Re: Newbie question: compression algorithm

The "make-up for 0 gain" switch seems to be made-up_gain(x) = compression_gain(x) + compression_gain(0) The "Make up gain" is named incorrectly imho. It is actually a kind of "normalizing". When selected, the output of the compressor is amplified such that the peak amp...

Re: avoiding distortion when altering pitch

You could try just increasing the bass a little.

Re: How do I filter out sounds over certain amplitude/loudne

There's a plug-in effect called "PopMute" avaiable here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=122958#p122958 (be sure to click on the link that says "Current Version" rather than either of the obsolete versions). Instructions for how to install: http://wiki.audacityteam....

Re: Combining Analyze and Equalize

Good idea Bill. I think Nyquist could handle much larger numbers of points, but this was just a "proof of concept" and it's much easier to check that it's doing "the right thing" with less points. Sadly there is still the problem of no file browser, however, if it is acceptable f...

Re: Record to same track

I guess I asked the wrong question. I'm not looking to over dub on an additional / new track. Looking to copy & paste on the existing track that's already there...or delete a portion of that track and add a new section to my "existing track." Can this be done? thx, Lou See here: http:...

Re: Newbie question about recording vocals

No its much simpler than that I believe. Lets say you have a verse of gospel song that is 4 layers deep. In other words Lead, Tenor, Baritone and Bass. Lets say I screwed up recording part of the tenor track. Is there a way to re record just a small snippet of the tenor track? That depends on wheth...

Re: WIP: Enhancing Multichannel / Fix Single Channel Recordi

Do I need to apply both of these patches and, if so, is there a specific order? I think it's either/or. Both patches look to be essentially the same but the ChannelMapping_v5a-ignore-whitespace.patch is smaller because it is a diff ignoring white space changes. The larger ChannelMapping_v5a.patch m...

Re: Adjusting quality of "Change tempo" & "Sliding..." effec

"Sliding Time Stretch / Pitch Shift" is probably the best you're going to get, but note that this effect does not like "noise". The "cleaner" the original recording the better. "Noise" ("shhhh") when stretched turns into "zzzzzz" and may ac...

Re: Effect templates?

See these two pages:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Edit_Chains
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Apply_Chain

Note that there are some restrictions on what can be done with Chains, but hopefully this will help to take out some of the repetition.

Re: How to increase FFT resolution?

Unfortunately rpm file isn't available yet. Well if you're on Linux, why not build Audacity 2.0.3 from the source code (or even get the latest svn version, which is very stable at the time of writing), then you could enable FFT size up to 2^16 if that's what you want. The change is just to add: mSi...
