Re: Integrated Dynamic Range (DR) measurment tool

How are they defining "dynamic range" and what do the "DR" numbers mean?
In order to implement something like this, the precise specification for how the measurement is made needs to be know, but I can't see a specification on either of those pages.

Re: Working with stereo and mono track

In Audacity you can only select one "region" at a time, but you can select the same time region in multiple tracks (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_selection.html) When using Nyquist effects, the audio from one track is sent from Audacity to Nyquist for processing and Ny...

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

There's probably/hopefully an easier way to do this. Could you post one of the problematic examples for us to have a look at?
Assuming that they are under 1 MB you should be able to upload one or two of them using the "upload attachment" feature below the message composing box.

Re: need help with song for reverberation

Instruction for changing the MP3 compression settings are here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/file_export_dialog.html Note that re-encoding an MP3 will reduce the sound quality, so it is highly recommended that you make a new MP3 from the original Audacity project, or from an original high qu...

Re: Mono to Stereo Help

and come through both speakers Those are the magic words. A show does not need to be stereo to come through both speakers - if you listen to a mono radio station on stereo headphones, the sound is in both ears. All you need to do is "Split Stereo to Mono". That will give you a mono track ...

Re: What is an easy way to apply just a little compression?

Try turning off "make-up gain" and turn down "Ratio" to minimum (1.5:1). I'm a bit surprised that you find your current settings too much, because that is already quite a gentle setting. If the settings that I've suggested above are still too much, I think we'll need to hear the ...

Re: Preferences: Libraries buttons grayed out

Just tested it. Audacity now builds on Debian testing (Jessie), though for a "production machine" I'd still recommend using Debian stable.

Re: Low samplerate audio sounds lowpassed?

So are we saying that the sound of the recording you found that had the desired sound could be genuine, that is it could be captured and saved as a digital audio file if the DAC played it at 20000 Hz and providing the recording was made at a minimum of 40000 Hz? Yes, that appears to be the case, th...

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

I'm not sure that I understand your use case, but the requested modification is very simple. Just change (setq amp 0.5) to (setq amp (snd-fetch s)) So then you have: (setq amp (snd-fetch s)) ; set amplitude = first sample (setq offset 0.) ; DC offset (setq phase -270) ; start phase in degrees (setq ...
