Re: Stereo Recording - 1st track gets recorded in 2nd track

The problem is i need to record in Stereo Mix because if not i wont be able to record stereo (i have two mics) "Stereo Mix" is a special "virtual" input that takes its signal from the output of the sound card. This is not the right setting for recording from microphones. How are...

Re: newbie...totally lost..please help

.id still like to get my real e-mail in the system.. The easiest way would be to re-register with your preferred e-mail address. When you have re-registered I can delete your old account if you wish. Note that Audacity is a free program and we do not have the resources to offer e-mail or telephone ...

Re: Alternate, equal-length "Paste" command ("Patch?")

So, these two commands share a clipboard memory with each other, but it's not the same as with ctrl-c/v? Yes. The "clipboard memory" is a special variable (called *scratch*) in Nyquist that persists from one instance of Nyquist to the next, whereas most variables last only until the plug-...

Re: Alternate, equal-length "Paste" command ("Patch?")

The limitation forwave-tables to only 100000 samples is really a nuisance, since computer power has increased thousand-fold since the first implementation of Nyquist. We should really correct this for the version 4 plug-ins. I raised this on the Nyquist e-mail list a couple of years ago (the list h...

Re: Latency Not Constant

I wondered about this to someone who has done music engineering for decades. He said show me the orchestra where everybody starts within a few milliseconds. That's a good point. 80 samples is less than 0.002 seconds, or about 30 times smaller than would be recognised (by careful listening) as "...

Re: Latency Not Constant

Most likely due to inaccuracy in the sound card clock signal.
If you are using a standard built-in sound card, the manufacturing costs are usually just a few cents and the quality is about what you would expect at that price.

Re: Alternate, equal-length "Paste" command ("Patch?")

One step closer to the pony: Here is a second effect called "Paste Into". It has no options, no interface and is a one click effect. This is the "paste into" part of the "Copy/Paste Into..." effect with the settings hard coded as: Loop paste Crossfade = 0 These settings...

Re: Alternate, equal-length "Paste" command ("Patch?")

If you find the effect doing something bizarre, try clearing the clipboard ("Select action" menu), but also, try and work out what caused the bizarre behaviour so that I can fix it.

Re: Alternate, equal-length "Paste" command ("Patch?")

For my purposes, the looping paste is edge-case behavior, not what I would typically do. Is there such a limitation for non-looping? Currently the limitation applies to both looping and "single shot" (not looping). I'll work on this. Will the final result work with just a selection and on...

Re: Alternate, equal-length "Paste" command ("Patch?")

Great stuff, let's get started :D First problem: With the approach that I was taking, to enable looping the pasted clipboard, the maximum size is 1 hundred thousand samples (99,999 to be precise), not one million (about 2.27 seconds at 44.1 kHz). I'm guessing that this will probably still be OK for ...
