Re: Cannot Get Audacity 2.4.2 to record. Tried everything--even two different computers.

P.S. Steve, I forgot to mention that when I had the cassette player plugged into the interface, and interface run through the computer and Audacity, I checked to see if Audacity would record the cassette tape, and it did record just fine. That's important. It shows that both Audacity and the interf...

a format compatible to Webvtt etc.. (00:00:00:00)
This document seems to suggest that the standard Webvtt format is "00:00:00.000" rather than "00:00:00:00".

Was that a typo on your part, or is there another standard?

Re: Multiple choice board to create markers

Could a "multiple choice board" for labels possible to be developped ? Audacity is deliberately general purpose. This allows it to be useful for a huge range of applications. When additional tools are required for specific jobs or workflows, it's better that they are added as plug-ins (ra...

Re: Cannot Get Audacity 2.4.2 to record. Tried everything--even two different computers.

Thanks for clarifying.

Try resetting Audacity to default settings ("Tools menu > Reset Configuration"), then try recording with the default settings.

Re: Silence Finder Labels

If you are interested, this is what I did: The original version had this line: (setf *labeltxt* (_ "S")) That sets the variable (symbol) *labeltxt* to the string (text) value " S ". I renamed all occurrences of *labeltxt* with label-text (there is only one other occurrence). This...

Re: labels time frame export -accessibility feature for CC

The numbers in exported labels indicate the time position in seconds. You could use a spreadsheet program to convert them into other formats.

Re: Cannot Get Audacity 2.4.2 to record. Tried everything--even two different computers.

If Windows does not hear the interface, then Audacity will not be able to either. The meters on the mixer indicate it is receiving sound from the mic, as does the ring modulator and the helicon, but Audacity still does the same thing I mentioned before. The meters on Audacity are jumping back and fo...

Re: Noise frequency range

Everybody loves "brick wall filters" (beyond here you shall not pass!) but severe filters do messy things to the passband and the work in the middle. Look up the difference between Chebyshev (messy, sharp) and Butterworth (gentle, sloppy) filters. but some modern digital filters can get p...

there must be a specific value that mathematically Audacity generates
Like most digital white noise generators, Audacity generates white noise by producing audio samples with random values between +/- 1.

Re: 192KHz input and output system

a) creates waveforms and/or noise at 192KHz b) outputs that waveform at 192KHz (i.e NOT down-sample it or low-pass filter it) Are you referring to 192 kHz "sample rate"? There are many sound cards that support 192 kHz sample rate, but I'd expect most of them to roll off frequencies above ...
