This will involve some programming.

Binaural spin effect

This plug-in creates an effect that sounds like the sound is rotating around your head. Headphones should be worn to hear the effect properly. The effect modulates the amplitude and applies a synchronised low pass sweep filter to create a "spinning" effect. Although it is a rather simplifi...

Re: How would one create an audio effect of spinning?

It's the 'behind you' part that kills. I don't know that there is a standard way to make sound do that. To do it accurately there's some fancy (complicated) calculations involved for working out delay, amplitude and filter coefficients. However, just applying a sinusoidal sweep to the pan position ...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

Unfortunately "Export > external program" is not yet available in Chains. If you have a lot of files to process I'd suggest that you export in ordinary (MS PCM) WAV format, and then use a batch script to use SoX for the conversion. I've no idea about AppleScript, but I think that bash (Uni...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

A problem that we are having is that we are not totally sure what problem you are talking about. There is nothing in the Audacity recording that I would refer to as "distortion" (other than the expected sound quality degradation due to adpcm encoding), but I do notice that in the Audacity ...

I don't know what they are. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue. It may help if you could post an uncompressed MS PCM WAV file version so I can test that.

Re: Audacity quits abnormally when S/PDIF stops while record

Do I assume that crashes for you? Yes. I'm not really surprised that it does. Not only do we have the unresolved issues in bug 56 , but the sound system is doing some spectacular gymnastics when the Jack server is switched off. Normally, if using Jack, you would start it at the start of the session...
