Re: Exponential Wind-downs for synths?

Which of the curves is most realistic?
Is it the same curve for all sirens, or do some need a different curve?
Would it be useful to have a variable curve?

Re: Muted/Soloed track plays in Audacity but is not in MP3

Either do not press Solo and Mute on the same track, or use "Simple" or "None" Solo button mode (you need the latter if you want to hear more than one track soloed). This just highlights how much confusion there is about this, even for "expert" Audacity users :D If &qu...

Re: No more poncing about with Audacity.

The multi-tool was redesigned between 1.2.x and 1.3.x so as to provide considerably better clip handling.

Re: Barbershop Quartet Echo Effect?
