I thought that was what you were after ;) Now the bad news - as per my first reply: Theoretically it is possible to fix with careful application of the Envelope Tool (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/envelope_tool.html), but in practice it woul...

Re: Shepard Tone in Audacity?

I think that a "repeat for x octaves" would be useful. The wording does not need to be that, but for a cycle to match up smoothly it probably needs to go for a full octave per cycle.

Re: Audio pattern

Re: Is this a copyright issue?

Open the project.
Select the song that you are having problems with.
Press play and ensure that the entire song plays correctly.
"File menu > Export Selection" to export the selected song.

What happens? Does that work?

Re: Can microphone instability be compensated in Audiacity?

Here's a "before and after" sample. Is this what you mean by "compensating"?

It is available here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=230472#p230472 Please try this plug-in and let me know (by replying to that topic) if it works OK or if y...
