Amplify by percent

A very simple plug-in that provides amplification as a percentage. 200% = double amplitude 100% = no change 80% (default) = a little smaller (-1.9 dB) 50% = half amplitude 0% = silence Values greater than 200% may be typed into the text box. The code is very simple. It simply multiplies each sample ...

Re: How to remove vocals from the Mp3 Song with complete acc

Removing vocals is easy in cases where the vocal to be removed is panned dead centre in a stereo mix where all other sounds are panned to the left or right. At one time this was a common way of mixing songs, particularly pop songs, though the techniques has become less common over the past few decad...

Re: Silence Function

Edit menu > Remove Audio or Labels > Silence Audio.

It has a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux), which is probably Command+L on a Mac.

Replacement for E-MU 1616

Moderator Note: Split from http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=249665#p249665 I updated, and no more mic. You updated what? Audacity, or your operating system, or the computer...? Does the 1616M show up as a recording device in the Windows Sound Control Panel ? If it does then there is a ...

Re: What's the best % setting for Clip Fix?

If the peaks are clipped absolutely flat and all at exactly the same level, then 100% will work. In practice, the clipped level is often not quite flat and not quite at the same exact level, so a little bit of leeway will often produce better results. The default 95% setting is usually about right. ...

Re: Compiling instructions for non-programmer?

According to this article: http://www.creative.com/emu/products/product.aspx?pid=19007 The 1616M PCIe also ships with ASIO2 and WDM drivers for Windows XP, XP x64, Windows Vista and Vista x64 (emphasis mine). The standard 2.0.5 release version of Audacity will probably be able to use the 1616M with ...

Re: wow & flutter spectrum analysis

What I ment to do was: - calculate the time between the first and the second zero crossing of the signal under investigation .... Without doing some fancy and complicated interpolations, measurements for single cycles will not be accurate enough to get meaningful results. If you are simply counting...

Re: How to create chirp with aliasing

You can do it by running a little bit of code in the Nyquist Prompt effect. 1) Add an audio track (Tracks menu) 2) Select part of the track. 3) Open the Nyquist Prompt (Effect menu) 4) Copy and paste this code into the Nyquist Prompt and click the OK button: (setq f1 100) ; initial frequency in Hz (...

Re: working with audio samples

In the previous examples the time is calculated from the sample count.
time = sample-count / sample-rate

Re: Paste/mix

I don't use Wavepad, but from a quick search on Google it appears to be a primitive way of mixing two tracks. Audacity is a multi-track editor so you don't need to do that. Each imported file or recorded track can exist on separate tracks and are automatically mixed when you press play or export to ...
