Re: Improving the "Change Pitch..." module

So that puts adding optional frequency controls for Bass and Treble on the shelf for the foreseeable future. I would be extremely surprised to see an "advanced slideout for effects that had the extra options" within the next 10 years. On the other hand, duplicate options in the Preferences...

Re: Can I begin recording with a hotkey?

I'm not opposing it, I'm pointing out that it is not all a bed of roses. If we went charging ahead and added dozens of global shortcuts, then I suspect that would NOT be what the user wants , and I suspect that we would get a lot of complaints. What gyro89 has requested is a global shortcut to start...

Re: Using Audacity to make podcasts

I would like the meta data from each song to stay in the final audio file for all the songs included. This would serve two purposes, when my show is podcasted the listener would see the song names and not just the show names. Also, we could log the songs played in a automation service so I wouldn't...

Re: Using Audacity to make podcasts

I note AAC is the format Apple uses to provide chapters, which might allow the display of songs titles and artist names , as they are being played, on regular players, which might work to allow song logging for a computerized logging system. That might work on some iPods, but there is no guarantee ...

Re: Low CPU usage while converting files

I was converting some mp3s to ogg, and I've noticed that Audacity doesn't utilize CPU Audacity is not designed as a "format converter". It is designed as a "multi-track audio editor". The relevance of this is that for it's design goal it works internally with uncompressed 32 bit...

Re: New plug-in: Stereo Echo

You want comments? Okay. Your plugin crashed my Audacity. Thanks for posting. So that I can look into this, could you provide more detail. What settings were you using? Is the problem repeatable? One or more tracks? Mono tracks or stereo tracks? How long was the selection that you were processing? ...

Re: Improving the "Change Pitch..." module

I am not sure a checkbox at the bottom [ ] Use SBSMS (higher quality, slower) and the same in Change Tempo would be confusing? I wouldn't find it confusing, but it is still one extra control which could be perceived as being more complicated, fuelling the "it's too hard" trolls that flame...

Which is terrific provided that the Audacity global shortcuts don't clash with any shortcuts used in gyro89's game.

Oops, an unfortunate typo.
That should have been:

Thanks for sorting it Gale.
