Noise level 50'something dB below peak level is decent, more is better (ACX recommend a peak level of -3 dB and a noise floor of -60 dB, which is 57 dB below peak). What they definitely don't want is: "talk, talk, talk | (absolute silence) | talk, talk, talk.." because that is completely u...

preferably the plugin shouldn't join the 2 resulting parts That part can't be done at present. Audacity send one lump of audio (the "selection") to Nyquist, and Nyquist can return one lump of audio back to Audacity. Nyquist has no concept of audio clips or anything else about Audacity tra...

A little bit of code that can be run in the Nyquist Prompt (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/nyquist_prompt.html) to add distortion: (setq amount 4) ; bigger number for more distortion (defun hardclip (s amount) (setq amount (db-to-linear (- amount))) (mult (/ 0.99 amount)(clip s amount))) (mult...

We don't currently ship a distortion effect, that is a feature request.
Please add your vote here if you think that Audacity should include (at least) one distortion effect. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 33#p241233

Basically the differences come down to hardware, drivers and processing (what you do to the audio). Assuming a level playing field where these are all the same, there will be no difference. Where there can be a very (very very very) small difference, is with a 24 bit sound card on Windows with Audac...

My question is would some changes to this algorithm allow it to recreate pink noise or would that be a lost cause? Making "accurate" pink noise is surprisingly difficult. The usual way is to filter white noise. If you are familiar with C++ there is an excellent example of very high qualit...

Congratulations LimeLaser, it works :D If you want to turn that code into a plug-in, it should be fairly straightforward to do so. See here for useful information: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference I agree with Robert's comment about brackets (parentheses). Indentation and...

I like the general idea of the DR measurement tool. It draws attention to the trend known as the " Loudness War ", which should be of concern to anyone that is interested in high quality recorded music, (but something about which many are unaware). However I do have reservations. Their doc...
