Audacity Forum

Updated. This version does not have the help menu or the normalize feature. ADVICE: It is highly recommended to use 32-bit float format for audio tracks. If this format is used and the output level is inadvertently boosted too much then it can be brought back down below 0 dB by using the Amplify eff...

Thanks Edgar.
I've already posted a patch to bugzilla that worked on my machine (and included a disclaimer that I may not know what I'm talking about )

Could you also open Audacity and from the Help menu select "Audio Device Info..."
Paste the contents from the pop-up window into your reply.

The .asoundrc file existence makes no difference. Normally, there is no .asoundrc file but making one (with the script) causes this contents: pcm.Audigy2 { type hw; card Audigy2; } ctl.Audigy2 { type hw; card Audigy2; } pcm.HVR950Q { type hw; card HVR950Q; } ctl.HVR950Q { type hw; card HVR950Q; } p...

The easiest way to find the amplitude is to select the part that you want to measure, ensuring that your selection is at least as big as the "gap" that you intend to specify: selection.png Then call up the Amplify effect from the Effect menu (do not apply it). amplify.png Here we see that ...

An easy way would be to take the code from SilenceFinder.ny oder SoundFinder.ny an apply in the silent parts more background noise then in the sound parts. It would probably be easier and would certainly be more efficient to create a control signal that follows the amplitude of the sound and then u...

And why Nyqust doesn't take "The logical stop time" of the last element for the total end time by default? Sorry but that is probably beyond my ability to explain :D It's all to do with *warp*, the "environment" and the difference between local and global time. My multichannel v...

Before I go recording more vinyl, am I better off leaving the line-in sampling format as 16-bit / 44100hz and the same setting on Audacity (not 32-bit float) with no dithering because I will not be amplifying or saving them in a different format. That will not necessarily have the effect that you i...
