but it would require a lot of changes to the code, so I don't see that happening any time soon.

Thanks for your comments Diablofire, but this topic is well over three years old so I doubt that the original poster will still be around.

Commercial recordings are often heavily "compressed" to increase the loudness (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war). "Natural" are always a lot quieter. If you'd like to post a short sample (just a few seconds) then we can look to see if that is the problem or if it is...

If you wish to examine the Audacity code, it is available here: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/checkout I'd also recomme...

Do you want a sound that goes "poink!" ? If you do, then "Pluck" is the tool for the job ;) "Pluck" is an example of a Nyquist plug-in for generating sounds. "Nyquist" is a programming language designed for generating and processing sound and is included in Au...
