Audacity Forum

By far the most common reason that I experience Audacity freezing is PulseAudio. I don't think that this would explain 100% CPU usage, but it is certainly something to eliminate before looking deeper. Assuming that you are using ALSA host: In the Device Toolbar , set the recording and playback devic...

Here's a tiny and reasonably efficient function for finding the number of zero crossings per second (not necessarily the frequency). It's good for up to a few seconds of audio. ;;; number of zero crossings per second (defun zcps (sig) (let ((dur (/ (snd-length sig ny:all)(snd-srate sig))) (beh (cont...

If point labels were sufficient (which they usually are for Export Multiple) I was thinking in terms of region labels. For example if a song had been labelled to show verses and choruses (possibly with lyrics as the label text), but then the user wanted to split one of the labels which previously m...

why not snap to samples as default if you are not snapped to any other format In audio tracks we already do that, and I think that is the only sensible thing to do. What we don't currently do when "Snap To" is not enabled, is to snap the selection (hence labels) to sample periods. Quantiz...

Since Plug-Ins can only apply their effect to the selected Audio, the rest of your track will be untouched. However, I don't know how distinguishable the boundaries are in such a case. It's not likely to be very noticeable, but given that we are quibbling about details that are barely noticeable, t...

When I clicked the "Debug" button, I got the value returned by Niquist. When I clicked the "OK" within that message, THEN I got the error message. OK, I think that makes sense. You click the Debug button, and you first get a pop-up that says "Nyquist returned a value of : 4...

Are you sure you don't mean, when you click the "Debug" button?

Do other Nyquist plug-ins work? (for example; High Pass Filter).

when i go to effects/change pitch it wont allow me to type into the frequency box from provided. I have searched forum but this is not covered It gets a brief mention in the manual: If changing by pitch, modify the "To:" and optionally the "From:". If modifying by frequency, mod...

Sure that will work for amplifying by 200%, 400%, 800%...

Your original question was about normalizing, so what happens when normalizing requires 3.287341 dB amplification?

Do you still get the buzzing if the laptop is running on batteries and not connected to the mains adaptor?
