Re: Multiple choice board to create markers

You could make a list of the commonly used label text in a text file, then copy and paste. (If you use Linux, you can set the text document as the top window so that it doesn't get hidden behind other windows). "Ctrl + C" to copy "Ctrl + B" to add a label (when stopped) "Ctr...

Re: Silence Finder Labels

You could modify the "Silence Finder". It is written in "Nyquist".
Try replacing your current version of SilenceMarker.ny with this version:

Re: Internal PortAudio error. No Devices Useable.

I assume that other programs can play audio?

Can you record with Microsoft Voice Recorder?

Re: Blackmagicdesign Intensity Shuttle

yes it is a video capture device. I do get audio levels in various video software but not in Audacity or Garageband. I'm not an expert on video, but I think that video devices combine the video and audio components in the same stream (called " multiplexing " or "muxing"). Most a...

Re: Noise frequency range

1) Between which frequencies does Audacity generate the white noise? The upper frequency limit is half the sample rate (the "Nyquist frequency" ) The lower frequency limit is not bound (not limited). If three consecutive samples have the same value (unlikely but possible because they are ...

2.0.6 - I don't remember at all what version I was using before I downloaded the latest
If you want to try a more recent version, try 2.3.2. That is the first version to have MP3 export built in (rather than a separate download).

Re: chipmunk effect

When I say recording a radio program, I mean producing it for later uploading to a radio station. I choose the music and call in (import audio) the songs to Audacity. Then I comment directly recording my voice after the song and introduce the next song to be called into the program. OK, I understan...

Re: Shift key pops up keyboard preferences

For what it's worth, I occasionally had a preference window pop up occasionally. I never managed to figure out what was triggering it. Over the past few months I've mostly been using the alpha version for the next Audacity release and have not seen the problem at all with this version. I'm hoping th...
