Is there a way to call the other built in effects installed in Audacity such as Normalize from Nyquist? No, but you can do it the other way round. You can set up a "Chain" of Audacity commands and include one or more Nyquist effects in that chain. See here about Chains: http://manual.auda...

I wrote a "pitch detect" plug-in using "Nyquist" scripting language. That may be a good starting point. The plug-in is available here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Analyze_Plug-ins#Pitch_Detect Installation instructions: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyq...

For recording from a mixer you probably don't need many features. You will need: Stereo Line Level input Stereo Line Level output A headphone output may also be useful but probably not essential if your mixer has a headphone socket. Input and output level controls on the device may be useful, but pr...

Well assuming you are looking at the output of a DAC (lets say DC coupled and the data latched Since audio DACs don't work like that, the stepped output as described is just as much fiction as the linear extrapolation used in the Audacity waveform. There is no way to turn it off. If you are interes...

Try equalization settings similar to this:
You may also need to apply a little Noise Removal because the Equalization will make the background hiss louder.

Here's a before-after example:

I presume that you realise that Audacity does not do real time processing? Audacity cannot process audio on the fly - you have to record or import the audio first, and then process it. Does that undermine your idea of using Audacity for this task?

It would be great if I could zoom in to the individual sample level and see the data as the steps they are They are not really steps. They are really "points" and when you zoom in close you can see them as "dots". Your stepped image looks like it could be some sort of "samp...

Peak.

Which version of Audacity are you using? (Look in "Help > About Audacity"). With the current 2.0.4 version of Audacity on Linux I have no problem importing MP3 files that have a backslash in the name. However, I'd not normally use backslash in a file name - if I want to use that file on a ...

I seem to recall that lengthening the repair selection exponentially increases the processing time :geek: Yes - for selections greater than 128 samples the repair time rises very rapidly. However, there was a suggestion that larger sections could be repaired as a sequence of 128 sample length block...
