It's a tad confusing about the Ctrl/M and Ctrl/B. At one point it seems like you're suggesting doing both simultaneously? With that kind of skill, I could join the circus. :) No, not at the same time. To press Ctrl+B, Press and hold down the Ctrl key, then press and release the "B" key, t...

Coming back to a "more versatile fade" effect; Is the idea of "slope" easier to understand than "curve"? Probably not, because of confusion about whether a "flatter" slope downward is greater or less than a "steep" slope downward. Currently I think t...

This diagram illustrates the relationship between a logarithmic curve and an exponential curve, but how to describe that simply in words??? http://intmstat.com/exponential-logarithmic-functions/10xlogx.gif For an exponential curve, the amplitude is never zero. For a logarithmic curve, the amplitude ...

Trying to write a simple explanation of logarithmic vs exponential. Exponential seems easy: For an exponential fade, the change in level is proportional to its current level. So if you double the level in one time period, then the level will double again in the next time period. If you halve the lev...

Yes but don't us mathematicians get to use a much more succint, elegant, expression ;) It would be so easy if all users were mathematicians as all of these curves can be simply, briefly and unambiguously defined (for mathematicians) ;) I don't know whether other non-mathematicians want a simpler an...

I've added the vote (we are not distinguishing between pre-and post roll in votes as we would add both when we do it). However a developer has already said this is a significant piece of work and it is not likely to happen soon Perhaps we should have separate feature requests for pre- and post-roll...

I have downloaded the Prison Island video and imported the audio into Audacity. Zooming in really close at about 3 minutes 17 seconds: firsttrack000.png See how the waveform is so big that it does not fit in the track - the top and bottom of the largest peaks are being "chopped off" (clipp...

There is some distortion in the "bad example". Something is being overloaded - either the recording level is too high, or you are too close to the microphone, or you're getting excited and talking too loud, or you have pushed up the level too high when editing, or ..... See the flat top to...

"Use the "Import Audio" command in the Project to open all of the .au files in the Audacity temporary folder or project _data folder. How exactly (step by step, click by click) did you import the .au files? I assume that from what you can hear of the slowed down files that you can co...

Hi Graham. It is usually easiest to record the whole thing, or a whole section, and if you make a mistake, just add a "label" to mark where the mistake is, but keep recording until you get to the end of the section. After you have got to the end of that section, stop the recording, Export ...
