Re: Cannot access files - error 5

What is the exact (full) error message?
Which version of Windows are you using?
Do you have both the .AUP file and the _data folder for each project?

Re: how do u increase playback speed?

Yes there will be some loss of sound quality. A more advanced effect (higher quality but not so easy to use) is the Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift effect (only available in recent versions of Audacity 1.3.x). Here are the relevant pages in the manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Change_Spee...

Re: time-stretching by waveset repetition

The short answer is "yes it is possible". A slightly longer answer (with links to relevant documentation): Nyquist is a programming language that has been shoehorned into Audacity to provide a simple way to write custom scripts and plug-ins. http://audacityteam.org/help/nyquist Nyquist is ...

Re: General Programming Questions

I tried the following code in Nyquist Prompt: (vector (mult (aref s 1) (osc (hz-to-step 3) 1.0 *sine-table* 90)) (mult (aref s 0) (osc (hz-to-step 3) 1.0 *sine-table* 0))) It worked pretty much as expected, but my understanding is slightly lower than what I'd like it to be. Take the left channel an...

Re: General Programming Questions

I've just noticed in your code that you have used a "backquote" character instead of a "single quote" character on line: (cond ((not (boundp ’*mkwave*)) it should be: (cond ((not (boundp '*mkwave*)) It's hard to see the difference, but the single quote character is probably the l...

Re: General Programming Questions

First I tried running this in audacity's "Nyquist Prompt..." effect. No luck. I just got a "Nyquist did not return audio" message. For working with Nyquist in Audacity use Audacity 1.3.13. Nyquist support is more limited in earlier versions and several bugs have been fixed. Get ...

Re: General Programming Questions

There's a lot of questions so I'll reply in multiple posts. is there any program that might help me auto-format Nyquist plugins The really useful parts are syntax highlighting and parentheses matching.

Re: Inputs / Outputs

I think that you're now quite close to what improvements can be made with Audacity. Further improvement will probably require more specialised tools.

Re: Recording Level vs. "listening" level... need assistance

Should I keep it in the middle at 0.5, or peak it at 1.0? Internet audio tends to be fairly predictable in level (sudden high level peaks are uncommon) so you can probably push it a bit above 0.5 (-6 dB) but keep it clear of the top/bottom of the track. As soon as it touches the top or bottom of th...
