Re: Extremely slow Auto Duck - and a solution.

I think there must be something else going on as you get very different results to what I see. 5 mins stereo 44100 Hz sample rate -> 1 min 8 seconds processing time. (50% CPU load, equal to one processor core at 100%) There is no excessive disk activity. My computer is a cheap Acer laptop running Li...

Re: Metallic (tin can) sound when played back

As shown in the image and confirmed by the "Audio Device Info", the only recording input available on your machine is the microphone, which will sound bad recording internet broadcasts. See the blue panel here for alternative approaches: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issu...

Re: modified silence marker to insert more silence

I fancy that an implementation within the silence finder will not work due to the fact that only Labels or Sound can be returned. That's right - you can't return labels and a sound. Also, strictly speaking, modifying the sound should be an "Effect" (process) type plug-in whereas analysing...

Re: Regular Interval labels ignores , as decimal separator

I wonder if the "Normalize to" box would behave as expected if it was a slider? "Normalize" uses a different style of widget from that used in Nyquist plug-ins, so I think we will need to look at that separately. Normalize: wxTextValidator vld(wxFILTER_NUMERIC); .... .... S.Star...

Re: modified silence marker to insert more silence

Strangely no-one I am aware of has mentioned John's idea before as an audio effect. I also find that quite surprising. Slowing down "language tutorials" seems like an obvious application, and as JH2013 wrote, such tutorials are quite common these days. One option is that this effect could...

Is that a difference between a Text Input Widget and a Slider Widget?

Re: Regular Interval labels ignores , as decimal separator

What exactly is the correct way to change the system or Audacity language on Linux to reproduce bug 173 there? Last time that I tested bug 173 I installed Linux with a European language. That is a pain unless you are reasonably fluent in that language because it puts everything to that language def...
