difficult. The difficult part is to accurately detect the frequency, unless y...

Re: Colorful noise algorithm

I tried to make the lisp-type code look a bit nicer; Much nicer :) A tip for indenting "IF" statements: (if (test-expr) (then-expr) (else-expr)) Note that the test-expression, then-expression and else-expression all line up, which makes it easy to see at a glance the structure of the if-t...

Re: Support edit controller

Being able to use such a controller with Audacity to do what? What would you want the controller to control? Would you want it to take over from the current mouse wheel functions? Mouse Wheel scrolls tracks up/down (assuming more tracks than fit on screen at one time). Shift+Mouse wheel scrolls the...
