Re: How to cleanly and crisply repeat a section.

Do you have a wheel mouse?

Ctrl+Mouse Wheel to zoom in/out
Shift+Mouse Wheel to scroll left/right

Some way to jump easily from one end of a selection to the other might be useful - what do you think?

Re: Detecting occurences of a sound

Thanks, I've never used the nyquist prompt before. If you have any "geek" in you, you'll love it :D I'm guessing that filters everything outside the 10-100Hz range then amplifies the result? Spot on. What does "clip" do? It "clips" (truncates) the amplitude to a maximu...

Re: Detecting occurences of a sound

Try running this code in the "Nyquist Prompt" effect on a duplicate copy of the track. (make a duplicate copy of the track by selecting the entire track, then press Ctrl+D) (clip (mult 10 (highpass8 (lowpass8 s 100) 10)) 0.8) You will see peaks where there are "booms". You will t...

Re: Not recording sound.

You need to connect the output from the mixer to the "blue line input" of your sound card.
The recording input in Audacity should also be set to "Line In".

Re: Not recording sound.

What sort of mixer?
How is it connected to your computer?
What settings do you have in the Device Toolbar?

Re: Audacity en français sur Mac OsX & Nyquist

Sorry I do not speak French. 1) The manual is only partly translated - translators are urgently required for completing the translation. Some pages have been translated and are available on-line: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Main_Page/fr 2) Ensure that you have installed Audacity correctly. ht...

Re: Problem with recording. link to video

It's very strange that it was OK for over 20 minutes before the problem suddenly occurred. It sounds like this issue: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements but that is normally apparent within the first few seconds. What sort of sound card are you using...

Re: MetaData Missing from WAV files

Windows Media Player does not support metadata in WAV files.
It's probably the same for Audio CD Burner Studio.
Few programs support metadata in WAV files.

Re: Distortion effects

From a quick look, I think the bug is in the function coord.

The maximum value when (cond t should be equal to linear-limit so that there is a smooth curve.

Re: Distortion effects

First of all, threshold seems to me an unlucky name. The control goes from 0.05 to 1.0. Normally, I would expect threshold to be a dB unit and the effect takes effect about this value. By entering 0.5, the plug-in will amplify the whole signal by 6 dB or a factor of two. This seems to indicate that...
