Re: Beginner's help

I think there is a bug in SND-SEQ (which is used by SEQ and SEQREP). The upshot is that SEQ and SEQREP can only see "S" if it is in the first argument. Occurrences of "S" in the second or subsequent arguments are seen as NIL. Thus, this will work: (seq s (osc 60)) and this works:...

Re: Beginner's help

And I still don't know how to make any use of seq. I thought it would relieve me of the need for sim and at. When dealing with Sounds it is much easier to use Sim and At. Seq is much easier to use with Behaviours than with sounds, for example: (abs-env (let ((s1 (mult (pwlv 0.8 1 0)(osc 60))) (s2 (...

Re: Beginner's help

I'm probably not the best person to answer as I've had no formal training in programming. Nyquist is based on LISP (XLISP) and I'd say that it is primarily used as a Functional programming language, though it does also have some Object orientated capability. One feature of Nyquist that can sometimes...

Re: Lost Project

My first guess is that you moved, renamed or deleted "dependent" files. (see here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/au ... pendencies)
Is that possible?

Re: Recording 2 things at once/muting channels

Steve, please can you tell me what the sound chipset/drivers system is on your Acer 5735. The sound chip is: Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) but as Ragnar wrote, that does not really tell you anything about what the board manufacturer has put between the chip and the socket....

Re: Beginner's help

Yes this is complicated. I'll explain as best I can, but this is complicated. Yes the problem is all tied into the idea of *warp*, the "environment", behaviours and sounds. "Extract" works by changing the start and stop time of a sound, so in a simple example, if you have a sound...

By "left marker" and "right marker" I presume that you mean the left and right ends of the selection?
I can imagine that would be very useful for blind users.

Do you mean that the waveform in Audacity disappeared (became a flat line)? Or did Audacity crash, or freeze, or something else?

Re: Beginner's help

is there some way to randomly access samples rather than the sequential snd-fetch? Note that bitwise processing in Nyquist is slow. It is generally a lot more efficient to work with sounds rather than samples. There are various ways of accessing samples. You can read samples into an array and then ...

Re: Audacity Plugins Query

Audacity is looking for VST plug-ins. If any VST plug-ins are present they should be detected and Audacity will not scan again until you tell it to. If no VST plug-ins are found, then Audacity will repeat the scan each time it starts. As it appears that you don't have any VST plug-ins installed, you...
