From the manual: (get-duration dur) [LISP] Gets the actual duration of of something starting at a local time of 0 and ending at a local time of dur times the current sustain.

How are you monitoring (listening while recording)?

For percussive sounds it is difficult because SoundTouch uses synchronized overlap-add ( SOLA ) which is very susceptible to this problem, though the SoundTouch library offers a number of parameters for optimising the method according to the type of audio, which is not available in Audacity (http://...

So I'm wondering how to improve things further by avoiding snd-length. Is there some function that tells me "this time is before the ending time of the sound," i.e. "more samples follow," without forcing the computation of the samples? You will need to give more context to your ...

I have also decided (elsewhere in the Plug-ins board) to avoid use of snd-fetch-array and snd-samples entirely. Very large arrays can cause problems - apart from anything else they use a huge amount of memory. The best way to use snd-fetch-array with long selections is to set the array size to a &q...

it was saved as test.aup That is an "Audacity Project" file. There are 2 parts to an Audacity Project, there is the .AUP file (which contains instructions for Audacity but no audio data) and there is the audio data. It is NOT and audio file. To create an audio file, use "File menu > ...

I'll just add the vote sometime as a discussion wasn't started. Shame the discussion wasn't started, but thanks for registering the vote. The most popular idea seems to be to save and load presets. I'm not sure how you could have presets, as most combination are equally valid. The most common data ...
