Audacity Forum

Steve, are you working with a 192KHz file open? Ah ha! That explains it :D The "Size" of the filter is the "FFT window size". That is the number of samples that are used in each (overlapping) analysis window. The larger the window is, the greater the accuracy of the filter at lo...

Leaves me with one question though: if a 16 bit track is up-converted, no quality is added; those new extra bits are, in a way, empty. So, when you down-convert after an complex edit (like amplifying), what quality is lost, exactly? The track was 16 bits to begin with. Basically the same answer as ...

The print function in Audacity is pretty basic.
Audacity also has "Screenshot Tools": http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/he ... shot_Tools...
Alternatively, use a "graphics" program such as Gimp or PhotoShop to create a screenshot of the waveform.

I feel rather sheepish now, You shouldn't. I also missed it at first, but I'm probably more familiar with tracking down such problems in Audacity. I think it would be better if Audacity didn't try to guess the RAW parameters (it always gets it wrong in my experience), but either presented the last-...

1) When I apply a fade out, only a small part of the track is processed. When down-converting back to 16 bit, wouldn't dithering the entire track be pointless? It depends on how intelligently the dither is applied. One of the things that you would want to avoid is for the dither to noticeably cut i...

Since Audacity works exclusively in 32 bit mode, the re-converting in each step (to 16 bit for example) is nothing but destructive. Exactly my point. How about a warning box that informs the user that a conversion to 32 bit float is necessary to apply the current effect. "Warnings" are us...

I've attached the raw file Terrific, that's what I was going to ask you to do :) @steve, I'd be interested to know whether that file imports correctly in the Linux version. If I use the default "offset" (which comes up as "Start offset: 1 byte", I get the same result as you. If ...

I should just calculate the times of the m-th and n-th samples, to define a label that includes the m-th through the (n-1) th and excludes the n-th. I can err up to half a sample time either way and not worry about it. I'm sure there will be some exception to this ;) but yes, that's all you need to...

It would probably be better if Audacity did not get caught in a loop, but the real "bug" here is in "your" code. As a Nyquist programmer you should avoid writing code that crashes or freezes. The problem is that Audacity does not sanitize data returned from Nyquist plug-ins - it ...
