Re: How to measure the dynamic range ?

What do you want? How about RMS measurements for each 100 ms which you can then analyze statistically? If you run this code in the Nyquist Prompt effect (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/nyquist_prompt.html) and apply to a short mono track, it will create labels at intervals of 0.01 seconds (10...

Re: How to measure the dynamic range ?

It is nearly impossible to select manually a quietest part and a loudest part within this babble since it has been constructed to be a continuous multitalker babble with normally "low" variations of levels. If there is too many variations of levels in the background noise, it is then diff...

Re: Recording while using Karaoke function.

The "Karaoke function" in Audacity is just a simple tool that allows displaying lyrics from label tracks (see here for details: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/view_menu.html#karaoke Removing lyrics is sometimes possible using the "Vocal Removal" effect, but often this will ...

Re: How to recover deleted tracks

If the Audacity project is still open, press Ctrl+Z to undo the last action, or use "Undo" from the Edit menu. Audacity has unlimited "undo" levels. Keep "undoing" until your deleted tracks are restored. If you have closed the Audacity project then unfortunately it is t...

Re: Audacity 2.x and LAME

I get a window telling me that not all applications open MP3. That is not an Audacity message, though there is a similar message in Audacity about saving Audacity Projects. Please tell us the actual message. Another, telling me there is already a file of the name, specified. It is inadvisable to ov...

Re: Stereo mixes

If you select "Make Stereo Track" from the track drop down menu, it does not perform any mixing, it simply "sticks" the mono track to the mono track below it. The upper mono track becomes the left channel of the stereo pair and the lower track becomes the right channel of the ste...

Re: filter

The list is in alphabetic order. Open the menu and type the first letter of the effect name to quickly scroll to it. If there is more than one effect with the same first letter, press the same key again to move to the next one.

Re: confusion

See attached wma file (4 sec). Unfortunately not attached. "Import" gives error message that the library can't be found. That usually means that either, FFmpeg is not installed correctly, or the version of FFmpeg is not one that Audacity can use. I'd recommend that you uninstall FFmpeg, t...

Re: Click removal mathmatical equation

Hopefully the Click Removal effect will be replaced in the near future because in many cases it is not effective. The basic algorithm is that it looks at the peak amplitude over a short period of time (represented by the "width" parameter) and compares that to the average level measured ov...
