Audacity Forum

Audacity includes a powerful scripting language called "Nyquist" (based on XLISP). Here are some links: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Basics:_The_Audacity_Nyquist_Prompt http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Audio_Programming http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-i...

1) There is no cost for registration. Aurora for Audacity si free, and it will always remain free.... [snip] 2) There is no "russian roulette" in the Audacity version of Aurora. Thank you for clarifying these concerns. 3) Unfortunately the management of external modules change almost ever...

Thank you for the updated information about Aurora. I think that Gale's assumption about Aurora deliberately crashing the host application was an understandable mistake given that it has taken nearly half a year to get an answer to a direct question about this issue. http://forum.audacityteam.org/vi...

Plain oscillators sound "boring" because they are constant from start to end. To make a more interesting sound you could generate a sound that varies over time. As a simple example, try running this in the Nyquist Prompt effect: (abs-env (comb (mult (sum 0.5 (mult 0.1 (ramp 3) (lfo 6 3 *si...

As soon as you get into the digital domain you MUST keep below 0 dB. To qualify that statement, Audacity works internally in 32 bit float format, which CAN handle over 0 dB, but sound cards (D/A converters) work with integer formats and CANNOT handle over 0 dB without distorting (and digital distort...

but would it too slow for live playback? On my machine (a cheap 5 year old laptop), 10 seconds of audio takes about 3 seconds to process, so it should be able to keep up with "real time", though I don't know how much buffering would be required. How about the phase vocoder? I believe that...

OK, but how is the equipment set up? What is plugged in where?

I think you're unlikely to fry your speakers as long as you are sensible - I doubt that the audio output of the Chromebook has enough juice to fry speakers, but if in doubt, use some dirt cheap headphones 'till its all working properly.

Google is a wonderful thing
#-1.IND is how Windows represents a NAN (not a number)
A useful property of a NAN is that it does not have equality with anything, even itself, so (/= x x) is a good way to test.

Unfortunately Audacity currently supports a maximum of 2 output channels. However, if you have another application that supports multi-channel playback, you can export multi-channel files from Audacity http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ad ... tions.html
