Audacity Forum

the Troubleshooter got hung up when it tried to check the Audio Recording devices -- this happened several times, and I gave up on it. Of course that should not happen, so there is clearly some other problem on your computer. Well, now I'm dumbfounded. I tried launching Audacity 2.0.2 immediately a...

Clip Fix can also be used almost like a waveshaper to construct peaks in audio that isn't clipped but perhaps overcompressed. I quite often use it like that - illegitimate or not I think it does a great job in those cases to breath life back into the audio (and much easier to use than a conventiona...

$40 US is hardly an arm and a leg

My guess is that a component has failed, or is starting to fail. Although electronic circuits don't have moving parts they still don't last forever. Of course I can't be 100% certain about that. If it is a hardware fault then that's not the sort of thing that can be fixed on a forum

By selecting the beep and using Plot Spectrum you can see that the beep is at 1046 Hz. spectrum.png Assuming that all of the beeps have exactly the same frequency, you can make the beeps easily visible with the following method: 1) Make a duplicate of the recorded track (Select the track then Ctrl+D...

ClipFix is a Nyquist plug-in . While a very versatile language for rapid development of plug-ins, Nyquist is very slow for sample-wise processing and would probably be too slow to implement a high order least squares auto-regression. I would therefore like to suggest that the interpolation used in &...

You seem to have found a case where Clip Fix is bound to fail. It's close to a "best case" example for the Repair effect and close to a "worst case" example for ClipFix. It wasn't particularly obvious from the original picture why, but on close inspection and considering the alg...

I was using version 2.0.2 OK, but I saw the upgrade to 2.0.3. I upgraded and no more Audacity :( The first thing that I would suggest is that you re-run the Audacity 2.0.3 installer and select the option to reset preferences. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#r...

Previously, I found the quickest, and still satisfactory, solution for recording sound from my computer was a patchcord linking the audio input to the headphones jack on the back of my iMac. I'm wondering if there's any interface that would permit a similar quick and handy way of capturing computer...

although when working with 32-bit samples, I believe one only has to de-amplify afterwards so that the recovered peaks are no longer clipped. That is correct (with recent versions of Audacity). I've prepared a simple example that shows how, in my opinion, the interpolation of "Effects"->&...
