Re: Flat lining when exporting from audacity project

The project audio itself can't be processed correctly; if you amplify by -2 dB, you'll notice spikes touching +/- 0. If you then open Amplify, it offers a -50 dB reduction for a new peak of +701 dB. The only odd thing I see in the .aup is values of "-1" for "min", instead of &qu...

Re: Residual channel noise

Do you also have "Overdub" enabled? (Transport menu) If so, then each time you record a new track, other tracks will play through your sound card, and because you are recording from "Stereo Mix" they will be re-recorded into the new track, which will lead to a gradual increase in...

Re: Flat lining when exporting from audacity project

I was cutting out the first 4-5 seconds or so...leaving a half second or so before the music started. Once that was cut, then I think I was putting my cursor around 7:09, selecting track start to cursor, then exporting selection. Yes I can also reproduce the fault (Audacity 2.0.0 alpha Jan 23 2012 ...

Re: Residual channel noise

Try this and see what you get! Launch Audacity 1.3.14 using your normal settings. Press Record and record five seconds of "silence" then press Stop. Repeat to get another recording of "silence". Repeat again, and again. Do you see the level meters climb higher at each recording?...

Re: Noise when exporting as WAV

I need a DAW which adds no noise whatsoever to WAV files. Does one exist? Use Audacity and keep everything in uncompressed 32-bit float format. The trouble with 16 bit integer format is that the sample amplitude accuracy is too low to avoid noticeable quantize errors when processing- this is unavoi...

Re: delay changes during song

I can't see anything wrong with the effect plug-in.
