Zooming in very close, horizontally and vertically, you can see the problem. There are bits of the recording "missing", causing breaks in the recorded waveform:
What are you using to record? A USB mic?

The Sliding Time scale / Pitch Shift effect can counter the pitch change (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sliding_time_scale_pitch_shift.html) but it will probably sound weird. Voices are extremely complex and human hearing is highly attuned to tiny subtleties within the sound of a voice. Withi...

I think that is a very likely cause.

If the noise is the same in all of the recordings then you can import all of the files into Audacity and apply Noise Reduction to all of the tracks at the same time (though of course it will take longer to process, but you can leave it working while you have a cup of coffee). The quality/effectivene...

Nyquist is basically XLisp with an extra data type - a "sound" - and a load of additional built in functions. There is one tricky concept that you will run into, and that is "behavioral abstraction" the "transformation environment". You can go quite a long way in Nyquis...

But why select from the middle of the first and to middle of the last "unwelcome event"? I tried this with a 5 minute DTMF, assuming the tone was "unwelcome". Yes that can work with DTMF tones, but that is a "special case" in that not only are the "unwelcome"...

When placement is by interval, changing from "Final label at start of interval" to "Final label at end of interval" does add "another" label that looks suspiciously like what the final label does now. On the other hand, if we forget about the problems with the old (cur...

but it may not be clear what we mean by a "final" label given what it means now. sadly my "rewriting history pen" has run out of ink. I'd rather get it right now and for the future than worry about it conflicting with the past. The alternative is that we live with our mistakes f...

Re. "Fit number of labels" If this choice is identical to that in the current effect as I believe then I think it is better to drop the word "fit". Since we agree "not fitting" makes little sense, adding "fit" sows confusion. OK. That is a simple change. "...
