Re: Test if .wav file was ever an mp3

If there are frequencies above 20kHz present in the file then it is likely that it has never been compressed.
The very highest quality MP3s (320 kbps) are limited to a maximum frequency of 20 kHz.
Lower quality MP3s are generally limited with a lower cut-off.

Re: Simple Wave Folder

Note that unlike a real diode-based wave folder, any peaks that pass the opposite threshold as a result of a fold will not be folded back again. I suppose one way to implement that would be to iterate the process (truncate (/ 0.5 p-thresh)) times. Another limitation which is a lot more difficult to...

Re: Rectivert - Rectification and Inversion

Attached, just as an example, is an adaptation of your plug-in which includes the suggestions from my previous post. This is not necessarily "the best way" to code it, it's just how I would code it ;) (For very good examples of Nyquist coding, look at some of the code from Edgar-rft and Ro...

Re: Rectivert - Rectification and Inversion

A nice neat little tool :) Some feedback that I hope you will find useful: The multiple choice widget was introduced in "version 3" plug-ins, so it should be ;version 3 rather than ;version 1. The ;info line contains: Performs seperate half/full wave rectification and/or phase inversion on...

Re: interface input activation

Audacity can only record from one device at a time. However, on Macs (or at least on some Macs) it is possible to create an "aggregate device" which in effect combines multiple sound cards into one virtual device. Audacity can then use that aggregate device as the (one) recording device. (...

Re: How do I open an Audacity file that own't open after I r

The .AUP file should be called:
1a.aup
(as it is now)

The _data folder should be called:
1a_data

The 1a.aup file and the 1a_data folder must both be in the same directory.

Re: Artifacts In Recorded Tracks (Sample Included)

Just out of interest, how many megabytes-per-second am I looking at during a 48000Hz/24 Bit recording? 24 bit = 3 bytes Stereo = 2 channels of samples 48kHz 24 bit stereo = 3 x 2 x 48 kB per second. That does not sound like much, but the important point is that it must be continuous sustained throu...

Re: Audacity 2.0 not working on Windows 7?

I got that error message again... Exactly what message was that? (we can't see the error message). Clearly, my drivers are not the issue From the information that we have so far I would not jump to that conclusion. It is perhaps less likely to be a driver issue. What sort of sound card do you have?...

Re: How to use plug ins

What sort of plug-in is "Ambience"?
Do you have a link to where it came from so that I can have a look?

Did you follow the instructions in my previous post?
If it is a VST effect, did you follow the link in my previous post and follow those instructions?
