Re: Trouble with new WordPress site

There are thousands of hosting companies, many of them have packages that are suitable for podcasters. Prices, conditions and the quality of service vary so you need to find one that suits your needs. For starting off I'd suggest looking for a free service (they do exist, but usually have either adv...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

The question with exponential fades is "what to do close to zero?" For a mathematically correct curve, a fade out to a very low level is not really useful because much of it is inaudible: firsttrack000.png When fading to/from absolute silence, the result would be silence for the entire dur...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

Hopefully we will have room to include a proper "cross fade" effect (that applies a cross-fade) at some point. This is more difficult because of the plans for a similar effect written in C++. A built-in effect (C++) has many advantages over a plug-in implementation but a plug-in may be a ...

Re: Analyze plug-in: Peak Amplitude

Neat trick Robert, though not very easy to follow for people that are starting out with Nyquist. It may also be worth noting that sample rate, number of channels and duration are also available (almost instantly) without needing to calculate them: (format nil "Sample Rate: ~a~%Channels: ~a~%Dur...

Re: Separated/Individual balance for Right and Left channels

Other recording programs will allow you to pan the track being recorded. That would be a very unusual feature. Most audio recording programs take their input directly from the sound system. Full-featured real-time DAW applications will allow you to map audio track inputs to any available source. Re...

Re: Trouble with new WordPress site

This question really has nothing to do with Audacity. You might do better to ask on a Wordpress forum or ask your hosting provider.

Re: Export turns into 'File'

Avoid using the "dot" (period / full stop) character in file names. Generally it's best to stick to numbers, letters, space, hyphen and underscore in file names.

Analyze plug-in: Peak Amplitude

The peak amplitude of a selection can be found quite easily and quickly as a side-effect of the "Amplify" effect, but here is a plug-in that is designed specifically for the job. Using the Amplify effect has the advantage that it is extremely fast, but some users may not be comfortable wit...
