There is a set of tutorials here that you will find useful - in particular the one about splitting a recording into separate tracks: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_copying_tapes_lps_or_minidiscs_to_cd.html Also, there is a sample workflow for digitising LPs: http://manual.audacityteam...

The Nyquist code that you need would be something like this: (setq silence-duration (+ 10 (random 41))) (abs-env (seq s (s-rest silence-duration))) So then you just need to add a plug-in header to make it into an Effect (process) type plug-in. This will add a random number between 10 and 50 of whole...

Some of the levels of distortion have significant wave non-symmetry. The distortion favours even harmonics (like valve amplifier distortion) which produces non-symmetric waveforms. The low cut filter frequency can be adjusted, but is always on, which helps to avoid excessive DC offset. Does it work...
