Re: Professional sounding fade out.

but that really needs to be a logarithmic scale - yuck. I see no reason why it has to be a logarithmic scale, especially if some other scale is more useful. "Power" in this context refers to the "power of the fade", so it is logically and mathematically correct . There's a dange...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

I do realize that users may expect to see the complementary pro-fade-in. :) For fading in, I'll sometimes use the "cross-fade in", sometimes a linear fade, and sometimes a repeated linear fade. The choice depends on context (the type of material and where in the material the fade is being...

Re: Convolution DSP

Alas, this whole object-oriented programming gives me headaches and all sorts of pain. I've recently started looking at that side of Nyquist and I know exactly what you mean ;) (though it can give tremendous speed improvement over Lisp loop structures). The other question is whether fft yields the ...

Re: Metadata

Standard audio CDs don't have track data. They often appear to have because players such as WMP and iTunes look up the track listings for commercial CDs on the Internet based on a special identification number on the CD. However, there is an extension to the audio CD standard called "CD Text&qu...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

it's doesn't fade from near silence by default. That seemed like a reasonable default to showcase the main feature. It would be easy enough to change the default. It still has slight disadvantages in that you have to open the dialogue Being that there is no "one size fits all" (or even &q...

Re: Convolution DSP

Yes, and my language is sometimes teribly faulty too. :D No worries, your writing is clear and comprehensible. is there any way to measure the speed of a code execution? Not that I know of, but if a piece of code is particularly slow it is often possible to devise a simple test to compare the speed...

Re: Missing top bar on Audacity 2.0.0

Are you (both) talking about the main Audacity menu at the top of the main Audacity window? If so, are you having the problem where the menu disappears leaving only the letters "Fi" (the start of the "File" menu) visible? If that's the case, the problem is due to a bug in WxWidge...
