Re: ReplayGain

You can probably use the ReplayGain effect in a Chain (I've not thoroughly tested this, but it seems to work). http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/chains_for_batch_processing_and_effects_automation.html Note that the ReplayGain effect was developed for music. I've no idea if it will be effective wi...

Re: Silence audio won't work on newly downloaded 2.0.4

The default shortcut for "Silence Audio" is Ctrl+L not Alt+L.

If you shut down and restart Audacity and then generate a tone (Generate menu), then, ensuring that the generated audio is selected, apply "Silence Audio", does that work?

Re: ReplayGain

Thanks. The main problem appears to be that the sample rate of the track is too low. This plug-in is designed for music with a sample rate 44100 Hz or above. Actually, the minimum sample rate that it can handle is 32000 Hz. In order to use this plug-in with low sample rate audio you will need to inc...

Re: My Audacity's Play bard does not move when I press 'Play

After hitting preview for the Echo effect the 'Remaining Time' begins to rise exponentially to no end (this persists with any effect's 'Preview' button). How do you get out of that? Are you pressing the Stop button to close the preview dialogue screen? What sort of sound card / audio device are you...

Re: Will not record

Mac computers have no built in ability to record sounds that are playing on the computer.

Re: ReplayGain

the result is that the track starts ~0.05 s later I've no idea how that can be happening. I don't see anything in the code that is able to do that. f I select a track and choose ReplayGain set to Analyze and 0.0, I get an error message saying "Nyquist did not return audio." Any idea what ...

Re: eq

In my second post I asked how I could "batch EQ" several tracks at once. I really did not understand the answer. I want to do this because as a DJ, I need to have the EQ about the same when I am playing live. This has been a constant problem for me, going all the way back to the 1970's wh...

Re: eq

edit the silence in the intro and outro of each track; There is a plug-in available here that can automatically delete silence from the start and end of tracks: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=151412#p151412 Instructions for installing plug-ins: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Downl...
