Re: USB Interface - Best Quality Recordings

I have to run out of my laptop headphone out to the input on the zoom to use NI Kontakt Elements software for use with my Graphite Midi USB keyboard. You will probably get better quality if you export from Audacity in WAV format (File menu > Export), and then import the WAV file into Kontakt Elemen...

Re: Compiling instructions for non-programmer?

I agree that building a program from source on Windows is intimidating unless it's something that you are familiar with, but are you sure that you really need ASIO? What advantages does ASIO have for you over MME or direct sound?

Re: How to chart volume/pitch on Audacity 2.0.5

You may be confusing Audacity with some other program. I don't recall a graph like that in any version of Audacity. However, we may still be able to help ;) The normal "waveform" view of an audio track shows the "amplitude" of the waveform. "Amplitude" is the vertical h...

Re: Options Menu

hopefully sometime we will have "Recording Profiles" for choosing which channels to record and what tracks to allocate them to, and audio to buffer/latency correction per device. The latter may well be easiest handled in Preferences. So at some point in the future there may be a need for ...

Re: Options Menu

Some preferences have already been put in more convenient places. The device preferences are now duplicated in the device toolbar. Do we really need the duplication? Why only these 4 options and not others? I would prefer that the envelope tool created linear envelopes. I am able to modify Audacity ...

Re: Compile error analyze.ny

I've prompted the developers about this, but it was only about 48 hours ago that analyze.ny was removed. References in the various build systems are being removed.

Re: working with audio samples

'Setq' is widely regarded as obsolete. In some dialects of Lisp SETQ may be less fashionable, but "obsolete"? Even if it were deprecated in Common Lisp (which it isn't), Nyquist is based on a relatively old version of XLisp. At some point in the future SETQ "may" be deprecated, ...

It means that the result of running the Nyquist code was not usable by Audacity.

What did you do to get that error?
