Re: Nyquist crash with snd-avg

It's an interesting bug (and yes, I do agree that it's a bug ;)) Taking your first code example, if you remove the snd-avg command from the end: (setf srate 44100.0) (defun make-sound (length) (let ((arr (make-array length))) (dotimes (ii length) (setf (aref arr ii) 0)) (snd-from-array 0 srate arr))...

Re: How can I improve low bass levels in a live recording?

The effect to use is the Equalization effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html

I'd recommend that you ignore that tutorial. As one of the comments says "Never never NEVER clip music, thats asking for [damaged] speakers".

Re: Audacity 2.0.5 compilation fails on Debian Squeeze

Thanks for letting us know the outcome GMaq. The developers are hoping to release 2.0.6 before the end of the year. There is a lot of work going on updating old libraries used by Audacity and updating the configure scripts etc. It may be a good idea for you to also try building from SVN so that you ...

Re: Undo L to R panning from original recording using Audaci

I don't know exactly how to do this an Audacity, but it should be possible to blend (mix) the left & right channels into a mono track (either a true mono track, or identical sound in both channels). Or you should be able partially blend the tracks, leaving a small amount of panning & stereo...

Re: Search for words in a digitized recording

Do I first highlight the entire recoding by leaving the cursor at the very beginning of the digital recording and then choose Edit> Track to End so it highlights the whole recording then choose Effects > Sliding Time/Scale and would you recommend setting it to Initial Tempo: 150% and Final Tempo: 1...

Re: can hear MIDI but can't record it.

OK. So what do you see in the Recording tab of pavucontrol when recording streaming audio or local sound files playing through Banshee?

Re: add Preference for Click Removal on import

I'm not keen on automatically processing files on import. It could easily become a nightmare for support ( "Why is the audio bad when I play things in Audacity?" ). If we have this at all I think that it has to be off by default. Rather than multiple options for processing audio on import,...

Re: can hear MIDI but can't record it.

In my Windows setup, I haven't attempted anything similar.. Windows Media Player includes a software MIDI renderer, as does QuickTime. When you play a MIDI file on Windows it may use one or other of these rather than the sound card's MIDI renderer. On Windows, SoundBlaster cards use their own mixer...

Re: Splitting WAV files

Thanks. The first screenshot shows why this is happening. The idea is to create a label at the start of each part that you want to export. Export Multiple will then export the audio starting from the first label, up to the position of the second label as the first audio file, and from the second lab...

Re: Export to MP3 or WAV intensifies the basses

It's probably your media player boosting the bass when you play the WAV file.
Check that your media player is not applying any effects.
