idqbe32.dll is NOT part of Audacity. I'd recommend that you run a boot-time anti-virus scan of your entire computer before you do anything else. This should be a full depth scan, not just a quick scan. It will probably take several hours to complete. If Norton says that your computer is clean, delet...

Try this: 1) Open Audacity. 2) Generate menu > Silence. Generate 6 seconds of silence. 3) Export as silence1.flac (Click the "Options" button to ensure that the FLAC exporter is set to 16 bit). 4) Export as silence2.wav (16 bit Microsoft PCM WAV) 5) Play the exported files - do you hear a ...

Not by right-click > Properties over the mic? Not by any means. I even tried reading the manual :shock: :evil: Skype seems to want exclusive access to the sound device. Yes, but that is how it manages to achieve a high rate of "works out of the box" success. There are plentiful opportunit...

Exporting as FLAC or WAV or AIFF are fine. They are all "lossless" formats. Avoid using MP3, Ogg, WMA, AAC or other "lossy" formats whenever possible - these formats can be useful for creating smaller files for the Internet or for portable music players, but while working on the ...

WAV files are a lot more robust than Audacity projects. With projects you need to take great care that the _data folder remains with the .aup file and neither of them should be renamed. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, read this article: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_projec...

"Amplification" is usually thought of as "making something louder", but you can actually "amplify" by a negative amount so as to make the audio quieter. In the Amplify effect, enter a negative number in the "Amplification (dB)" control to make the selection qu...

Yes, you're right DickN. I was looking at the code from an earlier version. I must have changed my mind about a set "floor" level but not changed the help text. "Mute Level" is the gain when the gate is closed (which is also the level that a 0 dB pop will be after processing). Wh...

I tested the Skype Call Recorder on the echo test and it works rather well. Thanks for letting us know. I've used it on Linux and it worked well. Good to know that it works on Windows too. Unless recent Skype prevents Audacity using the sound device, it should still work given Audacity can choose s...

Audacity 2.0.4 is due to be released very soon. GVerb has been replaced by a new built-in reverb effect (called "Reverb" surprisingly :P) The new reverb effect is a true stereo reverb (also compatible with mono tracks), has built-in presets, supports user presets, and is vastly better than...

I'm guessing that you are trying to apply that plug-in code to a stereo track? "extract" can only work on a "sound" (mono). A good way to debug these sort of things, when there are no user controls, is to run the active part of the code in the Nyquist Prompt effect (http://manual...
