Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

I believe so. Though I prefer "ignore sounds shorter than ... seconds". OK, I've changed it to "Ignore sounds shorter than ... seconds" I feel "Group" implies something "plural" In a way I guess it is. The user case in the front of my mind is for splitting le...

Re: Sound/Silence Finder enhancements

Ironically, the way that SilenceFinder works (under the covers) is that it detects sounds, but if there is no leading silence then the first detected sound to be labelled is discarded - exactly the opposite of what most users would want. Yes but is having no leading silence a common case for album ...

Re: Noise Cancellation question-creating an inverted sound w

See "Destructive interference" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_%28wave_propagation%29#Mechanism To cancel out a sound completely you need an identical sound that has a "180 degree phase shift", or in other words "inverted". Audacity can invert a waveform...

Quite easily. For example if you imported a file from a CD-R or any other non-writable location.

Re: Problem with the "Repeat" effect

But I'm doing something that I think should keep that from happening. Before applying the repeat, I repeat play the selection along with the drum track. I figure if the repeated passage sound okay rhythmically, with no "hiccups" -- no unwanted fractions of beats or incomplete beats -- the...

Re: Nyquist Plug-in: THE KRONx ECHO LOOPER

Glad to see you boiled it down to 6 lines of code. There must be tiny tiny elves in that code who run around doing things for that to work... :D Fortunately Professor Dannenberg gave us some pretty neat tools. This is the main function that does the work (slightly simplified): (defun looper (sound-...

Re: Contrast Analysis not Working

Probably, but if that is possible do we then retain the restriction on only analyzing one track at a time? A selected left and right channel would be the same as a stereo pair. Does it then become meaningful to analyze multiple tracks before mixing them, and what if the user has moved the gain or p...

Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

I don't think users will see the distinction between disregard and ignore. "Ignore" is simple I think that the current wording is a more precise description of what the plug-in actually does. The plug-in has a "rule" to mark sounds that are above the threshold level, but this co...
