A half second decay is usually a symptom of having "Software Playthrough" enabled (near the bottom of the Transport menu). Software playthough causes a delay because it takes time for software to relay the input sound through to the output. Monitoring the input without a delay requires tha...

I was looking for a tool to correct problems and thus on the wrong track. If there is only a little bit of clipping (just the tops of a few isolated peaks) then the "Clip Fix" effect (below the line in the Effect list) can be applied to just the clipped sections and will attempt to recons...

Feeding a bad sound into a reverb runs the risk of multiplying the badness. Yes that's a common "feature" of reverb. If there is a click or pop in the original track, then the click will be reverberated and sound a lot more prominent. Similarly background noise, clipping distortion and an...

The only restriction I noticed is it refused to process selections longer than two seconds, Yes. The maximum duration that can be processed is 100000 samples. The technical information about this is that Nyquist in Audacity has the maximum size for a "wavetable" hard coded as 100000 sampl...

A good learning experience all round I think :) Hang on, SNAP TO was on.... That is a surprisingly common problem, but we have no idea why it is so common. Perhaps people select "Snap To" when the time units are on milliseconds and don't notice that it is doing anything until they have for...

I've attached Edgar's code as a file for easy installation.

I've noticed a small bug.
When importing all files from the Import Folder, import may fail if there are files with very short file names.
I think this will be a trivial fix but I don't have time to fix it right now - so this is a reminder that it needs fixing.

Here's a code snippet for a "scratch" type effect: (setq depth 2.5) (defun scratch (s-in) (fmosc 0.0 (mult depth (hzosc (/ (get-duration 0.5)))) (list s-in 0 nil) 0)) (multichan-expand #'scratch s) The depth (how much the speed is changed) can be adjusted by changing the number in the firs...

You could also try running this code in the Nyquist Prompt effect: (setq depth 2.5) (defun scratch (s-in) (fmosc 0.0 (mult depth (hzosc (/ (get-duration 0.5)))) (list s-in 0 nil) 0)) (multichan-expand #'scratch s) You can adjust the depth (how much the speed is changed) by changing the number in the...
