Audacity Forum

I believe that most of Audacity is written in C++ (I'm not a programmer). Audacity also has "Nyquist" embedded in it, which is a LISP based scripting language that can be used for plug-ins (I do write Nyquist plug-ins). A good place to start with Audacity is building it from the svn source...

You could buy two mixes - one with the music, mixed as you want it with no click track, and one with only the click track. Then use Audacity to mix the two together as described in my first post.

he complained saying that he preferred them the way they used to sound on the juke box - with all the "noise" .... the re-masters were not an improvement on the original Like father like son :D The longer sound sample I don't think that we need a longer sound sample. The noise is very sev...

I presume you have something coded to allow for zero crossing points, such that "Allow silence less than" isn't small enough to label every one of those sounds between zero crossings, even if user types in 0.00001 for that control in the plug-in. Yes there is a safeguard. The minimum &quo...

Tried the new writefile.ny on Windows 7 (both 2.0.0 alpha Unicode and ANSI). I can only write to root of one of my internal drives (D: which is a small partition housing my Win XP installation). All the other drives give "not found" when writing to root (output is written to home director...

Not too high or you will get distortion.
Aim for a maximum level a little over half the height of the Audacity audio track, but ensure there is some gap between the blue waveform and the top/bottom of the track at all times. Digital audio is very unforgiving of recording too high.

Thanks Bill. Unfortunately I don't think that we can allow "/" in the file name as it seems that Audacity/Nyquist won't allow it (unless trying to output a ":" will produce a "/" in the file name). If you (and/or any other Mac user) is interested in helping me to find o...

In 10.7.2 I can't do it. In the File Save As dialog the colon is immediately replaced with a dash. What sort of "dash"? A hyphen "-" ? If you entered: ~/Library/ as the path, and hour:minute.txt what would you (as a Mac user) expect to happen? Can you have a file called " h...

Check that "Sound Activated Recording" is not enabled (not ticked in the Transport menu)

Use the "Amplify" effect to boost the entire recording as high as possible, then use the Envelope Tool to bring down the volume of the loud parts so that they are about the same as the quiet parts. Then use "Mix and Render" (Tracks menu) to "apply" the envelope to the t...
