Audacity Forum

Audacity does not automatically scale the waveform (though you can easily do so with the Amplify effect). Audio data is just a series of "sample values" (if you zoom in really close on the waveform of an Audacity audio track you will see the individual "dots" (samples). The absol...

MIDI is not sound - it is control data.
Audacity is an "audio" editor - it works with "sound".

So with your other non-Jack configurations, you will get a latency variation up to +/-10ms! Yes, but usually within a couple of milliseconds. +/- 10 ms is the maximum (well actually about 8.5 ms).In absolute terms 10 ms is not very much but could sound slightly out. Get 3 good drummers to hit their...

I'm on Linux, which offers choices of different sound servers. The default sound system on this machine is PulseAudio, which is a general purpose sound system that supports multiple applications and multiple sound cards (even networked sound cards). I also have 2 sound cards - an internal "on b...

What did you say? no idea, whatever came into my head at the time - just some random words with a selection of different phonemes. The "BDGM" lable track was with your suggested settings: " It seems 90% below 750 Hz is pretty good to separate b, d, g, m, n, ng from the rest." Th...

It occurs to me that when I speak to my friends who do home and studio recording, none of them have ever mentioned latency, and when I mention it, they seem confused. Many users are not doing overdub recording, so for them, latency is not an issue. For many other users, the default settings (100/-1...

Thanks for the link theRamenNoodle. I changed your description from "latest version" to "Compress dynamics 1.2.6" because Chris released version 1.2.7.b1 shortly before his death. Chris's compressor 1.2.7.b1 is available here Chris's compressor 1.2.7.b1 This version is open sourc...
