Audacity Forum

Let's remember the reason for starting this thread - it wasn't about the ability to do "stuff" while paused (how many folk actually want/need to do that?) - it was about helping hapless folk like the thread linked to in the initial post who can't figure out why "stuff" doesn't w...

But that doesn't help blast for his game playback Problem. The great question is how the mp3s are decoded within the game I prefer the question "why use MP3"? If space allows, WAV ( or headerless PCM) could provide high quality sound, more efficient decoding and gapless looping. If space ...

lame has a delay of 576 samples (half of the mp3 Frame size). Is that correct? I thought that the overall encoder/decoder delay was undefined, hence the addition of metada by some encoders to enable gapless playback to be faked (a feature supported by Lame). 576 samples is the size of one "gra...

A more complex example. Try applying this to a generated tone:

If it is a relatively simple envelope, you can use the Envelope Tool: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/envelope_tool.html If you want an envelope with dozens, or even thousands of points and have a formula to generate the points, it would be possible to create an envelope using a Nyquist Script ...

No beep on Linux with or without your patch.
This looked hopeful as an explanation, but it is marked invalid : http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14899

Is this likely to have any effect on Linux where currently beeps don't work at all in Audacity?
