Re: Cross-Fade (revisited)

I have a 0.3 amplitude 400 Hz tone abutting 0.3 noise at 3.2 s. I have generated 500 ms of full scale 1000 Hz tone equidistantly either side of 3.2s. I select from 2s to 4s and do a Cross Fade with length of 1s with the "Simple" Fade Shape. Why does the blip of 1000 Hz tone end up at 2.15...

Re: Generate Tone + Generate Noise

I'm trying to envision a condition where you would want a New Generate selected and sticky. Example - To "bleep out" a word: 1) Select the word. 2) Generate a bleep (tone). 3) Amplify/fade-in/fade-out the bleep as required. By default the noise/tone/silence generators will replace the cur...

Re: audacity 1.3.9 hangs when opening a project

1.3.9 is a rather old version of Audacity. The current version is 1.3.13. The main difference between these versions is that there are a lot of bug fixes in the later version. If possible you should update to a more recent version of Audacity. Are you able to successfully open other Audacity project...

Re: funny noises when recording to audacity

What level is showing on your mixer?
What is the make/model of your mixer?
Does your netbook really have a "Line In" or is it a "Mic In"?

Re: Cross-Fade (revisited)

And I still think there may be a case for presenting it the other way round as a deletion length or compression percentage. For testing purposes I'll make up simplified cross-fade effects (linear fade only) so that these alternatives can be tried. I have not looked at Text Envelope yet. Do you (Ste...

Re: Plugins path changing

I was ready to totally revamp my PC for dual boot, with Linux ... but my sound card is not supported That's a shame. I assume that you are not wanting to invest in a new sound card. I have dabbled with Linux before, and it was daunting even to navigate through all the three and four letter (abrevia...

Re: Cross-Fade (revisited)

I do think we should have a clear idea of how many amplitude plug-ins we are going to propose for Audacity distribution in the near future. Personally I think a text envelope is very important for Audacity, but I doubt if we can "sell" more than two amplitude plug-ins. So is a text envelo...

Re: Cross-Fade (revisited)

Basic users can now click OK without changing anything and always get a result. Yes, though to get a correct result they must select an equal duration of each of the tracks. When the "Limit" slider is set greater than zero: The fade-out duration will be limited to the first "x" ...

Re: Plugins path changing

On Linux you can just create a link in ~/.audacity-files to a plug-ins folder in any user accessible location.
This works for all supported plug-ins.
