Audacity Forum

especially as the audio I'm using to cover the gaps is taken from just before the gap. Basically I just want an easy way to extend the audio so that it covers the gap, but without changing the total time. For this special case I've got a possible solution for you to try: 1) Select the part that you...

Because I also often found it unfortunate that Nyquist prints only the first six digits after the dot I wrote a function that computes the missing digits from the number of samples after the dot, and therefore works best if the floating-point number represents the length of an Audacity selection or...

Which frequency analyser?

The bass boost may be causing the overall level to go too high and so cause distortion. Before you use the Bass Boost effect, try using the Amplify effect and set the "Amplification (dB)" setting to -6 (minus six). This will reduce the overall level of the track and so leave more space for...
