Re: Auralise annotations in Audacity

I don't understand how do you "move in time" there. So far we've got how to generate tones and how to amplify them. What would be useful would be if we could "shape" them so that they are not just a constant volume. To do this we need to "multiply" them by something th...

Re: Auralise annotations in Audacity

I think I will start from reading time labels from some list hard-coded in program. Have a look at the list. As long as you are not using label text, the list should look something like this: 2.052789 2.052789 4.105578 4.105578 6.033197 6.033197 Because you are creating "point" labels wit...

Re: Registering

Audacity is free open source software. It does not ask you to register. I suggest that you uninstall whatever it is that you have installed and run a full system virus scan. Only download programs from trusted sources and watch out for sneaky adverts. The official Audacity download page is here: htt...

Select the USB option as the recording device in the Device Toolbar
Ensure that the USB device is set as the default recording device and the recording volume is turned up in the Windows Sound Control Panel

Re: Auralise annotations in Audacity

Yes, definitely possible, though with the limitation that it cannot "read" labels directly, so you would need to either: Export the label track, open it in a text editor, then copy and paste the label data (text) into a text window in the plug-in (much easier to code). Export the label tra...

Re: Nyquist Workbench for Nightly builds

I'd rather be interested which advantages the nyquist workbench can provide for us as developers. It would be nice if Steve could pass on some of his experiences to us. I don't know how accessible Nyquist Workbench is - I don't have a screen reader installed and Audacity accessibility is badly brok...

Re: Noob question on Overdubbing

For many reasons, the method that I suggested here works a lot better than cutting and pasting into the same track. The multiple vocal tracks are in the same 'project' that I saved. That's fine. They will be mixed into a single audio file when you export. If necessary you can use the Time Shift tool...

Re: Auralise annotations in Audacity

Two choices then I think.

If this is a one-off job then manual editing will be fastest.
If you will be doing this type of job regularly then writing a plug-in may be better.

Do you want help with how to best do this manually, or with writing a plug-in?

Re: Auralise annotations in Audacity

It would be possible to create a Nyquist plug-in that can read data from an exported label track, but as far as I'm aware such a plug-in has not yet been written. Unfortunately plug-ins are not currently able to read label tracks directly. There may be easier approaches. Have you tried the Beat Per ...

Re: Getting a loud beep on recording

It is probably being created by some demo software that is on your computer.
Do you have "Virtual Audio Cable" installed?
Do you have and demo or trial version VST plug-ins installed?

When you find the culprit you will need to either register it (pay for it) or remove it (uninstall it).
