Re: Inverting the audio spectrum

I understand the code line except the number "2" after mult. Please explain! "Multiply by 2" MULT can act on numbers or sounds . When the there is (MULT number sound ), each sample value of sound is multiplied by number . In other words, the sound is amplified. In this case, by ...

Re: Envelope tool and preserving quality

I want to use Envelope, but without modifying the entire track. It can still be done, but it gets more complicated. 1) Import the file 2) select the part that you want to apply the envelope tool to. 3) Duplicate that part onto a new track. (Ctrl+D) 4) Delete that part from the original track 5) App...

Re: Improved "leveling" for speech

Another minor tweak. Slight speed improvement when using as a 0 dB limiter (Leveling amout = 0%) LevelSpeech.ny This is a rather nice "advanced feature" for such a simple effect. 1) Ensure the track is 32 bit float format. 2) Amplify above 0 dB. 3) Apply the effect with "Leveling amou...

Re: Envelope tool and preserving quality

Provided that you are working in 32 bit float format, dither is only applied on export. On export, dither is applied to the entire track. If you prefer, you can turn dither off altogether (Edit > Preferences > Quality: High quality conversion settings). You may find that interesting to do as an expe...

Re: Envelope tool and preserving quality

Oh yes, and ensure that you are using the current version of Audacity (2.0.5). There was a problem in some older versions where the dither noise could sometimes be a bit higher than it should be.

Re: Envelope tool and preserving quality

I converted all the files into WAV, so no. If you converted them from MP3 (or other lossy format) to WAV, then they are still essentially "MP3 quality". I'm not saying "poor" quality - MP3s can sound very good, but still we're not talking about "pristine" quality. Conv...

Re: Auto generate track names in Project?

The names wouldn't be created as the tracks are created, but when you have 120 tracks you could use the Apply Track Name command That sounds feasible. I can't visualise your working process though and how you would have 120 tracks, I presume that you mean in the same project, of a speaker. Perhaps ...

Re: Improved "leveling" for speech

Slight tweak to the effect. The default setting is unchanged but the noise level is a bit lower, particularly at higher settings.

Re: Questions about sound artifact removal.

I'm just talking about the "squiggly" noise which is left after the vocal remover effect is run over audio. Which "Vocal Remover" are you using? The standard Audacity one as shown here?: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/vocal_remover.html Could you post a short audio clip in...

Re: Auto generate track names in Project?

Is there any way to have Audacity automatically generate the track names as new tracks are created? No there isn't. That would be a feature request so I'll move this to the "Adding Features" part of the forum. The biggest problem that I can see with implementing such a thing is devising a...
