Re: Batch Conversion: copy original file dates

I've had a look on Google and arrived at the same conclusion. Another possibility could be to find a command line program that can read and write the file creation data, and write a batch script to run that application in conjunction with a command line format converter. SoX is a command line progra...

Re: Error on sliding time scale/pitch shift

There have been changes to sliding time scale/pitch shift between 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 so it looks pretty certain that these changes are involved in the crash, but the fact that everyone else is having so much difficulty in reproducing the crash would indicate that there is more involved than just a &quo...

Re: Audacity Stops Working While Exporting

Do your "recordings" include any Imported files, or are they only recordings?
Are you adding any Metadata?

Re: Batch Conversion: copy original file dates

I'm not sure that it would make much sense for the vast majority of Audacity users as Audacity is intended to be an audio editing program rather than a batch converter. The Exported files from Audacity are new files, and would normally be different from the original imported files (for compressed fo...

Re: Making mp3 Exports Smaller

Yes, it's here: MP3.png For mono speech based recordings this will give very good sound quality and still come in at well under lacart's 50 MB limit. The bit-rate is likely to be substantially lower than the quoted figure as the setting is based on "perceived quality" rather than kbps. The...

Re: Comparing Sony TT preamp & Behringer's

If you have no preference of one over the other, go with whichever is more convenient ;)

Re: Error on sliding time scale/pitch shift

And is the exact time near the end of the file when it crashes always the same? What time is that exactly? The one time that it crashed for me, the crash occurred exactly as the processing completed and before the waveform was redrawn. I get the impression that it's the same for mdubin. Perhaps he ...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

If anyone is interested in the technical details of the "Pro Fade Out" effect, open the plug-in in a text editor. I've included a brief description of what it is actually doing in the code comments. The technical details are not important from a user perspective, it is just intended as a n...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

Nyquist can't distinguish the difference between white space and silence. I think that most folk assume (like you) that the selection needs to go to the end of the track for all fades, even the Audacity fade, so it's not really a problem. There is a slight plus side to the behaviour in that if the u...
